Many Sacramento homeowners invest in artificial grass because it’s a long-term landscaping solution that guarantees a substantial return on investment. However, like all significant investments, you likely want to ensure that it lasts for as long as possible in order to get the most for your money. Our artificial grass products come with a 15-year warranty and can last for more than 20 years if properly cared for. If you want to extend the lifespan of your artificial grass lawn, here are three easy ways to do so, from initial installation to maintenance.

1. Choose the Right Turf Product

The most crucial part of any install is selecting the right product for your home’s unique needs. At Artificial Turf by Fenix, we have dozens of different turf products available for installation. These artificial grass variations come with different pile heights, face weights, colors, and functionality, so you can customize your lawn to best suit your lifestyle. If you need a durable solution for kids and pets, we’ll install a much different product than we would for someone who wants long and lush showpiece grass. Choosing a synthetic turf product that doesn’t have the right specs for your lawn’s needs could result in premature wear and tear that shortens the lifespan of your synthetic grass installation.

2. Choose the Best Infill for Your Lawn

Another important consideration is infill. Much like the turf itself, infill needs to be chosen based on your home’s unique needs. A putting green, for example, should use silica sand for a smooth roll. Silica sand shouldn’t be used in homes that have pets, however, as the sand retains odors from pet waste and other sources. If you have kids and pets, antimicrobial infill products are the best solution for maximizing the longevity of your synthetic grass installation. 

3. Take Proper Care of Your Artificial Grass

Any investment, big or small, will require some amount of upkeep in order to maintain its condition and hold its value. You can extend the lifespan of your artificial grass by performing routine maintenance such as cross-brushing and picking up debris. Although synthetic grass doesn’t need to be mowed, chemically treated, or regularly watered, there are still small steps you can take such as rinsing dust and moving patio furniture that will protect your turf’s quality for as long as possible.
