Since its introduction in the 1960s, artificial grass has exponentially grown in popularity. Its practicality and stunning aesthetics have made synthetic turf the perfect choice for home and business owners throughout the country. However, even the most cutting-edge artificial turf will eventually outlive its usefulness, and the need for replacement artificial grass will be prevalent. But how will you know when it’s time to replace your artificial turf landscaping? At Grizzly Turf, we have some helpful suggestions that will help you identify the signs for replacement just in time, and hopefully, encourage you to reach out to us for your synthetic grass replacement needs.
AGE OF YOUR ARTIFICIAL TURF
In most cases, synthetic turf has a shelf life of 10 to 15 years, after which you’ll start to see signs of fading and wear and tear. If you had your artificial turf installed by another company, you may have a limited warranty covering this standard period, and it is suggested that you review your warranty, checking for the coverage of your synthetic grass. At Grizzly Turf, we are so sure that our products will live past this benchmark that we offer a 15-year warranty on all of our synthetic turf products!
DAMAGE
Artificial turf is known for its resilience and durability; however, this does not mean that synthetic grass is indestructible. Over time, your artificial grass lawn will experience matting or discoloration typically caused by years of wear and tear and heavy use. Additionally, your inlays can begin to loosen, resulting in a grave safety hazard for you and your family. Depending on the severity of the damage, you may get away with replacing a specific portion of your artificial turf. For best results, however, it is recommended to replace your entire synthetic turf landscaping.
