The 5 Things you Should Look for When Buying Artificial Grass

I think that we can all agree that artificial grass isn’t what it used to be, and that’s a good thing. Gone are the days of neon green plastic being rolled over the grass in your backyard, only for it to slowly mesh into the mud and dirt after two weeks. Now the market for artificial grass has boomed, with a massive library of products, all with unique specifications and uses. Face-weight, denure, thatch, backing, basing, drainage – these are just a few of the terms that a company will use to sell artificial grass, and as a customer it can be difficult keeping up.

At ForeverLawn we want to simplify this process for you, by basing our products around the core tenets of realism, durability, easy maintenance, quality installation  and long-term customer satisfaction. Regardless of the use or purpose of the installation, these key aspects will help you make an informed decision as a customer.

Realistic Appearance: A Seamless Look and Feel

The first thing that a customer notices with artificial grass is how it looks, seconded only by how it feels. If the product is the wrong color or blend of colors, your eyes will know that it’s artificial grass before you even step on it. Then after you get to feel it underfoot, it can feel sharp, coarse or like plastic.

At ForeverLawn we were one of the first in the industry to put browns and tans in our artificial grass. We knew that if we wanted to create the most realistic look in the market, we would need to include all the browns, tans and other shades of green that are in real grass, not just paint a single shade of green across the whole yard. Additionally, we use our own proprietary tech to create an underfoot texture that feels just like the real thing! Combined together it creates a sensory experience that matches the expectation of stepping onto a grassy lawn. 

Durability: Built to Withstand the Test of Time

The next factor to consider is durability.

I’ll be honest, artificial grass isn’t a purchase you can afford to make flippantly. It’s an investment and when you make an investment you need to know that what you’re investing in is going to last. With artificial grass it should not only last through each season, but also through different weather conditions, daily wear and tear as well as certain edge cases.

ForeverLawn products were originally designed to withstand the harsh, arid climate of the American Southwest. We use premium materials and construction to ensure that our products last past the competition. From the blades designed to withstand the magnified rays of window reflections, to our proprietary backing and unique seaming installation techniques, our products are made to be resilient regardless of the conditions they might be put under.  

Stress-Free Maintenance: Save Time, Water, and Effort

For most customers one of the most valuable benefits of artificial grass is the low-maintenance option it provides. With artificial grass you only spend a fraction of the time on maintenance that you would spend on the upkeep and manicuring of a traditional lawn. There’s no mowing, fertilizing or weeding, and for some customers who own dogs, there’s no concern about fixing brown patches or mud spots that they’ve created. 

Foreverlawn’s artificial grass only requires some occasional rinsing and brushing to keep debris clear and the blades looking their best, which means less time spent on making your space the place you want to be, and more time spent enjoying it.

Professional Installation: Done Right the First Time

Similar to most types of construction, it doesn’t matter how good a material is if it’s not installed correctly. You could have the most ornately carved, beautiful mahogany door removed after a few months if it isn’t installed properly. 

This is even more true with artificial grass. 

If artificial grass is installed improperly you could run into drainage issues, seams across the middle of the space that are either pulling apart or tenting, improper amounts of infill, or even the product separating from the edge when exposed to heat. This doesn’t begin to take into account more technical installs like  playgrounds or dog spaces.

ForeverLawn provides their installers with a rigorous training program to ensure that each install is done to the premium standards that we bring to the market. We cover all aspects of an install, from base preparation to infill brushing, in order to create the best installation professionals in the industry. For some of our more technical installs like Playground Grass, we offer certification courses that can be used to help customers differentiate our “good” from our “best”. Using professional installers, instead of just two guys in a truck, will help avoid common installation issues, and bring together a beautiful, functional space.

Industry-Leading Warranty: Get Long-Term Peace of Mind

Something that is often forgotten when choosing the best artificial grass option is the warranty. A good warrant reflects a company’s confidence in their product.

At ForeverLawn, we only offer warranties when we have seen evidence of the product performing in the field. This means when we say that we offer a 15-year warranty that covers wear and fading, we have had our product in the ground, performing at optimal levels, for 15-years. Additionally, our Closed Loop Warranty system tracks specific details about each project making servicing and supporting installs easy and efficient for both the customer and the installer.
