When you are looking to complete a large project such as turfing your backyard you want to be sure that it will last. Synthetic grass is designed to last for many years and withstand a lot of wear and tear, but there are a few things you can do to increase its life.

Let’s take a look at a few of the things that can impact the lifespan of your artificial grass.

Heavy Foot Traffic

With natural grass, if you constantly have many people walking or running on your lawn or have heavy furniture stored on top of it, the blades will wear down over time or your lawn will die underneath your furniture.

Artificial turf however, is specifically designed to be walked on and have furniture stored on top of it. It’s made of a durable material, and it’s fake so it can’t die due to a lack of sunlight or water. So, it will have a long lifetime no matter how much or how many people walk all over it.

Quality of Materials

To ensure you get a long life out of your fake lawn, make sure your fake grass is made of high quality materials that are designed to withstand the weather in your area. 

Our turfs are especially designed for the harsh weather conditions that we can experience at times here on the Sunshine Coast. Our synthetic grasses are all reinforced with durable tape that provides a strong seal along the join lines to ensure your lawn is high quality and lasts. 

Regular Cleaning

I know, cleaning sounds boring and it can be, but so is mowing and you don’t have to worry about that with artificial turf. So, look on the bright side. 

To keep your synthetic lawn looking great it is important to keep it clean. Most messes will seep straight through the turf and disappear without a second thought, but any that don’t you may just have to give a quick hose down. 

Also, as it is synthetic, debris such as leaves won’t always break down, so you will have to sweep them off every now and then to ensure it is kept clean and in good condition. Leaving debris for long periods of time while they attempt to break down will not only make your lawn messy but can potentially damage your turf over time. 

With so little maintenance compared to natural grass, your synthetic turf will last and look great for many years to come without having to spend hours and lots of effort mowing, weeding, and maintaining every week.

Avoid Using Heat Sources 

Extreme heat is sure to damage anything real and artificial. To ensure you get a long life out of your synthetic turf it is best to avoid using artificial heat sources, like barbecues and firepits, on or near your turf. 

Any heat sources should not be used on your turf as they can singe or burn the grass blades. Similarly, you should avoid placing any highly reflective surfaces near the synthetic turf as it can have the potential to catch fire if light shines off them at a particular angle.
