The 10 most frequently asked questions about artificial grass.

Yes, absolutely! High-quality artificial grass – such as that from Namgrass – is developed with different fibre lengths, colours and textures to mimic the natural look of real grass. Many people only notice the difference when they really know.

Artificial grass can get slightly warmer than real grass in direct sunlight, but it remains comfortable to walk on. Dark colours absorb more heat, so choose a lighter shade if your garden gets a lot of sun. Tip: spray it with the garden hose and it will immediately feel cool.

Absolutely! Artificial grass is ideal for pets: no more muddy paws in the house, and easy to clean. Urine can simply be rinsed away with water, and solid waste can be removed just like on a normal lawn. What's more, dogs don't dig in it – which means no more bare patches!

Yes, you can, provided you are handy and use the right materials. The surface must be level and stable, with a pressure-distributing sand bed. Namgrass offers handy installation instructions and, if you prefer not to take any risks, a professional installation service.

On average, 10 to 20 years, depending on the type of grass, the intensity of use and the quality of installation. Most Namgrass products come with a 10-year guarantee, so you are assured of a green lawn for many years to come.

A little – but much less than real grass. Regular brushing to keep the fibres upright and remove leaves or dust is usually enough. This keeps it fresh and tidy.

Properly installed artificial grass allows water to drain through easily. The underlay and drainage ensure that rainwater simply sinks into the ground. So no puddles!

Artificial grass is constantly evolving. At Namgrass, we are working on more efficient production processes and solutions using recycled and recyclable materials. We are also developing products with a longer lifespan and a design that facilitates recycling.

No fertilisers or pesticides are required to maintain artificial grass, and there is no need for watering to keep the lawn green. Mowing is also a thing of the past, meaning you need less water, fertiliser and fuel for lawn maintenance.

The environmental impact of an artificial grass solution depends on the product, its application and its entire life cycle. That is why, wherever possible, we back up specific environmental claims with product data, LCAs and EPDs.

Yes, you can! Artificial grass gives terraces or balconies a warm, natural look. Just make sure that the water can drain away properly – a drainage mat can help with this.

Absolutely. Artificial grass does not discolour due to frost or snow and remains beautiful green. Simply allow snow to melt and avoid using salt, as this can damage the fibres.
