FAQs
How long does artificial grass last?
With proper installation and maintenance, high-quality artificial grass like this can last between 10 to 20 years.
Is artificial grass safe for children and pets?
Yes, this artificial grass is designed to be durable and safe for children and pets. It provides a clean, non-toxic surface free from mud and pests commonly associated with natural grass.
Will the grass fade in the sun?
This artificial grass is manufactured with UV-resistant materials to help prevent fading and maintain its colour even with prolonged sun exposure.
Does artificial grass get hot?
Like any surface exposed to direct sunlight, artificial grass can become warm. The 25mm pile height and material contribute to moderate heat retention. Light-coloured infill or regular rinsing with water can help keep the surface cooler.
Can I install this artificial grass myself?
Yes, DIY installation is possible for those comfortable with landscaping and ground preparation. However, professional installation is recommended for best results, particularly regarding sub-base preparation and drainage.
How do I clean pet waste from the artificial grass?
Solid waste should be picked up promptly. Liquid waste can be rinsed away with a hose. For tougher stains or odors, a mild soap and water solution or a specialized artificial grass cleaner can be used, followed by a thorough rinse.
Troubleshooting
Uneven surface or sinking in areas
This usually indicates an issue with the sub-base preparation. The area may need to be re-leveled and the sub-base compacted and adjusted.
Water pooling after rain
Check the drainage of the sub-base. Ensure there is a sufficient gradient and that the drainage aggregate is not compacted or blocked.
Debris or pet waste left on the surface
Remove solid waste promptly. For lingering odors or stains, use a specialized artificial grass cleaner or a mild soap and water solution, followed by a thorough rinse.
Fraying or damage to the backing
Inspect the backing for tears. Small tears can sometimes be repaired with a strong, flexible adhesive suitable for outdoor use and artificial turf. For significant damage, replacement of the section may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Proper installation is crucial for the longevity and appearance of your artificial grass. This typically involves preparing the sub-base with a layer of aggregate for drainage, followed by a layer of sand. The grass is then laid out, trimmed to fit, and secured around the edges. For optimal results and drainage, professional installation is often recommended.
Compatibility: This artificial grass is suitable for a wide range of outdoor surfaces. It can be installed directly onto prepared soil, concrete, or existing patio areas. Ensure the base layer allows for adequate drainage to prevent water pooling.
Care: While low-maintenance, occasional care will keep your artificial grass looking its best.
- Regular Sweeping: Sweep away leaves, twigs, and other debris.
- Rinsing: Periodically rinse the grass with water, especially after a dry spell, to wash away dust and keep it fresh.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills or stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly afterward.
- Weed Control: Ensure the base layer is properly installed to prevent weed growth. If weeds do appear, remove them manually.
