FAQs About Artificial Grass Nelson
How long does artificial grass last?
Typically 12–15 years, depending on usage and care. Proper base prep and infill help it stay level, secure, and green for well over a decade.
Is artificial grass safe for pets and children?
Yes. Lifestyle Lawns use Envirofill antibacterial infill, helping prevent odours and creating a safer, cleaner play surface.
Does artificial turf get hot in summer?
It can warm slightly under direct sunlight, but Lifestyle Lawns’ cool-surface design keeps it comfortable — especially with lighter infill shades.
What maintenance does artificial grass need?
Very little. Just an occasional hose-down or brush to remove leaves and dust — no mowing, watering, or fertilising required.
Can artificial grass be installed on sloped or tricky sites?
Absolutely. We specialise in custom turf installations for sloped lawns, shaded areas, and challenging sites across Nelson and Tasman.
