How long does artificial grass last?

High-quality synthetic turf can last anywhere from 15 to 25 years or even longer with proper maintenance. The lifespan depends on factors like the quality of the turf, the amount of foot traffic, weather conditions, and how well it's maintained.

Does artificial grass fade or discolor?

Premium synthetic turf is engineered to be UV resistant, which helps it maintain its color and structure over many years. However, lower-quality turf may fade over time with prolonged sun exposure.

Can artificial grass withstand heavy use?

Yes, synthetic turf is designed to be durable and withstand heavy foot traffic, sports activities, and even pets playing without significant wear and tear.

Does artificial grass melt?

Many petroleum-based synthetic turf can melt at high temperatures, typically around 175°F (79°C) or higher. Our synthetic grass is nylon-based, which means it can withstand MUCH higher temperatures, critical near heat surfaces like glare from double-paned windows.

Is artificial grass easy to maintain?

One of the main benefits of synthetic turf is its low maintenance compared to natural grass. It doesn't require mowing, watering, fertilizing, or weeding.

Will artificial turf reduce bugs and pests?

While possible, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper drainage, level surface, and long-lasting results.
