How Long Does Artificial Grass Last?

Artificial grass is known for being low-maintenance, eco-friendly, and always green—but one of the most common questions we hear is: How long does artificial grass actually last?

At PetGrow, our premium artificial turf is designed to stay beautiful and functional for 10 to 15 years, or even longer with the right care. If you're considering turf for your home, business, or pet area, understanding what affects its lifespan can help you make a smarter investment.

What Factors Affect Lifespan?

Several key factors determine how long your artificial grass will last:

• Material Quality
  Turf made from high-quality polyethylene or nylon is more durable and resilient than lower-cost options. PetGrow turf is made with these materials to ensure longevity and strength.

• UV Protection
  Sun exposure can damage or fade low-grade turf. Our products are UV-stabilized to keep their rich green color even in hot, sunny climates.

• Traffic & Use
  Lawns with heavy foot traffic—such as those used by pets or children—may show signs of wear sooner. Still, our dense, pet-friendly turf is built to handle it all.

• Installation Matters
  A solid foundation and tightly secured seams can extend your turf’s lifespan significantly. Poor installation, on the other hand, may lead to early wear and drainage issues.

Curious how to get that clean, natural look? Don’t miss our guide on how to hide artificial grass seams effectively.

How to Make It Last Even Longer

With minimal upkeep, you can maximize your turf’s life:

• Rinse Occasionally to remove dust or pet waste

• Brush Fibers to keep them standing tall

• Remove Debris like leaves and twigs that may block drainage

• Avoid Extreme Heat from grills or fire pits placed directly on the grass

A few simple steps go a long way in keeping your turf fresh and functional.

When Is It Time to Replace?

Eventually, even the best turf will show signs of age—flattened blades, discoloration, or thinning areas. When that happens, it might be time for a replacement or refresh. Thankfully, it takes well over a decade for high-quality turf like ours to reach that point.
