Burns and Melting
One of the most common types of damage occurs from strong heat sources. Although artificial grass can sustain high temperatures in the summer, amber from a BBQ or a lit cigarette dropped by accident can quickly damage synthetic grass fibres. Small burns might appear as dark, crusty spots or areas where the grass fibres have fused together. For minor burns, you might get away with simply trimming the damaged fibres and brushing the surrounding area. However, larger burns will require a patch repair.
Tears and Rips
Active families, pets, and moving furniture can all cause tears in artificial grass. The severity of the tear will determine your repair approach. Small tears under six inches can often be repaired with seam tape and adhesive, while larger tears will require cutting out the damaged section and installing a replacement patch.
