General Artificial Turf Questions
Artificial grass offers a consistently superior appearance compared to natural grass, regardless of the season or weather.
It remains lush and green, closely mimicking the look of real grass without developing brown spots or signs of wear. Even in high-traffic areas, it requires minimal upkeep to maintain its fresh, new look.
Because artificial turf doesn't need mowing, fertilizing, or pest control, both emissions and chemicals released into the atmosphere are greatly reduced.
Because it doesn't need watering, an average of 58,000 gallons per home are saved in Texas according to the EPA. This results in massive conservation for many of our drought-stricken regions.
Artificial turf is crafted for easy upkeep. Simply use a turf rake to remove debris and a water hose to rinse off any dirt or spills.
For tougher stains, you can use household cleaners or a mixture of vinegar and water.
On extremely hot days, artificial grass tends to be about 10% warmer than natural grass, yet nowhere near as hot as concrete. A quick spray with a water hose can help cool down the turf.
