Is the artificial grass safe for pets?
Yes, the artificial grass is designed to be durable and comfortable for pets. It's easy to clean up after pets, and liquids drain through efficiently.
Will the grass fade in direct sunlight?
The artificial grass is manufactured with UV resistance to help maintain its color and prevent fading from prolonged sun exposure.
What is the pile height of this artificial grass?
This artificial grass has a pile height of 25mm.
Does it get too hot in summer?
Like most artificial surfaces, it can become warm in direct sunlight during hot weather. Choosing a lighter color and ensuring proper ventilation can help mitigate this.
How long does this artificial grass typically last?

Can I install this myself?
Yes, DIY installation is possible if you follow the recommended steps for sub-base preparation and securing the turf. However, professional installation ensures optimal results, especially regarding drainage.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling on the surface
Ensure the sub-base has adequate drainage and the ground slopes slightly away from structures.
Grass looking flattened or matted
Brush the pile with a stiff-bristled broom or rake in the opposite direction of the pile to restore its loft.
Debris or leaves accumulating
Use a leaf blower on a low setting or a stiff brush to remove fallen leaves and other light debris.
Odors from pet waste
Rinse the affected area thoroughly with water. Specialized artificial grass cleaners can also be used for stubborn odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Proper installation is key. Ensure a well-drained sub-base is prepared, typically consisting of compacted aggregate. Lay the artificial grass, trim to fit using a sharp utility knife, and secure the edges. For best results, use appropriate landscaping staples or adhesive. Ensure the pile direction is consistent across all sections.
Compatibility: Suitable for installation over various surfaces, including soil, concrete, and existing patios, provided proper sub-base preparation and drainage are established.
Care: Minimal care is required. Sweep or brush occasionally to keep the pile upright and remove debris. Rinse with water if necessary to clean off spills or pet waste. In areas with heavy leaf fall, a leaf blower can be used on a low setting.
