FAQs
How long does artificial grass typically last?
With proper installation and care, this artificial grass is designed to last for many years, often 8-15 years or more, maintaining its colour and structure.
Is artificial grass safe for children and pets?
Yes, this artificial grass provides a safe, non-toxic, and durable surface for children and pets. It's also easy to clean.
Do I need to water artificial grass?
No, watering is not required for the maintenance of the grass itself. You may occasionally rinse it to clean it or cool it down on hot days.
Will the colour fade in the sun?
This artificial grass is manufactured with UV-resistant materials to help prevent significant colour fading from sun exposure.
How is artificial grass installed?
Installation involves preparing a level sub-base, laying a weed membrane, rolling out the grass, securing edges, and brushing the pile. Professional installation services are often available.
Can I install artificial grass over an existing lawn?
Yes, you can install it over an existing lawn, but the grass and thatch must be removed, and a proper sub-base prepared for drainage and stability.
What is the pile height of this grass?
The pile height for this specific product is 25mm.
Troubleshooting
Grass pile flattening or matting
Brush the grass pile against the grain using a stiff broom or powered brush. Ensure no heavy objects are left on the surface for extended periods.
Weeds growing through seams or edges
Ensure a quality weed membrane was installed correctly during setup. Carefully remove any weeds manually and check the integrity of the installation edges.
Water pooling on the surface
Check that the sub-base has adequate drainage. The artificial grass itself has drainage holes, but poor sub-base preparation can lead to waterlogging.
Grass becoming too hot in direct sun
Watering the grass lightly can help cool it down. Consider planting nearby trees or shrubs to provide partial shade during the hottest parts of the day.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Proper installation is key to the longevity and appearance of your artificial grass. It typically involves preparing a level base (often with crushed stone and sand), laying down a weed membrane, and then rolling out the grass. Edges should be secured, and the turf may require brushing to set the pile.
Compatibility:
This artificial grass is designed for outdoor use on various surfaces, including soil, existing lawns (after preparation), concrete, or decking. Ensure good drainage beneath the installation area to prevent water pooling.
Care:
- Regular Brushing: Periodically brush the grass pile against the grain to keep it standing upright and looking natural. Use a stiff-bristled broom or a powered garden brush.
- Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, a simple rinse with a hose is often sufficient. For spills or stains, use mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Debris Removal: Sweep or blow away leaves, twigs, and other debris to maintain appearance and prevent buildup.
- Snow Removal: Light snow can often be brushed away. For heavier snow, allow it to melt naturally.
