Q: Are your artificial grasss the same as astro-turf?
A: No. It's actually synthetic grass combined with sand and recycled
rubber granules. The lawn fibres are 30 – 45mm long depending on the
product you select. A unique blend of rubber granules and sand is
carefully applied into the matt of the lawn. This anchors the synthetic
turf securely in place and makes it look and feel just like natural
grass.

Q: What type of maintenance should I expect?
A: An occasional brooming is recommended but not necessary. This will
stand the fibres back up and even out the in-fill material. Most
customers leave the grass in its "flatter" position as this is more
like real grass. Debris like leaves and twigs can be easily be removed
with a leaf blower – as long as it is done with care to avoid blowing
away of the sand and rubber.

Q: Can Enduroturf be installed over my existing lawn?
A: No. The existing turf must first be removed either by spraying or
removed with a turf-cutter. A fine layer of crushed rock is laid down,
smoothed and compacted before the artificial turf is installed.

Q: How does drainage work with your artificial grass?
A: The drainage is very similar to pavers – water drains "off" the
artificial grass surface into a drain or garden bed. The artificial
turf backing also has many perforated holes allowing for water to drain
vertically. Additionally, the infill (sand) absorbs and holds some
water.

Q: Can pets harm my artificial grass?
A: We sell this product for use in kennels. Urine is not a problem as
it absorbs into the sand and rubber and eventually evaporates. Other
messes clean up the same as natural grass, using a scooper or shovel.
You may also spray the soiled area with a hose then simply brush the
turf back into place if necessary.

Q: How does the cost of artificial grass compare to natural lawn?
A: When compared with installing a sprinkler system, top soil, and the
price of turf, combined with watering, mowing, weeding, fertilising,
Enduroturf artificial grass will pay for itself in a few years. You can
maximise your investment if you include low maintenance solutions, such
as pebbles or paving with your synthetic grass. The contrast of these
solutions with our grass looks fantastic!
