Is Artificial Grass Better than Natural Grass? +

Artificial grass has numerous advantages over natural grass, especially when it comes to maintenance. You won’t need to mow, water, or trim it, which saves both time and money. Additionally, artificial grass won’t attract pests or produce muddy areas that could be tracked into your home. While synthetic grass is made from plastic, it conserves water, reducing your overall water consumption by thousands of gallons annually. If sustainability is your primary concern, natural grass may have the edge because it’s biodegradable, but artificial grass helps with water conservation and other environmental benefits.

Why Should You Choose Artificial Grass? +

Artificial grass offers a variety of advantages that make it a smart choice for homeowners and businesses alike:
  • No bugs: Artificial turf doesn’t attract pests, which means fewer outdoor nuisances like insects.
  • No watering: Save on water bills and avoid muddy spots, as synthetic grass doesn’t require watering.
  • Always green: Unlike natural grass, which can turn brown or dry out, artificial grass remains lush and green year-round.
  • No mowing: Eliminate the hassle of regular lawn care and maintenance.
  • Long-term savings: While the initial investment is higher than natural grass, artificial grass saves money over time by reducing water, fertilizer, and lawn care costs.
  • Realistic appearance: Modern artificial grass looks incredibly natural, mimicking the look and texture of real grass.

We advise that every artificial grass uses some silica sand infill to help maintain coolness, aswell as assist with being a fire retardant, and reduce static. Silica sand also is encouraged on every installation as it helps keep the grass yarn fibres to stay upright.

How can I maintain my Standard Turf? +

Maintaining artificial grass is incredibly simple. Occasionally remove any debris and brush the turf to keep the blades upright. If dust accumulates, a quick rinse with water will restore its clean look. We also recommend to use an annual maintenance service from your installer, which includes inspecting seams, edges, and infill.

Will Standard Turf flatten over time? +

The durability of the yarn is key to maintaining the upright position of artificial grass fibers. At Standard Turf, we use advanced yarn designs, like the ‘S’ and diamond shapes, which offer superior resilience compared to the more common ‘C’ shape found in many other manufactured products. These unique shapes give our grass enhanced strength and memory, helping it stay upright for longer. While some flattening may occur in high-traffic areas, regular brushing and silica sand infill will restore the fibers to their original position, ensuring a lasting, pristine appearance.

Is Standard Turf Child & Pet Friendly? +

Yes, all Standard Turf products are lead free, Mercury free, and free from any Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) which means its perfectly safe for your children and pets to play on. VOCs are chemicals that can evaporate into the air and may contribute to air pollution and health issues. VOC-free products are considered safer for indoor air quality and are commonly used in paints, adhesives, and building materials to minimize harmful emission.

Can Artificial Grass Be Installed On Concrete? +

Yes, artificial grass can be installed on hard surfaces like concrete. A cushioning layer of infill or in some cases a shock pad can be added for comfort depending on its use, and proper drainage should be considered.

What are shock pads? +

Shock pads are foam layers placed beneath the grass to provide extra cushioning and safety, especially in playgrounds or sports areas. These pads help absorb impact and make the turf feel softer underfoot. Shock pads are recommended for areas where children play, but we generally avoid using them in pet areas to prevent absorption of liquids.
