Artificial Grass FAQ
Answers to the common questions about artificial grass use and benefits.
Artificial grass (turf or synthetic grass) is typically made from a blend of polypropylene and polyethylene, which is crafted into synthetic fibers to look like natural grass. The synthetic fibers are then joined with rubber granules and sand to help the blades retain their upright position.
Yes. Synthetic grass is used by many humane societies and professional pet boarders due to its ability to be easily cleaned with a hose. And since artificial lawns are durable, they can’t easily be dug through, and artificial grass is non-toxic.
No. While synthetic products vary some, many are softer than natural grass, which makes them a good choice for child play areas. Synthetic grass has been used on sports fields for many years and has become increasingly popular for residential applications.
Synthetic turf comes in a variety of styles, it provides consistent beauty, there are minimal upkeep requirements (periodic gentle raking is sometimes needed), and they don’t require water. High quality synthetic grass does not stain or fade, and since they’re porous they don’t typically mildew.
The average lifespan is 10 to 15 years, but a high quality product will often last up to 20 years.
