FAQs

How do I clean pet waste from the artificial grass?

Solid pet waste should be removed promptly. The area should then be rinsed thoroughly with water. For any lingering odours or stubborn spots, an artificial grass cleaner (sold separately) designed for pet messes can be used.

Can I install this artificial grass myself?

Yes, this artificial grass is designed for DIY installation. A key benefit is its no-sand infill requirement, which simplifies the process. It can also be easily cut to fit various shapes, making it suitable for home projects.

Will the artificial grass fade in direct sunlight?

No, this artificial grass is UV resistant. This means it has been treated to withstand exposure to sunlight without fading, helping it maintain its vibrant green colour over time.

Is this artificial grass safe for children and pets?

Absolutely. The grass is made from non-toxic materials, ensuring it provides a safe, clean, and durable surface for both children and pets to play on and enjoy.

Does this artificial grass require sand infill for installation?

No, a significant advantage of this product is that it does not require sand infill. This streamlines the installation process and reduces the overall effort and materials needed for setup.

How do I cut the artificial grass to fit my specific area?

You can easily cut the artificial grass to your desired size and shape using a sharp utility knife. It's generally best to cut from the backing side for cleaner, more precise edges.

What is the expected lifespan of this 7mm artificial grass?

Info needed: [Specific lifespan information is not provided in the product description. The durability can vary based on usage and maintenance.]

Troubleshooting

Grass appears flattened or matted, losing its upright look.

This is often due to heavy foot traffic or prolonged pressure. Use a stiff-bristled broom or a specialised artificial grass brush to gently brush the blades against the direction of the pile. This will help them stand upright again, restoring the natural appearance.

Poor drainage or puddles form on the grass after rain.

Check the underlying base. Ensure it was properly prepared, level, and compacted to allow for effective water runoff. Also, inspect the grass backing for any blockages from debris that might be hindering drainage. If the issue persists, the base may need re-evaluation.

Visible seams between artificial grass rolls.

When installing, ensure all rolls are laid with the pile facing the exact same direction. Incorrect alignment can make seams more apparent. For securing, use appropriate artificial grass joining tape and adhesive (if applicable) for a strong, nearly invisible bond. If already installed, try carefully re-adjusting edges and ensuring proper adhesion.

Unpleasant odours, especially from pet use.

For pet waste, remove solid waste immediately and rinse the area thoroughly with water. For lingering odours, use an enzymatic artificial grass cleaner (sold separately) specifically designed to neutralise pet odours. Ensure adequate drainage to prevent stagnant moisture which can contribute to smells.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Year-Round Green: Provides a consistently lush, green lawn in all seasons.
  • Reduced Upkeep: Eliminates the need for mowing, watering, and fertilising.
  • Safe for Families: Non-toxic, child and pet friendly for peace of mind.
  • Excellent Drainage: Water-permeable backing prevents puddles and keeps the surface dry.
  • Fade Resistant: UV treatment ensures the colour remains vibrant over time.
  • Simplified Installation: No sand infill speeds up the setup process, and it's easy to cut.

Cons

  • Budget Thickness: At 7mm, it may not feel as soft or luxurious as thicker, premium artificial grasses.
  • Specific Cleaner Needed: Requires artificial grass cleaner (sold separately) for optimal maintenance and stain removal.
  • Initial Setup Effort: While DIY-friendly, proper base preparation and installation still require time and effort.
  • Can Retain Heat: Like most artificial grass, it may become warm to the touch in direct, intense sunlight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Ensure the area is cleared of debris, weeds, and old turf. Create a stable, level, and well-draining sub-base (e.g., compacted aggregate or sharp sand). This step is crucial for good drainage and a smooth finish.
  2. Unroll the Grass: Carefully unroll the artificial grass, making sure all rolls are laid with the pile (grass blades) facing in the same direction. This ensures a consistent look.
  3. Trim to Fit: Use a sharp utility knife to cut the grass from the backing side to match the contours of your area, including around obstacles or edges. This product can be easily cut to fit complex shapes.
  4. Join Sections (if applicable): If using multiple rolls, butt the edges neatly together. While `no-sand infill` is required, you may need to use specialised artificial grass joining tape and adhesive (sold separately) to secure seams invisibly.
  5. Secure Edges: Anchor the perimeter of the grass using galvanised nails or artificial grass adhesive to prevent movement.

Compatibility

This artificial grass is highly versatile and compatible with various outdoor settings, including:

  • Gardens and lawns of all sizes.
  • Patios, balconies, and rooftop terraces.
  • Children's play areas.
  • Pet enclosures or dedicated pet relief zones.
  • Around swimming pools or decking areas.

It is suitable for DIY installation over a properly prepared and drained base.

Care & Maintenance

  • Regular Rinsing: Periodically rinse the grass with water to remove dust, dirt, and light debris. This is often sufficient for general cleaning.
  • Debris Removal: Remove leaves, twigs, and other organic matter regularly using a leaf blower, stiff broom, or plastic rake to prevent decomposition and potential moss growth.
  • Spot Cleaning: For tougher stains or pet messes, use an artificial grass cleaner (sold separately). Follow the product instructions for application and rinsing.
  • Brushing: To maintain the upright position of the C-shaped blades and restore the 'bounce-back' effect, periodically brush the grass against the direction of the pile using a stiff-bristled broom or a specialised artificial grass brush.
  • Avoid Heavy Objects: While durable, avoid placing extremely heavy or sharp objects on the grass for extended periods to prevent permanent indentations.
