What Questions Do Customers Ask When Deciding on an Artificial Lawn?

Published: 13 March 2025

Choosing an artificial lawn can be a big decision, whether you’re a homeowner looking for a low-maintenance garden, a school needing a durable play area, or a business creating an attractive outdoor space. At Perfectly Green, we get asked a lot of important questions by customers trying to find the right artificial grass solution. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common ones to help you make an informed choice.

How realistic does artificial grass look?

Gone are the days of fake, plastic-looking lawns! Our artificial grass is designed to replicate the look and feel of natural grass, with different shades of green, brown thatch layers, and varying pile heights to achieve a natural appearance. We offer a range of options to suit different preferences, from soft and lush landscaping grasses to short, dense sports turf.

Is artificial grass safe for children and pets?

Artificial grass for dogsYes! Our artificial grass is child- and pet-friendly, with:
  • Soft, cushioned surfaces for safe play.
  • Non-toxic materials that meet EU safety standards.
  • Excellent drainage to prevent puddles and muddy mess.
  • Optional shock pads for extra safety in play areas.
Perfectly Green’s artificial grass is commonly used in schools, playgrounds, and nurseries, offering a clean and safe surface for active children.

How long does fake grass last?

Our high-quality artificial grass products last 10-15 years or more with proper care. Our ranges are:
  • UV-stabilised to prevent fading.
  • Manufactured from high grade materials, using industry leading methods
  • Made from durable polyethylene & polypropylene fibres.
  • Designed for heavy foot traffic in gardens, schools, and commercial areas.
With minimal artificial grass maintenance, your lawn will stay green and vibrant all year round.

How do I maintain imitation grass?

Artificial Grass gardenArtificial grass requires far less maintenance than a natural lawn. To keep it looking great:
  • Brush the fibres regularly to prevent flattening. Good grasses incorporate technology and innovation for great 'spring back'
  • Remove leaves and debris with a broom or leaf blower.
  • Hose it down occasionally to remove dust and pet waste.
  • Use a stiff brush to lift fibers after heavy use.
  • Move garden furniture regularly to avoid compression if possible
We also offer Envirofill infill and Wee Free enzyme cleaner, which helps keep the grass odour-free and bacteria-resistant—ideal for pet owners!

Does artificial grass get hot in summer?

Artificial grass can warm up in direct sunlight, but it does not reach dangerous temperatures, particularly not in the UK! If it does get hot:
  • Wear sandals or similar.
  • Use shade sails.
  • Hose down the surface on particularly hot days for quick cooling.
Our products are designed to stay comfortable for play and relaxation, even in warmer weather.

Is artificial grass environmentally conscious?
