Artificial grass is becoming ever popular amongst the South African population due to its low maintenance, its realistic look and its dream garden appeal. These are some of the frequently asked questions about artificial grass that we are often asked. Click on the FAQs below to find out more.
-
How much artificial grass will I need?Every garden is different, but the average size of a domestic garden we install is between 50 and 60 square metres.

How long will Easigrass last?There are many factors which will determine the life span of your grass; the particular product, the application, how often it is used, what it is used for and if it is maintained properly etc. The normal life expectancy is 10 – 15 years. Sports installations which are continually used will have a shorter life span than a landscaped area that is occasionally walked on.
