Questions & Answers

I personally don't know if anyone has used artificial grass for chicken nesting boxes, but technically you can use it. Our artificial grass is designed and manufactured with harm to human and animals and is safe for applications around animals. 

Yes, absolutely. I will recommend you to rinse and sanitize the turf as often as possible if your toddler will urine on it, you need to keep the turf clean at all times if having your toddlers on it. I would have couple of suggestions for you:

1. Watch your toddler to make sure he/she not to pull or chew or eat the grass

2. Use antimicrobial infills which will prevent bacteria or gems from growing on your turf

Well, the artificial turf will withstand heavy rains and strong winds. To resist a hurricane, it will have a lot to do with the installations. If the installation was done properly with nails along the perimeters and sand infills average 2 lbs per sq., it will definitely hand the downpours without a problem as all of our products have permeability of 50 inches per hour, there never have been hurricane on record can dump this much of rain in a hour in history. by that said my personal opinion is that our artificial turf will be resistant to a hurricane.

There are couple of ways of deodorizing urine smells from fake grass, always use a garden hose to spray rinsing the grass with a attached bottle of vinegar, this probably the cheapest way for deodorizing.

Not really, we haven’t had any complaints regarding moss grows on artificial grass. The artificial grass itself won’t provide moss-grow friendly conditions, if you really concern about anything to grow inside the artificial turf, I will suggest you to use antimicrobial infills, such infills are sands coated with another germ and bacteria and will prevent moss from growing. The cost of antimicrobial infills will be higher than regular sand and if your budget permits, it is always a great option to have, then your entire artificial lawn system will be clean and hygiene.

Weeds can almost grow from anywhere, so it is possible for it to grow from underneath the artificial grass. There are couple of things you can do:

First, you can prevent weeds from growing by putting a layer of weed barrier under the artificial grass. You can find the details about weed barrier at this link: https://www.globalsynturf.com/products/weed-barrier

If you didn't use weed barrier at the installation and having weeds issues, you can use weed killers such as Roundup to get rid of them. Just be careful when applying the roundups, always wear face masks and glues to avoid inhaling or contacting with it.

Since a density can refer to many different aspects of artificial grass, I would like just to emphasize on the stitch count to analyze and answer your question  here. Depending on the faceweight and other specifications, each of our product has different stitch count. First, what is the stitch count? 

In artificial grass industry, the stitch count means how many total stitches in a square yard of artificial turf. There are couple of main technical configurations that determine the stitch count for each product: tufting gauge and face weight. The tufting gauge is the distance between stitch rows, we have tufting machines can produce artificial grass with gauges of 1/4", 3/16", 1/2", 5/8" and 3/4". There are not necessarily good or bad of each configurations rather than preferences for specific type of products. For an example, we will use the tighter gauge for putting green products, and wider gauges for sports turf which can take in infills easily. On the face weight, the heavier of a turf the more of stitch counts, simple math.

People can definitely see the differences by looking at the backings of each products on the stitches and stitch gauges, but normally you won't see any differences on the surfaces regardless the tufting gauges.

Even though there is no differences on the appearances of artificial grass with different stitch gauges and face weight, functionalities and usages will be different and can be noticeable: you will find the heavier face weight products standing up better and longer  and less likely to lay down as fast and Easter to get brushed up.

At currently stage, we only manufacture the bigger pieces of artificial grass at 15’ wide and 100’ long, people buying our products at 15’ incrementally such as 15’ by 1’ and 15’ by 2’ and so on and so forth. Unfortunately we are not finishing up the edges of the artificial grass pieces.

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.
