Artificial grass is popular for a variety of reasons, one of which being its durability. That does not, however, mean that it cannot be harmed. Unfortunately, there are a few things you may do that might negatively affect your artificial lawn significantly and permanently. The good news is that we’ll discuss all of these problems so you can prevent them.

Use no harsh chemicals at all

You’ll see that while we never state that it is impossible for your artificial lawn to fade or get dirty, we do emphasize how unlikely it is to happen. Although quite tough, it is not impenetrable. There are easy solutions to clean up minor spills on your grass, like paint. A few products, though, have the potential to harm consumers permanently.

Keep in mind that since artificial grass is comprised of petroleum-based materials, strong chemicals or even oil-based paints might harm it. Although the goods we install come with a strong warranty, the coverage will be restricted if the damage is caused by contact with severe chemicals. Fortunately, preventing this kind of harm is simple. Just keep such materials away from your yard.

Avoid exposing your artificial grass to fire or hot coals

The good news is that the components used to create fake grass are not flammable, so it won’t catch fire or burn no matter how hot you get it. It can, however, dissolve. Make sure there is a barrier of some form between your lawn and a firepit or barbecue if you have one. This might be made of brick, concrete, or another hardscape material. Embers that escape the fire will fall on the hardscape rather than the ground.

Avoid letting your artificial grass become pierced

You run the risk of puncturing the mesh backing of your artificial turf if you use stakes or other similar devices on it. We can assist you in installing a permanent structure—like fences, play structures, or light posts—without harming your lawn.

Of course, a lot of other things, such pointy tree limbs and twigs, have the potential to pierce your artificial grass. Because of this, we advise that you keep your yard tidy and clear away any debris after a storm. These easy actions can aid in damage mitigation.

Your synthetic grass can endure for decades

The same is true of natural grass, although there are a few things to watch out for with artificial grass. Simply keep these suggestions in mind, and you’ll have lovely artificial grass for many years to come.
