1. How long does artificial grass last?

Premium Namgrass lasts 15–20 years in Singapore with light care, backed by a 10-year warranty on colour and UV stability. Cheap turf often looks tired within 2–4 years.

2. Does artificial grass drain in heavy rain?

Yes. Built over a proper free-draining base, it clears a monsoon downpour in seconds and is usable again almost immediately, with no puddles or mud.

3. Is artificial grass safe for children and pets?

Yes. Premium Namgrass is lead-free and EN 71-3 toy-safe, soft underfoot, with no pesticides or fertiliser. Pet waste lifts off and rinses clean through the base.

4. Does it get hot in the sun?

It warms in direct sun, more than living grass. A quick rinse cools it, and shade or lighter yarn helps; in everyday use with some shade it stays comfortable.

5. How much maintenance does it need?

Very little, a light brush and the occasional rinse. Singapore’s frequent rain does much of the cleaning for you.

6. Can it be installed on concrete, decking or a rooftop?

Yes. With the right drainage layer it lays over concrete, timber decking, tiled balconies and roof slabs, no soil needed.

7. Will it fade in the tropical sun?

Premium UV-stabilised yarn stays colour-fast for years. Fading is a hallmark of cheap, non-UV-rated turf, which is why yarn quality matters most here.

8. How much does artificial grass cost in Singapore?

It depends on area, site access and the build-up (base, drainage, shockpad). We quote after a site measurement, an on-site visit gives you an exact price, not a guess.

9. Does it look fake?

Modern multi-tone Namgrass with varied blade shapes looks convincingly real. The tell-tale “fake” look comes from cheap, single-colour, over-bright turf.

10. Do you supply only, or install too?

We design, supply and install with one in-house team, never subcontracted, so a single company is accountable for the turf, base and finish.
