How Long Does Artificial Turf Typically Last?

Artificial grass can have an extremely good lifespan if well maintained. And over time, this gives excellent value for money. Coupled with the fact that it is low-maintenance in comparison to a real lawn, premium-grade cheap artificial turf is a great choice for many homeowners. But how long will it typically last, and how to get the most out of it?

One of the joys of installing artificial grass is the fact that it is low maintenance and does not require the constant cycle of watering, feeding and reseeding. But when it comes to synthetic grass, how long does it typically last? This will highly depend on the quality of your fake turf, but whether you’ve chosen the budget artificial grass UK householders often opt for, or something which is of premium grade, you can still expect a good result either way.

However, there are certain tips and tricks which landscapers, carpet retailers and builders should be aware of to help keep a synthetic lawn looking it’s lush green best.

Does cheap astro turf have a good lifespan?

Premium grade cheap Astroturf, such as the quality we sell here at Say Grass ltd, will enjoy a good lifespan. It can typically give you anything up to 20 years’ worth of enjoyment within your garden.

This means that, although you have that initial outlay, the artificial turf price is very good value for money and a great investment for households looking to improve their outdoor space quickly, and with little ongoing maintenance.

How can I ensure my artificial turf lasts as long as possible?

An artificial lawn must get off to the right start. This means following the proper preparation and installation instructions on your synthetic turf rolls. It’s also really important to ensure the site of your fake lawn has excellent drainage.

How do you maintain artificial grass?

To prolong the life of synthetic lawns, it’s important that the right maintenance guidelines are followed. This includes using a broom, a plastic rake or a leaf blower to remove leaves and debris, and giving it a good brush regularly to keep the fibres of the false grass standing upright.

If anything gets spilt on fake grass, it can simply be washed away with water (it’s better not to use cleaning products on it) and homeowners must know not to put anything hot, such as barbeques, on their artificial lawn. Similarly, if they’re placing anything heavy on their fake grass, such as garden furniture, make sure that the load is spread so as not to create too many indentations.

Does the budget artificial grass UK householders opt for give good value for money?

Premium grade cheap Astro turf if always good value for money. No mowing, feeding, fertilising or watering your grass for two decades? Just think of the savings! The astroturf price, whether a budget-friendly option or something a little more luxurious, works out as good value for money in comparison to a real lawn, which often requires a huge amount of maintenance in addition to money.

A huge thank you to Nithi and his team. Was a smooth process from start to finish , great support and information given. The team showed up at 10am and worked non stop all day! They finished around 5pm. The garden is amazing and totally unrecognisable! All my neighbours are commenting on it and considering using the company themselfs. It’s really made the world of difference for our family already. Thanks so much guys you have been amazing! Pictures of before and after

I have had problems with my turf for the last 4 years and been laid three times found no solution but to look at the option of astroturf. Having 5-6 different surveys, Saygrass was the most consultive understanding and understanding of my concerns having two dogs. From completing the survey I managed to receive a quote within 15 minutes. After booking installation was complete in 2 weeks. The team were friendly experienced knowledgeable and complete the job in less than half a day. There was no mess and advised me on maintenance and aftercare. Can 100% highly recommend Saygrass, fantastic service .

Saygrass did a great job in my garden at a good price. Elly provided the best customer service - she was available to help throughout the entire process. I would recommend being present from start to finish to ensure things are being done exactly to your liking as there were a couple of things I wished were done a little differently - but nothing that has impinged on my enjoyment of the garden. I would use this company again.

The quality of the grass is just outstanding, and the customer service went far and beyond to ensure I got what I asked for, I cannot recommend you enough. Amazing work, thank you so much Neeru for your hospitality throughout. Very helpful !

Elly came round and done some measurements and explained everything with great detail. I'm a very visual person and elly took her time to help me understand what could be done and the potential my garden has. I had absolutely no knowledge in landscape,patios and artificial grass but now I feel so comfortable with garden being handed over to say grass :)

This company is amazing. They go above and beyond your expectations. They are just too good.They laid my grass very very nicely and properly levelled the ground and everything else connected with the job was done to a very high standard. After completion they swept my garden and left everything very neatly. They are very polite and explain everything in detail. Owner and his team are genuine nice people.

I've only used the service for a free quote for a start and I very certainly will recommend it. I chanced on to the site while I was surfing the net for an artisan service. Now, I can gauge if I'm offered value for my money. More people need to know about this type of service. And also, the rep that came over to guage the job was very professional and represented well. Good job 👏 👍🏾 👌

Turned my nightmare mess of a garden into a dream garden! I can’t stop looking at it!

google

Had a maintenance clean for my artificial lawn. The guys were very thorough, patient and professional. They didn’t complain or rush the job even though the work took longer than anticipated as I hadn’t had a maintenance service for a long while. I will use SayGrass annually going forward.

At a little loss for words, spoke with a lovely person call Neeru. The initial conversation was positive, great phone etiquette. Was given an immediate price point as a reference. Upon searching around, they were the cheaper deal by at least 1k! I needed a quick turnaround too, Neeru was able to organise and get everything sorted within a week! Honestly shocked at the incredible speed of service, the people who came to complete the job were cordial, laid floor covers down to protect my floors and even swept up after they were done. Some things are expected, but this whole process has shown me that there are just some bits of class and customer service you can’t put a price on. Will be using them for every bit of Garden work from here on out!

Overall, it was a great experience with top service and installation.
