This is a really good question. There are many factors can determine your artificial grass’ lifespan, and it is difficult to simply tell when the turf is nearing its end. Typically we offer a 15 year warranty under normal weather and usages, but artificial lawns being in less harsh environment and used less can end up lasting longer than that. But in extremely hot areas, the lifespan of your turf will be shortened.

As far as symptoms of the ending of artificial grass’ life, I will say it is more or less like car tires. The wear and tear will both shorten and thread the fibers to make them eventually look and feel worn out or discolored, to identify if it is a true old and worn out turf, by referring to the artificial grass original date will give you an idea. Or you can try to use your finger nails pinch some turf fibers and pull them, if the fibers are easily breaking off, that is the end of its life. Sometimes the look and feel of an artificial grass lawn can be bad, but the fibers are still in good shape meaning not easily break off when you try to pull them off, such turf still have life time left. If discoloring on turf happens, which normally caused by the failure of UV protective agent inside the fibers, the turf’s life is at its last leg.

My artificial turf came to an end and I saw that the blades are shedding. I think that's normal given the fact that my dog love gnawing and scratching it.
I honestly wouldn't worry much about this since most artificial grass products are guaranteed to last for years.
My fake grass isn't under sun's direct heat so I hope it would last for at least 15 years!
I don't want to spend money in getting a new turf, so I'll definitely watch out for these early signs so I can immediately prevent it.
Wow, this is very helpful. I wouldn't want to end up surprised because my artificial grass is already torn up too.
