The Common Myths of Artificial Grass

Artificial grass has been around for many years and during that time there have been a number of myths created that aren’t true. As experts in artificial grass installation and maintenance we’ve put together this blog to help debunk the common myths. 

Keep reading to find out the common myths of artificial grass.

Myth one: Artificial grass doesn’t look realistic

The first and most common myth is that artificial grass doesn’t look realistic. Many years ago it wouldn’t have been uncommon to find poor quality, unnatural looking grass but over the years artificial grass has been developed in its appearance and quality meaning that artificial grass now looks just as realistic as natural grass. For realistic looking artificial grass it is important to purchase it from a reputable supplier.

Myth two: It isn’t pet or child friendly 

Another myth is that artificial grass isn’t safe for people with children or pets, but this is simply not true. Artificial grass is a great option for families that have pets and children. 

If you have children and pets, you may know the burden of having to wash the grass and mud stains from your children’s clothes or constantly mopping the muddy footprints and pawprints from your floors. With artificial grass you can wave those days goodbye. 

Like natural grass, artificial grass makes for a great base for children’s play areas, it will soften the impact of any falls or tumbles of your children while easily draining any spills or pet urine and it is super easy to clean up any messes left behind. 

Myth three: It’s hard to maintain and keep clean

Contrary to popular belief artificial grass is relatively low maintenance compared to traditional natural turf. You can say goodbye to the days of mowing, trimming and weeding your lawn as with artificial grass you’ll no longer have to. Even though artificial grass does still require some maintenance it is a lot easier.

To keep your artificial grass looking its best, we recommend regularly giving it a brush to remove any debris such as twig, leaves and other items and then every so often giving it a deeper clean to disinfect and clean your grass. If you have pets hosing down your lawn after they’ve done their business can help your grass stay looking and smelling fresh.
