FAQs
Does artificial grass get hot in the sun?
Yes, artificial grass can become warm to the touch in direct sunlight, similar to natural grass or patio surfaces. Light-colored infill and proper ventilation can help mitigate heat absorption.
How long does Ark Mat artificial grass last?
With proper installation and care, Ark Mat artificial grass is designed to last for many years, typically 10-15 years or more, retaining its color and structure.
Can I install this myself?
Yes, DIY installation is possible for smaller areas. However, for larger or more complex installations, professional installation is recommended to ensure optimal results and drainage.
Is it safe for pets?
Yes, Ark Mat artificial grass is safe for pets. Its durable surface is easy to clean, and liquids typically drain through the base, reducing odor and mess.
Do I need to water artificial grass?
No, artificial grass does not require watering for maintenance. You may occasionally rinse it with a hose to clean it, but this is not for its survival or appearance.
How do I clean spills or stains?
For most spills, rinsing with water is sufficient. For tougher stains, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by rinsing.
Troubleshooting
Uneven surface after installation
Ensure the base material was properly leveled and compacted before laying the turf. Adjustments may require lifting and re-securing the turf.
Water pooling on the surface
Verify that the sub-base has adequate drainage. The ground beneath the turf should slope slightly away from buildings, and the sub-base material should be permeable.
Debris accumulation
Regularly sweep the artificial grass with a stiff brush or rake to remove leaves, dirt, and other debris. A leaf blower can also be effective for lighter debris.
Fibers becoming matted
Use a stiff brush or rake to gently brush the fibers in the opposite direction. This is more common in high-traffic areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. This typically involves preparing a level base, laying down a sub-base material (like crushed stone or sand) for drainage, and securing the turf. Edging and infill may also be necessary depending on the application.
Compatibility: This artificial grass is compatible with most garden settings and can be used on various surfaces, including soil, concrete, or existing patios. Ensure the underlying surface allows for adequate drainage.
Care: Maintaining the Ark Mat 25mm Artificial Grass is straightforward. Regularly sweep or brush the turf to remove debris like leaves and dirt and to keep the pile upright. For deeper cleaning, a hose can be used to rinse the surface. Occasional brushing with a stiff broom can help maintain the direction of the fibers and prevent matting.
