FAQs
How do I clean the artificial grass?
For general cleaning, sweep the surface with a stiff brush to remove debris. For spills, rinse with water and a mild detergent, then rinse again with clean water. Stubborn stains can be treated with a diluted soap solution.
Is the artificial grass safe for pets?
Yes, it is designed to be durable and easy to clean, making it a practical choice for pet owners. Pet waste can be picked up, and the area can be rinsed with water.
Will the artificial grass fade in the sun?
This premium artificial grass is manufactured with UV-resistant materials to help prevent fading and maintain its vibrant color over time when exposed to sunlight.
What is the pile height and why is 25mm significant?
The pile height is 25mm, which offers a good balance between a natural look and comfortable feel underfoot. It's substantial enough to provide a lush appearance without being excessively long, which can sometimes lead to matting.
Do I need to water the artificial grass?
No, artificial grass does not require watering for maintenance. You may occasionally rinse it to clean it, but this is separate from the watering needs of natural turf.
Can I install this artificial grass on a balcony or patio?
Yes, it can be installed on hard surfaces like balconies or patios, provided there is adequate drainage. Ensure the surface is clean and level before installation.
Troubleshooting
Grass appears flattened or matted in areas
Gently brush the affected areas with a stiff brush in the opposite direction of the pile to lift the fibers.
Debris accumulation
Sweep the surface regularly with a stiff brush or use a leaf blower on a low setting to remove leaves, twigs, and other loose debris.
Weeds growing through seams or edges
Ensure a high-quality weed membrane was installed correctly during setup. Hand-pull any small weeds that appear and check the integrity of the seams and edges.
Water pooling after rain
Verify that the sub-base has adequate drainage. If issues persist, the sub-base may need to be re-leveled or drainage improved.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This artificial grass is suitable for a variety of ground surfaces, including soil, concrete, and decking. Ensure the underlying surface is well-draining to prevent water pooling.
Care: Minimal care is required. Sweep occasionally to remove debris and restore the pile's direction. For spills or stains, a gentle wash with water and mild soap is usually sufficient. Use a stiff brush to lift matted areas if needed.
