Installing artificial grass: How to make it safe for children and pets at home

The demand for synthetic turf or artificial grass has been increasing steadily over the last few years. This demand is directly proportional to the growing awareness on environment and ecology related issues. Special care has to be taken during the installation of the synthetic grass to ensure the complete safety of children and pets at home. Children generally roll around on the turf, and pets like cats and dogs defecate or urinate on it. As such, the turf has to be soft and washable.

Make Sure Your Turf Is Child and Pet Friendly

While installing artificial grass in your lawn or backyard, keep the following tips in mind to make it child and pet friendly:

  1. Check out some free samples in the beginning if possible. This will help you get a better idea of what you are going to pay for.

  2. Ask about the guarantee/warranty before you make a payment and do some background research before signing on the dotted line. The manufacturer's warranty period in Australia can be approximately 5 to 7 years.

  3. Ask your supplier about whether the instalment warranty can last up to 3 years.

  4. Ask your supplier if the professional installation service comes with a purchase order or not. Your artificial grass will last longer if it is installed by a professional.

  5. Compare two varieties of artificial grass by taking the per-square-meter cost as the main parameter.

  6. Pay attention to the total delivery charges. These charges form a major portion of the expenses incurred for laying the artificial grass in your backyard.

  7. Buy turf that is accredited by the DHS. This is important to ensure the child-friendliness aspect of the turf. The DHS or Department of Human Services accredits turf that makes use of soft fall rubber, which is deemed safe for children.

  8. Learn about the acceptable payment modes in advance. Since you are going to make a big investment, it is advisable to look out for suppliers who accept payment in interest free instalments.

  9. Artificial grass with a higher grass blade density is considered to be of a better quality.

  10. Artificial grass should have holed latex backing. Water does not drain from the turf without holed latex backing. Washing stains from the grass is also very easy with holed latex backing.

A Briliant Lawn Instantly

After making an initial investment, artificial turf does not require great maintenance. Brilliant lawns can be created almost instantly. After installing the turf in your backyard, you no longer need to worry about its lifespan or cleanliness. Your turf will always remain beautiful regardless of the weather. Moreover, artificial grass is a great alternative for those who are allergic to plant matter or are prone to hay fever.
