Artificial grass is a popular choice for homeowners because it is low-maintenance and durable. However, it is important to note that artificial grass does take some time to settle after installation. This is because the fibers of the artificial grass will need time to relax and conform to the shape of the ground. In some cases, artificial grass may take up to a month to settle completely.
The amount of time it takes for artificial grass to settle depends on a number of factors, including:
- The quality of the artificial grass
- The thickness of the infill
- The weather conditions
In general, it can take anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks for artificial grass to fully settle. During this time, you may notice some wrinkles or creases in the turf. You may also notice that the infill is not evenly distributed.
To help the artificial grass settle properly, it is important to avoid walking on it as much as possible during the first few weeks. You should also brush the turf regularly to help distribute the infill and keep the blades upright.
Here are some tips for helping artificial grass settle:
- Avoid walking on the turf as much as possible during the first few weeks.
- Brush the turf regularly to help distribute the infill and keep the blades upright.
- If you notice any wrinkles or creases in the turf, you can try to smooth them out with a brush.
- If the infill is not evenly distributed, you can add more infill to the areas where it is needed.
- If you have any concerns about the artificial grass settling properly, you should contact the installer.
Once the artificial grass has fully settled, it will look and feel its best. You can then enjoy your new low-maintenance lawn for many years to come.
