FAQs

Is this artificial grass suitable for pets and children?

Yes, its excellent drainage prevents muddy conditions, making it a clean and safe surface for children to play and pets to run around without tracking dirt indoors.

Does the color fade over time with sun exposure?

No, this artificial grass features UV resistance, ensuring that its vibrant green color stays true and does not discolour, even with prolonged sun exposure.

How often do I need to clean or maintain it?

Maintenance is super low. Typically, you only need to hose and brush down the grass occasionally to keep it fresh, new looking, and to lift the pile.

Can I install this grass myself?

Yes, it is designed for easy fitting. You can cut it to size with a sharp blade and use tape and adhesive for seamless joints, making it suitable for DIY installation.

Do I need to add sand infill after installation?

No, this particular artificial grass does not require sand infill, simplifying the installation process.

What surfaces can this artificial grass be laid on?

It is versatile and can be installed both outdoors and indoors on many different surface types, including soil (with proper base), concrete, paving, and decking.

Troubleshooting

Grass appears flat or matted in high-traffic areas.

Regularly brush the grass with a stiff-bristled broom or a specialized artificial grass brush. This helps to lift the blades and restore their upright appearance.

Water is pooling on the surface instead of draining.

While the grass has excellent drainage, pooling can indicate an issue with the underlying base. Ensure the ground beneath is properly prepared, level, and compacted to allow water to permeate efficiently. Check if drainage holes on the backing are clear from debris.

Grass looks dirty or has minor stains.

Hose down the entire area with water. For more stubborn dirt or stains, use a mild detergent solution and a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Difficulty achieving seamless joints between rolls.

Ensure you are using a sharp blade for precise cuts on the backing. Align edges carefully before applying joining tape and adhesive. Apply adhesive evenly and press down firmly along the seam for a strong bond.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Cost-Effective Investment: Provides an affordable solution for a green lawn without the ongoing costs of natural grass maintenance.
Year-Round Vibrant Color: Thanks to UV resistance, the green color stays true and vibrant throughout all seasons, without discolouring.
Extremely Low Maintenance: Eliminates the need for mowing, watering, or fertilizing, requiring only occasional hosing and brushing.
Excellent Drainage: Designed with permeable backing and drainage holes to ensure water flows through, preventing pooling and muddy conditions.
Simple DIY Installation: Can be cut and fitted with basic tools, making it accessible for home projects.
Versatile Use: Suitable for a wide range of applications, both indoors and outdoors, on various surface types.

Cons

Shorter Pile Length: The 7mm pile is practical but may not offer the plush, soft feel or highly natural appearance of longer, higher-end artificial grasses.
Specific Feel: Its short blade design results in a more functional rather than luxurious texture.
Base Preparation Required: While easy to fit, proper ground preparation is essential for optimal drainage and a smooth finish, adding to the initial effort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

Prepare the Surface: Ensure the area where the grass will be laid is clean, level, and well-drained. Remove any debris, weeds, or uneven patches. A firm, compacted base (e.g., crushed stone, sharp sand) is recommended for optimal drainage and stability.
Unroll the Grass: Carefully unroll the artificial grass over the prepared area. Allow it to settle for a few hours in the sun if possible, as this can help remove any creases.
Cut to Size: Using a sharp blade (like a utility knife or Stanley knife), carefully cut the grass to fit the desired shape and size of your area. Always cut from the backing side for precision.
Join Sections (if needed): If you are laying multiple pieces, ensure the edges are neatly aligned. Use joining tape and a suitable adhesive to create seamless joints, applying the adhesive evenly to the tape before pressing the grass edges firmly onto it.
Secure Edges: For outdoor installations, consider securing the perimeter with adhesive, ground pins, or a border to prevent lifting.

Compatibility

Surface Types: Compatible with a wide range of surfaces, including soil (with proper base preparation), concrete, paving, decking, and even indoor floors.
Indoor/Outdoor Use: Designed for both outdoor landscapes (gardens, patios, balconies) and indoor applications (e.g., playrooms, exhibition spaces).
No Sand Infill: This grass does not require sand infill, simplifying the installation process and reducing maintenance.

Care & Maintenance

Regular Cleaning: For general upkeep, simply hose down the grass to remove dust, dirt, or pet waste.
Brushing: Use a stiff-bristled brush (a broom or specific artificial grass brush) to brush down the blades occasionally. This helps to keep the pile upright and maintain its fresh, new look, especially in high-traffic areas.
Spot Cleaning: For specific spills or stubborn stains, use mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the UV resistance.
Debris Removal: Regularly remove leaves, twigs, and other debris to prevent accumulation and ensure proper drainage.
