FAQs
How durable is the 25mm pile height?
The 25mm pile height is suitable for moderate foot traffic and general use. It's designed to be durable and maintain its appearance over time with proper care.
Can I install this artificial grass myself?
Yes, with careful preparation of the base and following installation guidelines, DIY installation is possible. Ensure the ground is level and properly prepared for best results.
Is it safe for children and pets?
Yes, this artificial grass is designed to be safe and provides a soft, comfortable surface. It's often preferred for play areas and pet zones due to its durability and ease of cleaning.
How often does it need cleaning?
Regular maintenance involves sweeping away debris as needed. A deeper clean with water can be done periodically or when the surface becomes soiled. For pet areas, more frequent cleaning might be beneficial.
Will it fade in direct sunlight?
The artificial grass is manufactured with UV resistance to help prevent fading. However, prolonged exposure to intense sunlight over many years may eventually cause some color change.
What is the expected lifespan of the artificial grass?
With proper installation and maintenance, artificial grass can last for many years, typically 8-15 years or more, depending on usage and environmental conditions.
Troubleshooting
Grass blades are flattened or not standing upright.
Brush the turf with a stiff brush or rake against the grain. Ensure a sand infill has been applied, as this helps support the blades.
Water pooling on the surface.
Check that the base layer beneath the turf has adequate drainage. Ensure there are no blockages in the drainage channels or the sub-base.
Odors from pet use.
Rinse the affected area thoroughly with a hose and apply a specialized artificial grass cleaner designed for pet odors. Ensure good drainage to prevent lingering moisture.
Debris accumulation (leaves, twigs).
Regularly sweep or use a leaf blower to remove loose debris. For stuck-on dirt, a gentle rinse with water may be sufficient.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the base layer is well-compacted and level. Roll out the artificial grass, allowing it to relax in the sun for a few hours before trimming edges with a sharp utility knife. Secure the edges using appropriate fixings (e.g., ground stakes or adhesive, depending on the sub-base) to prevent lifting. For best results, fill the turf with a layer of sand to help the blades stand upright and improve drainage.
Compatibility: This artificial grass is suitable for most ground types when a proper sub-base is prepared. It is compatible with underfloor heating systems, provided installation guidelines for both are followed.
Care: Regular maintenance involves sweeping or blowing away leaves and debris. For deeper cleaning, a hose can be used to rinse the surface. Spot clean any spills promptly. In areas with pets, a specific pet-friendly cleaner may be used. Periodically brush the pile against the grain to maintain its upright appearance.
