FAQ's:

Q: Is sand essential for installation of artificial grass?

A: Ideally, yes. Sand helps to keep the pile of the grass standing up right, it acts as a weight and more importantly reduces static build up. It also keeps the grass cool in the summer months by retaining moisture and helps the porosity through the system.

Q: Is artificial grass suitable for pets and children?

A: Yes, our artificial grass is engineered from the highest quality yarns, ensuring that they contain no toxic properties, such as lead.

Q: Does artificial grass require any maintenance?

A: Once the grass has been installed, it requires a minimum level of maintenance. We recommend a ‘light and often’ technique; meaning regular light brushing to reduce the risk of the fibres flattening and the infill from settling. Over time, you may also want to top up the infill to help rejuvenate the overall look of the grass.

Q: Can weeds penetrate the surface?

A: The fibres in the artificial grass are tufted into a very strong backing cloth which helps prevent roots and weeds growing through the surface. However, weeds may occasionally appear on the surface as a result of windblown seeds. Smaller weeds can be removed by hand without damaging the surface. If weeds are removed by hand, it is important to ensure that the root is fully extracted, not just broken off. It is okay to treat the surface for moss & algae twice a year to stop any growth but keep debris/leave free.

Q: Is artificial grass porous?

A: Artificial grass is porous; our systems have specially designed drainage holes place consistently throughout the turf to ensure water sheds quickly and efficiently, reducing the risk of pooling on the surface. The sub-base, in which our systems are installed on, are designed to provide superior drainage properties.

Q: Why is artificial grass more beneficial than tarmac when it comes to play and sport surfacing?

A: There are many reasons why artificial grass is more beneficial than tarmac when it comes to play and sport surfacing; users are more active and more likely to participate on artificial pitches and areas, the rate of injuries is reduced because of the consistency and accessibility of the all-weather surfaces and users can reach their full potential when playing on high quality surfaces.

Q: What can artificial grass be laid onto?

A: Artificial Grass can be laid onto MOT Stone Type 1, Tarmac and Concrete. The grass must be installed to an edge and free draining is required.

Q: How long will the artificial grass last for?

A: It depends on how heavily it will be used and how well it is maintained. DCM have been back on sites over 10 years old and the grass is still in great condition.

Q: Does artificial grass fade in sunlight?

A: The product is UV stable and the colour will not be affected over 7 years. After this time, it will start to slowly fade.

Q: Is artificial grass environmentally friendly?

A: Artificial Grass is manufactured with full environmental awareness and all waste materials are recycled into other products. The yarn needs to be virgin as this needs to be UV stable.

Q: Can artificial grass be installed in the rain?

A: Unfortunately, artificial grass can only be installed in dry weather conditions.
