Troubleshooting
Grass appears flattened or matted in high-traffic areas.
Regularly brush the grass against the pile (the direction the blades naturally lean) using a stiff-bristled broom or artificial grass brush. This helps the fibers stand upright again and restores the grass's appearance. Hosing down the area before brushing can also assist.
Water is pooling on the surface after rain.
While the grass has excellent drainage, water pooling usually indicates an issue with the underlying base. Ensure the sub-base (if outdoors) is properly prepared with adequate compaction and drainage layers. Check that the grass's own drainage holes are not obstructed by heavy debris. Lightly brush the surface to clear any surface blockages.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
Prepare the Base: Ensure the ground or surface where the artificial grass will be laid is level, compact, and has adequate drainage. For outdoor installations, a proper sub-base (e.g., compacted hardcore and sharp sand) is recommended to prevent subsidence and aid drainage.
Unroll the Grass: Carefully unroll the artificial grass over the prepared area. Allow it to settle for a few hours or even a day, especially in warm weather, to help reduce any ripples from packaging.
Trim to Size: Using a sharp blade (like a utility knife or Stanley knife), carefully cut the grass to fit the desired shape and size of your area. Always cut from the backing side for cleaner lines.
Join Seams: If installing multiple pieces, butt the edges together precisely. Use specialized artificial grass joining tape and adhesive underneath the seams to create a seamless, strong bond. Ensure the adhesive is applied evenly and the seams are pressed firmly together.
Secure Edges (Optional): For a more permanent installation, you may secure the perimeter with landscape pins or adhesive, especially in high-traffic areas or on slopes.

Care
Regular Cleaning: For general cleanliness, hose down the grass periodically to remove dust, pollen, and light debris. This helps keep it looking fresh and new.
Debris Removal: For larger debris like leaves or twigs, use a stiff brush (non-metallic) or a leaf blower. Avoid using wire brushes as they can damage the fibers.
Brush Up Pile: Over time, heavy foot traffic may cause the grass blades to flatten. Brush the grass against the natural pile (the direction the blades lean) using a stiff brush to help the fibers stand upright again.
Stain Removal: For spills or stains, promptly clean with mild soap and water. For pet waste, remove solids and then rinse the area thoroughly with water.
No Chemicals: Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the grass fibers or cause discolouration.
