FAQs
How do I clean the artificial grass?
For general cleaning, use a stiff brush or a leaf blower to remove debris. For tougher stains or spills, use water and a mild soap solution, scrub gently with a brush, and rinse thoroughly. Ensure the area drains well afterward.
Is this artificial grass suitable for pets?
Yes, the durable and low-maintenance nature of this artificial grass makes it ideal for pets. It is easy to clean, and liquids drain through, reducing odors. Ensure the sub-base provides adequate drainage.
Will the artificial grass get too hot in the sun?
Like most artificial surfaces, it can become warmer than natural grass in direct sunlight. Using a lighter color, ensuring good airflow, and watering it lightly can help reduce the surface temperature.
What is the pile height of this artificial grass?
The pile height is 25mm, offering a good balance of realism and comfort for various applications.
Do I need to water artificial grass?
No, artificial grass does not require watering for maintenance. You may choose to lightly rinse it occasionally to clean it or cool it down on hot days.
How long does artificial grass last?
With proper installation and care, Ark Mat artificial grass is designed to last for many years, typically 8-15 years or more, depending on usage and environmental conditions.
Can I install this myself?
Yes, DIY installation is possible with careful attention to sub-base preparation and seaming techniques. Many online guides and tutorials are available. For larger areas or specific requirements, professional installation is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Artificial grass appears uneven or has wrinkles.
This usually indicates an issue with the sub-base preparation or installation. Ensure the base is level and compacted. Wrinkles may need to be stretched out and re-secured during installation with appropriate adhesive.
Water pooling on the surface.
Poor drainage is the likely cause. Ensure the sub-base is adequately sloped and that the base material allows for water percolation. Check that drainage channels are not blocked.
Fading color or matting pile.
While designed for durability, excessive direct UV exposure over many years might contribute to fading. Matting can often be resolved by brushing the pile against its natural direction.
Debris accumulation.
Regularly sweep or use a leaf blower to remove leaves, twigs, and other surface debris. For more stubborn dirt, use water and a mild detergent, followed by rinsing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Refer to manufacturer guidelines for specific installation steps.
Compatibility: This artificial grass is compatible with most standard sub-bases like soil, gravel, or concrete. It's suitable for a wide range of domestic and commercial applications.
Care::

- Maintenance: Periodically brush the pile against the grain to keep it standing upright and looking its best. Address any wrinkles or lifting promptly during the installation phase.
