FAQs

Is sand infill required for this artificial grass?

No, this 7mm artificial grass is designed to be installed without the need for sand infill. This simplifies the installation process and reduces ongoing maintenance.

How do I clean the artificial grass?

For general cleaning, simply hose down the grass to remove dirt and debris. For more persistent stains or pet waste, you can use a mild soap solution and a brush, followed by a thorough rinse with water.

Will the color of the grass fade over time?

No, this artificial grass features UV resistance, which ensures that its vibrant green color will remain consistent and bright year-round without discolouring due to sun exposure.

Can this artificial grass be installed indoors?

Yes, this versatile artificial grass is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. It can be installed on various surface types within your home or other indoor spaces.

Is this artificial grass safe for children and pets?

Absolutely. The excellent drainage design prevents water from pooling and eliminates mud, making it a clean and safe surface for children and pets to play on without the fuss associated with natural grass.

What tools are needed for installation?

For installation, you will primarily need a sharp blade to cut the grass to your desired shape and size, and specific tape and adhesive to create seamless joints between sections.

How long can I expect this artificial grass to last?

This artificial grass is a cost-effective investment designed to keep your garden or landscape looking lively for many years to come, thanks to its durable construction and UV resistance.

Troubleshooting

Water pooling on the surface after rain.

Ensure the underlying base is adequately prepared with proper drainage. Check for any obstructions or compacted areas beneath the grass that might be preventing water from reaching the drainage holes in the backing. Lightly brush the grass to ensure blades aren't matted down, which can impede surface flow.

Grass blades appear flat or matted down, especially in high-traffic areas.

Use a stiff-bristled broom or a purpose-built artificial grass brush and brush against the grain or pile of the grass. This will help the blades stand upright again, restoring its natural look. Regular brushing can prevent severe matting.

Seams between different sections of grass are visible.

During installation, ensure that the edges of the artificial grass sections are tightly butted together without overlapping. Re-examine your use of jointing tape and adhesive; apply it evenly and ensure strong adhesion across the entire seam area. Allow adequate curing time for the adhesive.

Persistent dirt or pet waste residue despite hosing.

After hosing down, for more stubborn areas, use a mild, diluted soap or detergent solution (e.g., dish soap) with water. Gently scrub the affected area with a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap residue. Ensure all pet waste is removed promptly.

Grass color seems dull or dusty.

Regularly hose down the grass to remove accumulated dust, pollen, and debris. While the grass is UV resistant against fading, surface dirt can diminish its vibrant appearance. Occasional brushing after hosing can also help restore its luster.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Cost-Effective Investment: Provides a lively garden aesthetic for years without high recurring costs.
  • Minimal Upkeep: Frees up time by eliminating regular mowing, watering, and weeding.
  • Year-Round Vibrancy: UV resistance ensures the green color remains consistent and bright.
  • Mud-Free Environment: Excellent drainage keeps the surface dry, ideal for pets and children.
  • Simple Installation: User-friendly fitting process suitable for various landscaping areas.
  • Highly Versatile: Can be installed in diverse settings, both indoors and outdoors, on multiple surfaces.

Cons

  • Introductory Thickness: As a 7mm pile, it is a budget option and may not offer the plush feel of thicker artificial grasses.
  • Requires Occasional Cleaning: While low maintenance, it does benefit from periodic hosing and brushing to maintain its pristine look.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Installing your 7mm Artificial Grass is designed to be straightforward:

  1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the area is clean, level, and well-drained. Remove any debris, rocks, or existing vegetation.
  2. Unroll the Grass: Carefully unroll the artificial grass over your prepared area.
  3. Cut to Size: Using a sharp blade, precisely cut the grass to fit the desired shape and dimensions of your space. It's recommended to cut from the backing side for cleaner lines.
  4. Join Sections: If multiple pieces are needed, butt the edges of the grass together closely. Use tape and adhesive specifically designed for artificial grass to create seamless, strong joints beneath the seams.
  5. Secure Edges: Depending on the application, you may need to secure the perimeter using U-pins or by gluing the edges down to a perimeter board.
  6. Brush Up: After installation, lightly brush the grass against the pile to help the blades stand up and achieve a natural look.

> Note: This artificial grass does not require sand infill.

Compatibility

This artificial grass is highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of environments:

  • Outdoor Spaces: Ideal for gardens, patios, balconies, rooftops, and pathways.
  • Indoor Spaces: Can be used in conservatories, playrooms, exhibition stands, or even as a decorative element.
  • Surface Types: Suitable for installation over soil, concrete, decking, and paving, provided the surface is properly prepared and level.

Care

Maintaining the fresh and new look of your 7mm Artificial Grass is simple:

  • Regular Cleaning: Occasionally hose down the grass to remove dust, dirt, or pet waste.
  • Brushing: Use a stiff brush (e.g., a broom with synthetic bristles) to brush against the pile periodically. This helps the blades stand upright and prevents matting, especially in high-traffic areas.
  • Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, use a mild detergent solution and water, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • UV Protection: The grass is inherently UV resistant, meaning it will maintain its vibrant green color without fading due to sun exposure.
