Artificial grass will fade
This is a common one, but it is completely untrue. Wee, it is with our grass at least. Our grass is IV certified and has seen intense testing. Furthermore, we have been going for a long time and have never received a complaint about faded grass. Nor do we expect to ever have any.
If your grass does seem to have faded, it may be dirty and require a clead. In addition, flattened grass may look faded also, but getting a thick landscaping brush to brush the pile will help this too.
It will get too hot burn my dogs paws
Like concrete or 99% of surfaces, artificial can get hot in extreme temperature (not commonly reached in the UK). In the event that the weather is scorching, and your artificial grass feels hot to touch, just hose it down and the it will quickly drop in temperature.
