FAQs
How long does this artificial grass last?
With proper installation and care, this artificial grass is designed to last for many years, typically 8-10 years or more, retaining its color and structure.
Is the 25mm pile height suitable for pets?
Yes, the 25mm pile height is suitable for pets. It provides a comfortable surface and is easy to clean. Ensure thorough rinsing after pet use to maintain hygiene.
Do I need to water artificial grass?
No, artificial grass does not require watering for maintenance. You may rinse it with water occasionally to clean it from dust or debris.
Can I install this artificial grass myself?
Yes, it is possible to install it yourself with careful attention to base preparation and securing. However, for large areas or a more professional finish, professional installation is recommended.
Will the green color fade in the sun?
This artificial grass is manufactured with UV-resistant materials to help prevent fading and maintain its green color over time, even with prolonged sun exposure.
How do I deal with leaves or debris on the grass?
Leaves and debris can be easily removed by sweeping, raking with a soft brush, or using a leaf blower. For larger areas, a simple rinse with a hose can also be effective.
What is the benefit of the 25mm pile height?
The 25mm pile height offers a good balance between a realistic, natural appearance and a comfortable, soft feel underfoot. It’s less prone to flattening than shorter piles and provides more cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Artificial grass is flattening or becoming matted.
Brush the grass pile regularly against the grain to lift the fibers. Ensure proper infill has been applied and topped up if necessary.
Standing water or poor drainage.
Check that the sub-base is adequately sloped for drainage and that the infill layer is not compacted. Ensure no obstructions are blocking drainage channels.
Weeds growing through the turf.
Ensure a weed-membranes was installed during setup. If weeds appear, pull them manually and consider applying a lawn-safe weed killer to the surrounding area.
Odors, especially from pet use.
Rinse the affected area thoroughly with water. Use a specialized artificial grass cleaner or a diluted solution of white vinegar and water, then rinse again.
Creases or wrinkles after unrolling.
Allow the grass to relax in direct sunlight for several hours before cutting and securing. Gently stretch and tack down edges to smooth out minor imperfections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare the Base: Ensure a well-drained sub-base, typically crushed stone or aggregate, compacted firmly.
- Lay the Turf: Unroll the artificial grass and allow it to relax in the sun for a few hours to remove creases.
- Cut to Size: Use a sharp utility knife to trim edges and shape around obstacles.
- Secure Edges: Anchor the edges using stakes or adhesive to prevent lifting.
- Infill (Optional but Recommended): Apply a layer of kiln-dried sand or specialized infill to help the blades stand upright and improve drainage.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for gardens, patios, balconies, and play areas.
- Can be installed over existing hard surfaces like concrete or paving, provided proper drainage is accounted for.
Care:
- Regular Brushing: Brush against the pile direction periodically to keep it upright.
- Cleaning: Rinse with water from a hose to remove dust and debris. For stubborn stains, use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly.
- Debris Removal: Sweep or blow away leaves and other organic matter to prevent them from settling into the pile.
