You sure can use artificial grass for your yoga practice, however, I would suggest to have a mat designed for yoga laying it over the artificial grass lawn. Here is a picture for this idea, a picture will mean many words of explanations hopefully:

 | Mario Borras It's fine, as long as your artificial grass is installed properly, I don't see any issues at all. |
 | Germaine Stickrod Absolutely. You can definitely do your yoga on your artificial grass. |
 | Jose Wareham My daughter is using a yoga mat on their artificial turf and it's okay. |
 | Bill Sacks As long as your turf is secure, I guess you should be okay |
 | Christinia Rheingold I don't see any reason why not |
 | Todd Vaszily I think it'd look bulky on artificial grass but I think it depends on the thickness of the mat |
If your installation was done properly to start with, it will be difficult for your dog to ruin the grass that easily. It also depend on how big is your dog. A big powerful dog can tore up almost anything. When the installation was done correctly with nails every 4-6 inches apart along the perimeters of your turf, your grass should be very securely affixed to the ground. However, if your dog keep pulling on it consistently, I am afraid that the edges will getting loose up and eventually fail. So the only way I can think of is to train your dog not to pull the artificial grass, not to chew and not to eat it.
| I don't think so, because GST products are of high quality and very durable. Your dog should not be able to pull it as long as the artificial grass is properly installed. |
 | Good thing I trained my dog not to chew my turf. |
 | We used long nails when we installed our artificial grass and our dog has a hard time ripping it. |

 | Their recommendations for the installers are really professionals. I've seen their work. |
 | I understand. Thanks for explaining this to us further. The free quote is helpful. |
It depends on the applications.
Typically most of sport fields which being used on a daily bases can last between 5-10 years. Similar lifespans for heavily used playgrounds. Therefore most of sport field artificial grass warranties cover usage time rather than just time.
For residential and commercial lawns, our artificial grass will last you as long as 25 years! Our general product warranties for such applications is 15 years, and you can find details about our warranty on our product specification page: https://www.globalsynturf.com/artificial-grass-specifications-specs
 | Best to use it until you can. That would help our environment so much |
 | That's still long years to replace them. I was thinking about 5 years. |
 | Even if it doesn't reach the 25th year, it's all good since the minimum durability is 15 years-- definitely still durable enough |
We always want to compare the artificial grass with real grass lawn when discussing about environmental benefits. Real grass lawn requires a lot of water, on average, 60% of a household water bills goes to thirsty lawns so it is a waste of resources. More importantly, people might have a terribly wrong impressions of real grass lawns are natural therefore it is good for environment, that might be particularly true, why? Maintenance of real grass lawns can have very negative impact on our environment: the pollutions caused by lawn mowers are worse than vehicles’ emissions:
The EPA estimates that hour-for-hour, gasoline powered lawn mowers produce 11 times as much pollution as a new car. According to the EPA, each gas-powered lawn mower produces as much air pollution as 43 new automobiles driven 12,000 per year – lawn care produces 13 billion pounds of toxic pollutants per year.
The chemicals and pesticides used to maintain real grass can really contaminate soil and underground water resources. For articulations grass, you have absolutely none of above, so it is much better for our environment.
 | Also, a real lawn requires the use of chemicals such as pesticides, etc. With artificial grass, there's no need for that |
 | My parents used to water our lawn thrice a week. When they switched to artificial grass, their water bill was reduced. |
 | An eco-friendly thing indeed! |
 | That makes sense! Nice thinking. |
You can get a garden hose attached bottle and fill it with vinegar to spray rinsing the artificial grass to sanitize. Or you can have sanitizer filled into a garden hose attached bottle to spray and sanitize the turf. As you can see that the best way of sanitizing artificial grass is to use garden hose spraying.
 | Yes, I agree with spraying artificial grass with part water and part vinegar to make it look and smell clean. |
 | Many homemade alternatives can be quick mixtures of soapy water and bleach would be an excellent way to sanitize artificial turf |
| My mom used apple cider vinegar on hers and it's very effecftive. |
 | I've seen some people power washing their turf |
| I'm surprised you use vinegar for sanitation. |
 | This is good to know. |
Like walking on anything, there will be normal sound effect if you listen closely to it, same for walking on artificial turf surfaces, but it defiantly not to a "noise" level. I have found that during cold days when the artificial grass fibers get a bit more stiffer, when you walk on it, you can hear a bit more. But during normal warm days, you barely can hear anything while walking on the grass.
 | I could not hear any sound or noise when walked on my artificial grass until now. |
 | not at all! |
 | I did not notice any noise coming from my artificial grass when walked on |
We do not recommend people to put rubber in artificial turf, and we have never carry rubber infills on our product lineup. For sport fields, people use rubber infills to achieve Gmax rating which have been a so-called "standard" for many years. But Global Syn-Turf never recommend to use rubbers as infills for our products and we suggestions to using paddings to achieve GMax requirements. So in short, we don't recommend to put rubber on our products.
 | It helps stand upright on the fibers. |
 | That's strange. Some people use rubber as infills. |
 | I guess the reason why is because rubber adds up heat to the artificial grass. |
Once a while, you might need to fluff your artificial grass. Here are some basic ways to do that:
1. You can use a turf rake to fluff up your grass. Here is the link for the turf groomer available from Global Syn-Turf-Turf: https://www.globalsynturf.com/products/turf-groom
2. You can use a regular bristle (more rigid type) push brooms. See an example on this page: https://www.globalsynturf.com/installation/
3. You can garden hose or power washer to fluff fake grass as well.
4. Ultimately, you can have your installer or professionals to use a power broom to fluff your artificial grass lawn. Most installers use power brooms at their installations.
 | That sounds easy, I think I can handle the fluffing myself |
 | I love fluffy grass! |
 | I need this 'cause my baby crawl on it and I would like to make it soft for her. |
When it rains, water will drain through artificial grass instantly. Our GST products come in with drainage hole and averaged to drain more than 50 inches per hours which means very fast. Even our putting green products can drain more than 25 inches per hour. More important, you need to keep in mind that artificial grass will drain as well as its base drains. If you are installing artificial turf on a concrete surface and it is perfectly leveled, you might have issues with rain going through grass, water will get through the artificial grass easily and quickly, but if the base is solid and water can't go side ways, it will become an issue. So to conclude my point, artificial turf will drain water very effectively given proper base it was installed on; if installed on a solid base, make sure to have some slope to the surface for water to run side ways.
 | Don't worry, artificial grass is water-resistant. These are designed to ensure the free flow of rainwater through the perforated grass fiber |
