FAQs
How do I clean pet waste from the artificial grass?
Solid waste can be picked up as usual. Liquid waste can be rinsed with water. For odor control, a mild detergent solution or a specialized pet-friendly cleaner can be used, followed by rinsing.
Will the artificial grass get too hot in the summer?
Artificial grass can get hotter than natural grass in direct sunlight. Using a lighter color infill like sand can help moderate temperature. Rinsing the grass with water can also temporarily cool it down.
How long does this artificial grass typically last?
With proper installation and maintenance, Ark Mat artificial grass is designed to last for many years, typically 10-15 years or more, depending on usage and environmental factors.
Can I install this on a hard surface like concrete?
Yes, installation on concrete is possible. Ensure the concrete is clean and level. You may need to use an adhesive specifically designed for artificial turf installation on hard surfaces.
What is the warranty period for this artificial grass?
Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for specific warranty details, as these can vary.
Does the grass come in different widths or lengths?
This product is available as listed. Please check the product listing for available roll sizes or custom cutting options.
Troubleshooting
Artificial grass not draining properly
Ensure the base layer is adequately sloped for drainage and that the sub-base material is appropriate (e.g., crushed stone). Check for any blockages in drainage channels.
Pile flattening or matting
Brush the grass pile regularly with a stiff brush or rake, moving against the direction of the pile to lift and restore its texture.
Weeds growing through seams or edges
Ensure the base preparation included a weed membrane. Seal seams thoroughly and check for any gaps where weeds might emerge. Remove any weeds promptly by hand.
Discoloration or fading
While designed for UV resistance, prolonged direct exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme heat can affect color. Ensure the product is properly installed and avoid spilling staining agents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare the base: Excavate the area to a suitable depth, typically 2-4 inches, and fill with a layer of crushed stone or aggregate for drainage. Compact the base thoroughly.
- Lay the turf: Unroll the artificial grass and allow it to rest in the sun for a few hours to relax. Cut to size using a sharp utility knife, ensuring clean edges.
- Secure the edges: Use landscape staples or adhesive along the perimeter to anchor the turf firmly.
- Add infill (optional but recommended): Spread a layer of sand or specialized infill and brush it into the pile to help keep the blades upright and improve drainage.
Compatibility:
This artificial grass is compatible with most garden subfloors, including soil, sand, and concrete. Ensure adequate drainage is established for soil or sand bases.
Care:
- Cleaning: Sweep or rinse with a hose to remove dust and debris. For stubborn stains, use mild soap and water.
- Brushing: Periodically brush the grass pile against the grain to maintain its upright appearance and prevent matting.
- Debris Removal: Regularly remove leaves, twigs, and other organic matter to prevent build-up and potential weed growth.
- Snow: Light snow can be left to melt naturally. Heavy snow may require careful removal to avoid damaging the turf.
