We enjoy engaging in Q&A sessions on our Instagram stories, where we address the most frequently asked questions about agsturf, our high-quality artificial grass. We've compiled the top five questions we encounter:
Is agsturf safe for pets to use as a potty area? Absolutely! The key to ensuring safety for your furry friends is proper drainage. This feature allows you to easily rinse and clean the turf. We offer specialized pet-friendly grasses with 100% permeability to make it a breeze for you and your pets.
Does agsturf become scorching in the summer? Yes, it can get warm, but fret not! Artificial grass technology has made significant advancements over the past decade. Our agsturf boasts a UV coating that reflects heat rather than absorbing it. Consequently, it remains no hotter than a typical pool deck and can be cooled down by a simple rinse, making it ideal for children and pets.
Can agsturf be installed on sloped terrain? Absolutely! We've been installing agsturf for a decade, and many of the properties we've worked on have had sloped or uneven landscapes. In fact, agsturf can help mitigate erosion, making it an excellent choice for such spaces. If you're uncertain about the feasibility for your specific area, our Specialists are available to assess and provide guidance.
Does agsturf contain rubber infill? Not always! While some sports fields, such as football fields, use rubber infill (those tiny black granules you might have seen), it's typically reserved for sports-specific grass. For residential use, the most common infill is silica sand. Infill serves to keep the grass blades upright, deter bacteria, and enhance the grass's durability. If you have pets, you can opt for an antibacterial infill, which includes odor-neutralizing agents to combat pet odors.
How long does agsturf last, and what's the maintenance like? Most agsturf varieties have a lifespan of 15+ years. With proper care, your artificial grass will endure the test of time. Maintenance is straightforward and entails regular leaf blowing to remove debris, scooping up pet waste, and rinsing urine or spills. Avoid placing hot objects, like leaf blowers, directly on the turf. You may need to refresh the infill after several years, but maintenance remains minimal. No need for regular watering, mowing, weed-eating, seeding, or sodding – it's a sigh of relief!
