## Faqs

Is artificial grass pet-friendly?

Yes, artificial grass is pet friendly. It is also non-abrasive to the skin, easy to clean and doesnt attract insects and remains odourless.

What should I do to maintain artificial grass?

To maintain artificial grass well, it is advisable to regularly remove debris like leaves and branches and not let it accumulate over time. You need to brush the fibers to keep them upright when needed, rinse it to remove dirt and clean up spills or pet waste promptly. Occasional deep cleaning with any anti-dandruff shampoo can also help keep it fresh and hygienic.

What are the advantages of artificial grass?

Artificial grass offers numerous advantages, including low maintenance, more usage, and, while appearing lush throughout the year, it is all-weather resistant and has no need for watering, mowing or fertilizing. It is eco-friendly as it reduces water consumption and eliminates the use of harmful pesticides. It makes the area fire retardant as well when sand dressed. Make sure that the artificial grass that you are using is free from heavy metal and is EN71-3* certified (safe as a toy).

Can you use artificial grass as a driveway?

Though artificial grass may be used for a driveway, it is not the ideal solution. Artificial grass will tend to become flat as it cannot withstand the heavy weight and friction of vehicles over a period of time. Further, vehicles are known for oil spills and this can also take away from the feel and lustre of the turf, not to mention tyre marks and damage owing to tyres being steeply turned on the artificial grass. However, it can be used decoratively alongside a driveway to enhance its aesthetic appeal.

Are there any disadvantages of artificial grass?

Procuring cheap quality artificial turf, especially those using sub-par polymers and low-grade UV stabilizers, is only when you are faced with disadvantages. These could vary from your turf being too shiny and looking like cheap plastic. Or, owing to poor construction, the UV fading fast and erratically such that you are left with various shades of the same colour that are most displeasing to the eye. Whilst cheap quality artificial turf might look attractive when you buy it, you will realize it turns out to be more expensive over the long run when compared to quality turf for you will need to replace quickly, and all the while, the turf will not look as natural or conform to being truly green in terms of not containing heavy metals, leads and other hazardous chemicals.

What is artificial grass?

Artificial grass is a synthetic surface or a carpet made from polypropylene or polyethylene yarn and is ideally designed to look and feel like natural grass. It is commonly used in landscaping and decorative applications for beautification and heavy usage areas. It is also extensively used for sports surfacing for consistent, secure and extensive play, especially when procured from quality manufacturers and installed by their authorized agents. Artificial grass now has a list of approvals from most world sporting bodies as certified for that sport.

Can artificial grass be repaired?

Yes, artificial grass can be repaired. Small tears or damaged sections can be patched using adhesive and replacement turf. For larger issues, one should seek professional assistance so that your turf is restored as seamlessly as possible. Since the dye lots may vary, there could initially be a slight colour difference but this will blend over time.

Is artificial grass worth the money?

Artificial grass is worth the investment for good quality artificial turf, from a quality-conscious company, requires little maintenance, is extremely durable and is visually appealing all year round. The upfront cost may be higher than natural grass but, in the long run, it is a much cheaper alternative as it doesnt need watering, mowing or fertilizing on a regular basis and can be used 365 days a year, regardless of the weather.

What are the factors that I should consider in choosing artificial grass for my garden?

The most important thing would be quality polymers, absence of any lead or heavy metals in the yarn and a product that is safe for child and pet alike. The product should be de-lusted so that it doesnt shine in the sunlight, have strong UV inhibitors so that it doesnt fade in the sunlight either and it always helps if the yarn has heat resistant inhibitors so that the surface temperature cools quickly and doesnt absorb heat. Do choose grass that matches and suits your intended use and even there are cheap variants in the market, do remember that these cheaper variants will not be suitable for your children, pregnant women and pets, not to mention their poor ecological impact owing to their cheaper construction.

Is artificial grass good for dogs?

Yes, artificial grass is good for dogs. It is durable, easy to clean and non-toxic, making it a safe and inviting area. Additionally, it doesnt develop muddy patches so it certainly keeps your pet and home much cleaner.

But if you consider the shelf, which is between 10 to 15 years, it is not a high investment. Your focus should be on the right product using conscious raw material and not cheap fakes.

Does artificial grass come with a warranty?

Yes, most artificial grass products come with a warranty, typically ranging from 5 to 15 years. The warranty usually covers manufacturing defects, UV fading and durability issues under guided usage.

Does artificial grass get hot?

Yes, artificial grass can get hot in direct sunlight, especially in warmer climates. To mitigate this, choose grass with heat-reflective technology or TigerCool technology. You can also water the grass for a cooling and natural effect.

Where can I get the best artificial grass service?

The best artificial grass services are typically offered by specialized landscaping or sports turf companies those whose products are certified and have been tested over time.

USA/NZ/Europe is the global leader and a grass company with manufacturing in any of these countries should be preferred as they provide legitimate warranties and guarantees, their products are not made using harmful raw material and they can be relied upon for years and years to come.

Can I install artificial grass on top of my existing lawn?

Installing artificial grass directly on an existing lawn is not recommended. The grass and soil underneath can decay, causing unevenness and spread bad odour, all the while creating a damp environment. A proper sub-base is required, with a slope in its profile and this could be a compacted crushed stone base or even concrete. Wooden decks work equally well.

How long does artificial grass installation take?

For even more aesthetically pleasing and highly cushioned surfaces, you have products for landscape turf going as high as 44mm. However, sports application turf has different recommendations depending upon it being a contact sport or a ball-bounce sport.

The school is very happy with the work Altius Sports did and everyone enjoys the field. The new turf meets our standards and the drainage system works much better than our previous field.
