FAQs
How long does this artificial grass last?
With proper care and installation, this premium artificial grass is designed to last for many years, typically 8-15 years or more, depending on usage and environmental conditions.
Is the 25mm pile height suitable for pets?
Yes, the 25mm pile height provides a durable and cleanable surface suitable for pets. Its density helps contain pet waste, and it can be easily rinsed and disinfected.
Do I need to water artificial grass?
No, artificial grass does not require watering. You may occasionally rinse it with a hose to clean it, but this is for maintenance, not for survival.
Can I install this myself?
Yes, DIY installation is possible with careful preparation of the base and following the setup instructions. For larger areas or complex shapes, professional installation might be considered.
What happens to weeds with artificial grass?
A properly prepared base with a weed membrane underneath will significantly prevent weed growth. Any weeds that do emerge can be pulled by hand or treated with a weed killer.
How does artificial grass handle heavy rainfall?
The grass is designed with drainage in mind. When installed on a properly prepared base with good drainage, it allows water to pass through effectively.
Does the color fade over time?
This artificial grass is manufactured with UV-resistant materials to minimize color fading caused by sun exposure, ensuring it remains vibrant for an extended period.
Troubleshooting
Grass appears flattened or creased after unrolling.
Allow the grass to sit in direct sunlight for several hours to help it relax and flatten out. Brush the pile in the opposite direction of the creases.
Water pooling on the surface.
Ensure the ground base has adequate drainage. If installed on a solid surface like concrete, verify the concrete itself is sloped for drainage. Additional drainage channels may be needed.
Debris is difficult to remove.
Use a stiff brush or a leaf blower. For embedded debris, a combination of water and a mild detergent may be effective, followed by rinsing.
Grass feels excessively hot in direct sun.
This is common for artificial turf. Consider planting nearby shade trees or using a sprinkler to cool the surface on very hot days.
