FAQs
How long does this artificial grass typically last?
With proper installation and care, this artificial grass is designed to last for many years, typically 8-15 years, depending on usage and environmental conditions.
Can pets use the artificial grass?
Yes, this artificial grass is pet-friendly. It is durable and easy to clean. Liquids drain through, and solid waste can be picked up and the area hosed down if necessary.
Is the artificial grass safe for children?
Yes, it provides a soft, comfortable, and non-toxic surface for children to play on, remaining free from mud and grass stains.
What maintenance is required annually?
Annual maintenance typically involves a thorough cleaning with a hose, removing any accumulated debris, and brushing the pile to keep it upright and looking its best.
Will the color fade in the sun?
This artificial grass is manufactured with UV-resistant materials to significantly minimize color fading from sun exposure, ensuring it stays green year-round.
Can I install this on a hard surface like concrete?
Yes, it can be installed on hard surfaces. However, ensure the surface has adequate slope for drainage, or consider a thin layer of shock-pad underlayment for added comfort and drainage assistance.
Troubleshooting
Artificial grass is not draining properly.
Ensure an adequate sub-base of crushed stone has been installed and is properly compacted to allow water to percolate through. Check for any blockages in drainage channels around the perimeter.
The pile is flattening or looking worn.
Brush the grass with a stiff-bristled broom in the opposite direction of the pile. For heavily used areas, consider applying a light layer of infill.
Weeds are growing through the grass.
Remove weeds manually as soon as they appear. Ensure a weed membrane was installed correctly during the initial setup, beneath the sub-base.
Surface feels too hot in direct sun.
Consider installing a lighter-colored infill material or watering the surface lightly during peak heat. Planting nearby trees or shrubs can also provide shade.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Base Layer: Install a compacted layer of crushed stone or aggregate for drainage and stability. A layer of sand can be added on top.
- Laying the Turf: Unroll the artificial grass and allow it to relax in the sun for a few hours to remove creases. Cut to size using a sharp utility knife.
- Securing: Secure the edges with landscaping spikes or adhesive, depending on the installation area and manufacturer's recommendations.
- Infill (Optional): Apply a layer of infill (e.g., sand or specialised granules) to help the blades stand upright and provide stability.

Care:
- Cleaning: Rinse with a hose periodically to remove dust and debris. For stubborn stains, use a mild detergent and water solution with a soft brush.
- Debris Removal: Sweep or blow leaves and other debris off the surface.
- Weed Control: Although designed to prevent weeds, occasional growth may occur around the edges. Remove manually.
- Pile Maintenance: Brush the grass occasionally with a stiff-bristled broom in the opposite direction of the pile to maintain its appearance.
