4. Can I install my artificial grass on top of my existing lawn?
Unfortunately, no. This is because the roots and weeds in natural grass could cause damage to the artificial turf backing. Also, the artificial turf won’t drain if it’s installed over natural grass. Proper drainage is essential for artificial turf, and installing it over natural grass can hinder this drainage, leading to water pooling. To ensure the longevity and performance of your artificial turf, it's best to remove the existing natural grass, prepare a suitable base, and then install the artificial turf for a flawless and durable result.

9. Does artificial turf get hot?
Yes, however once shaded or watered it quickly loses its heat. Just like natural grass, artificial grass can benefit from a light sprinkling of water from a garden hose. This helps to cool down the surface and prevents it from becoming heating up. Artificial turf doesn't retain heat to the same extent as hard surfaces like concrete or asphalt. The heat absorption varies depending on factors like the type of infill used and the local climate. To mitigate any potential discomfort, you can simply shade the turf or lightly water it to cool down the surface. Overall, while artificial turf can get warm, it's not excessively hot, making it a comfortable and safe option for outdoor spaces during hot weather, especially when compared to traditional hard surfaces.

11. Does artificial turf require maintenance?
Yes, but it requires much less maintenance than a regular lawn.
To keep your artificial turf looking its best, you should:
- Remove Debris: Regularly remove leaves and debris using a leaf blower or a gentle rake.
- Weed Control: Apply weed control measures as needed to prevent any unwanted growth.
- Brushing: Occasional brushing with a stiff broom helps keep the turf's blades upright and even.
- Cleaning: If you have pets, you may need to rinse and clean the area occasionally.
Overall, the maintenance is minimal compared to mowing, watering, and fertilising natural grass, and your artificial turf will maintain its lush appearance with these simple steps.
12. What happens to artificial grass when it rains?
Rain actually provides natural cleaning for your artificial turf. The rain will drain quickly through the inbuilt holes in the turf. The rainwater naturally drains through the specially designed drainage system built into the artificial turf. This ensures that your lawn does not become waterlogged, preventing muddy patches or puddles. In fact, rainwater can help clean and refresh your artificial grass, keeping it looking vibrant and lush. However, for areas with prolonged rain or heavy use, it's advisable to occasionally top up the infill material, such as sand, to maintain optimal performance. Overall, rain is beneficial for artificial grass, as it helps maintain its natural appearance and durability.

With proper care and maintenance, your new artificial should last for 15 years, and if it does not, we will be with you every step of the way.

To keep your synthetic grass looking its best, you can simply use a leaf blower or a stiff brush to remove leaves, debris, or any loose materials that may accumulate on the surface.
