Frequently asked questions
Is artificial turf safe for pets and kids?
Yes, artificial turf is safe for pets and children when the correct turf type is used.
For pets, you should install pet-specific turf, which includes better drainage and antimicrobial backing.
For heavy or aggressive play, play turf is the smartest option due to added cushioning and durability.
For light play with a few kids, standard residential turf is typically sufficient.
What kind of maintenance or cleaning does turf require?
Artificial turf requires low maintenance. Basic care includes occasional rinsing to remove dust, brushing fibers upright in high-traffic areas, and spot-cleaning pet waste with water or a mild enzyme cleaner. Periodic infill redistribution helps maintain appearance and performance over time.
Does turf get too hot in direct sunlight?
Yes, artificial turf can get hot in direct sunlight, especially in very warm climates. While normal heat alone will not melt turf, reflected sunlight from energy-efficient or low-E windows can create concentrated hot spots that may warp or melt turf fibers. To prevent this, installing anti-reflective window tint, solar screens, or exterior shading is highly effective, as it diffuses the reflected rays before they reach the turf. Additional cooling methods such as occasional rinsing and proper turf selection can further reduce surface temperatures and protect the turf long-term.
