Artificial grass has been around for many years and it continues to be one of the most popular flooring options. The durability of artificial grass is amazing, with many people claiming that their artificial grass has lasted for years without any signs of wear or tear. Some people even claim that their artificial turf has never needed to be replaced.

There are a few factors that can contribute to the longevity of artificial turf. One key factor is how often the turf is maintained. If you take care of your turf regularly, it will likely last longer than if you don’t. Another key factor is weather conditions – if your turf is kept indoors, it will likely last longer than if it’s exposed to elements outside.

When thinking about investing in your home or making business improvements, there are a few factors that will help you make a final decision. Artificial grass is not only useful and affordable, it is also a great decoration piece. As such, there is only one thing left to mention about it, which is the duration period. How long will you be able to enjoy it and is it worth your time and money?

Most artificial turfs come with the warranty which depends on the manufacturers and the quality of the materials used to make it. Some companies claim they will service and replace the turf for 10-15 years and on rare occasions, the warranty extends up to 25 years. It is up to you to decide which company fits your needs best and how much are you willing to invest in it. Although fake grass has an expected duration period, there is some effort you need to put in to keep it looking ’sharp’ for many years to come.

Choosing a respected company with years of experience and a good reputation is key. If you are looking to let your money rest with the synthetic grass in your yard, do some research first. Find the best solution for the cash you are willing to set aside, and once you buy it, read the installation manual thoroughly. Some artificial turf requires a special base or infill, so don’t ignore this recommendation. The manufacturers tend to give you advice based on what was shown to be the best combination of fake grass and base in the past. Making a different choice can also lead to a successful installation, but with some risks and more possible damages in the future.

How you maintain your artificial turf can extend its ’life’ more than anyone predicted. A few simple steps each week can make your lawns shine and your neighbors will surely want to know your secret. All you need is a garden hose, a broom, and a leaf blower.

Larger debris such as branches and leaves can be easily cleaned up by using a leaf blower. Simply blow the debris in one corner, collect it and your lawn is as good as new!

 If your family members don’t take that good care of it and spill something on the fake grass, just turn on the garden hose and gently rinse the dirt off. Not that complicated, right?

 There is one more card up your sleeve and it is the modest broom. If your lawn is in the area with a lot of foot traffic or your kids enjoy playing on it, take a broom once in a while and sweep the synthetic grass. This will ensure that the fibers stay as good as new, facing the sky as if they needed the sun to grow.
