Artificial Grass Longevity: Does It Fade, Flatten or Last?
You’re probably choosing artificial grass because it’s low maintenance and will look good for a long time. But exactly how long? Will it really look fresh and new the whole time? We’re here to help clear things up.
The truth is, artificial grass has the benefit of looking luscious whatever the weather and for very little effort, making it a desirable option over natural lawns. It’s also highly durable, giving it fantastic resilience and longevity. This is especially true if you purchase from a trusted supplier such as Easigrass, an award-winner in the industry.
Let’s find out more about what you can expect for the future of your artificial lawn.
How long does artificial grass last?
We can only answer from the perspective of Easigrass and our award-winning grass that’s known for its quality across the country.
Our artificial grass comes with an 8-year warranty as standard and is expected to last for 10 to 12 years on average. However, with the proper care, our grass has been on top form for up to 20 years for some customers.
Our team is always here to help you get the best possible performance and lifespan from your artificial lawn too.
What factors affect artificial grass longevity?
There are a few factors that will influence how long your artificial grass will last, including:
- Material quality: The product itself has to be of the very highest quality. Here at Easigrass Glasgow, our grass has won multiple awards and been featured at RHS flower shows, so you can trust in its excellence.
- Installation method: Grass will only be as good as its installer. That’s why you should not install it yourself, and why you should always pick a professional who has the reviews to back up their service, like the Easigrass team.
- Maintenance: The beauty of artificial grass is that it’s very low maintenance, though it does still need some attention. Removing leaves, hosing down pet waste and giving it the occasional brush are all things you can do to put a few years on your lawn.
- Usage levels: A lawn that is used every day by playful pets and children may not last as long compared to grass that is hardly ever walked on.
- Weather resistance: Grass that has inbuilt weather resistance will likely have a longer lifespan. Here at Easigrass, our grass is UV protected to boost its resilience and longevity.
As you can see, the lifespan of your artificial lawn is largely down to the supplier, but also partly up to the user as well. Together, we ensure you enjoy a long-lasting lawn for your property.
Does artificial grass fade over time?
No, our Easigrass products will not fade over time. That’s because we incorporate UV protection and stabilisation into our grass, ensuring that it keeps its rich and natural colour for many years.
Can artificial grass flatten over time?
As with natural turf, the blades of artificial grass can flatten. This happens with lots of footfall or from objects being placed on the surface. Luckily, this is easy to fix. Simply use a stiff brush to perk up the blades and it will be looking its lively self once again.
You may want to avoid placing heavy objects on the lawn in future, and think about occasionally replenishing the infill too.
In summary
If you want to relax and enjoy a minimal maintenance lawn that looks green, healthy and full of life all year round, artificial grass is for you. There are only a few occasional bits of upkeep to do and it will stay looking beautiful for many years. Our team can also help out, not only with supply and installation of our products, but also with maintenance services and general upkeep advice too.
