Artificial turf is a man-made surface of synthetic fibers that closely mimics natural turf. Artificial turf is commonly used in houses, stadiums, parks, and other recreational areas with lots of grass.

Artificial turf is generally considered very safe for children to play on. Most artificial turf is made from non-toxic materials, so it isn’t considered harmful if touched or ingested. Moreover, artificial turf is non-slippery and has a cushioning effect that reduces the chances of injuries from falling. It is still essential to check with the manufacturer to ensure it’s safe for children.

On average, installing artificial turf takes around two or three days. The timing greatly depends on the size of your outdoor space/worksite. If you have a relatively bigger yard, it may take longer than the average time.

On average, artificial turf lasts around one and a half to two decades if maintained properly.

Although artificial turf stands up to heavy use and requires no irrigation or trimming, it must be regularly maintained and groomed to sustain its fresh appearance. Artificial turf looks vibrant and lasts longer, depending on how often you maintain it.

Artificial turf may suffer from a decrease in UV stability around the decade mark. That said, a well-installed artificial lawn should last at least close to two decades.

Artificial turf is generally very easy to clean. The most important thing is to remove any dirt or debris accumulated on the surface. This can be done with a stiff broom, a leaf blower, or a vacuum cleaner. If there are any stains, they can be removed with mild detergent and water. For tougher stains, you may need to use a specialized cleaner.
