The lifespan of artificial grass can vary depending on several factors such as the quality of the material, the installation process, and the amount of foot traffic and maintenance it receives. Typically, high-quality artificial grass can last up to 15-20 years or more with proper care and maintenance. However, lower-quality artificial grass may have a shorter lifespan of 5-10 years.

Proper care and maintenance of the artificial grass can help to extend its lifespan. Artificial grass is a durable and low-maintenance alternative to natural grass, but it still requires some care to avoid damaging it.

Here are some tips to help you keep your artificial grass in good condition:

1. Don’t use sharp objects on the grass: Avoid using sharp objects, such as knives or scissors, on the artificial grass. These can cut the grass fibers and damage the backing. Another cautionary tale: avoid dropping gardening tools with sharp edges. These might penetrate the backing or tear your artificial turf. Lay your tools down carefully, with their sharp ends pointing upward. But make sure you don’t step on them if you do!
2. Keep heavy objects off the grass: Avoid placing heavy objects like furniture, planters, or equipment on the artificial grass. These items can cause damage to the turf and create unsightly indentations.
3. Use a soft-bristled broom or leaf blower to remove debris: Use a soft-bristled broom or leaf blower to remove leaves, twigs, and other debris from the surface of the grass. This will prevent the accumulation of debris, which can cause damage to the turf.
4. Keep fire away from your artificial grass: A grilling area or fire pit is a great addition to any garden. We can’t argue with that. But if you have artificial grass installed, it’s a bad idea to locate one of these sizzling summer items in the middle of your lawn. Hot embers and ashes can fall on the turf, which will cause the plastic fibers and threads to melt. To avoid damage to your artificial grass, place your barbecue or fire pit a safe distance away and on a stable surface such as your patio or terrace. Also, avoid smoking on the artificial grass as cigarettes or cigars can cause burns or discoloration.
5. Watch out with chemical products: Clean up spills like oil, grease, or pet urine as soon as possible to prevent staining and discoloration of the turf. A synthetic lawn doesn’t require lawn care products such as fertilisers and pesticides, but other plants in your garden may still need them. These products can contain a number of chemicals that may be caustic for your grass. So, be careful when you’re spraying your flower beds, shrubs and hedges. Remove any spills immediately by cleaning your artificial grass with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning product.
6. Proper installation: Another main reason why artificial grass may get damaged is that the type of grass you’ve selected simply isn’t the right one for the way you’re using it. Ensure that the artificial grass is properly installed with the correct base materials and drainage to prevent damage from water buildup or shifting.
