Artificial grass can get warm under direct sunlight, especially during hot summer days. However, the temperature it reaches is similar to other outdoor surfaces like concrete or natural grass. To keep the turf cool, you can regularly spray it with water, which will reduce the temperature quickly. Additionally, installing shade structures or using light-colored infill can help minimize heat absorption. Some advanced turf products also come with cooling technology built into the fibers like Cool Blue Hollow Olive, which helps maintain a more comfortable surface temperature. Even on hot days, the turf cools down quickly once it’s shaded or the sun begins to set.

Yes! All of our Artificial Ivies are UV resistant!

Certainly! You can place turf on top of landscape fabric. In fact its highly recommended to use good quality landscape fabric underneath your grass for a few reasons;

1. Weed Prevention; The fabric acts as a barrier, against weeds keeping them from growing through the grass and maintaining an appearance.

2. Drainage; It allows water to flow through easily ensuring drainage and preventing water accumulation or pooling on the surface.

3. Soil Stabilization; The fabric helps stabilize the soil creating an level base for installing the artificial grass.

4. Pest Control; The barrier can also discourage pests and insects from making their home in the soil under the grass.

When laying grass over landscape fabric make sure to prepare the ground by leveling and compacting it before placing the fabric. This will create an sturdy base, for your grass guaranteeing a high quality and durable installation.

Global Syn-Turf artificial grass is designed to be securely installed, even in areas like roof decks where wind might be a concern. Here are some key points to ensure it stays in place:

1. Proper Installation: The turf should be properly secured using adhesive and seam tape, especially around the edges and seams. This prevents the turf from lifting or moving.

2. Infill Material: Using an appropriate infill material, such as sand or rubber, helps to weigh down the turf and keep it stable. This is particularly useful in open areas where wind might be stronger.

3. Edge Securing: For additional stability, securing the edges of the turf with nails or staples to a wooden frame or other fixed structures can help prevent it from blowing away.

4. Heavy Objects: Placing heavy objects, such as planters or decorative items, can also help keep the turf in place.

Customers who have properly installed their Global Syn-Turf on roof decks generally do not experience issues with the turf blowing away. If you have any specific questions give us a call @877-796-8873! I hope this answered your question!

First and foremost, you really don’t want your pets to discharge on your artificial putting greens, training them not to mess with your greens is important. However, if by accident they pee or poop on the putting green surface, you can use a garden hose to wash down the liquid and spray with our Pet Odor Neutralizer to remove smells if any. You can simply pick up the solid discharges as you would from other surfaces. My suggestion is that you always want to use our regular artificial grass for your pets to play and use for their toilets instead of having them on your putting greens.
