When considering installing artificial grass, one must consider its longevity. As artificial lawn is made up of synthetic fibres, either nylon or propylene, they are usually made with a UV resistance durability that allows it to withstand various temperatures and weather conditions.
Just as with natural grass, each blade has an expected durability, and is sewn into a backing material that provides it with further endurance. It is within this manufacturing process that they are able to increase its efficiency thus providing it with its low maintenance benefits.
Added to this, which is key, is proper installation of the artificial grass. Poor installation will result in drainage issues which will cause slippage between the backing material, weed growth, and breakages which will drastically decrease the lifespan of the grass.As each tuft is made to withstand foot traffic, the longevity is impacted by the amount of traffic that passes over the lawn within its lifespan. By choosing a quality product, you are able to maintain your artificial grass with little to no maintenance for a period of 20 years.
This speaks to the quality of the synthetic fibres that the artificial lawn is made of, as this provides further proof into how the initial costs are justified.
In order to ensure the longevity of your grass, you need to do minimal maintenance, namely removing foreign matter, pet waste, organic waste, and ensuring that the grass is washed off occasionally.
A simple brushing with a soft broom will also ensure that the tufts are always maintained and that no foreign matter remains lodged between them. Particularly any chemical residue as this will cause discoloration and fading.
Overall, artificial grass remains a top contender in terms of home improvements due to its low maintenance and high-quality finishes. Making it the best choice product when considering how to improve your home.
