Artificial grass is just as safe, or even more safe than a pencil that you hold in your hands. We work with materials that have all the necessary certificates and pass rigorous safety tests.

How hot does artificial grass get

Synthetic turf does get hot. The temperature of artificial grass under the sunlight could get to 130-150 degrees F.

 

Does artificial grass require maintenance?

Yes. Synthetic turf is not maintenance free.

For light duty, you can use a leaf blower or stiff-bristled broom and then rinse with water. For slightly soiled areas or areas that are pet-friendly, we recommend using a sanitizer on those areas.

For best results, use a pressure washer to remove dirt and stains on your artificial grass. Keep the wand at least a foot away from the surface, as it’s a best practice to apply sanitizer before cleaning. Pet-friendly areas require specific cleaning practices.
