Members are spoilt for choice with the Urban Ascot, which is 25 millimetres, and Urban Buffalo and Urban Prestige, both of which are 40 millimetres.
“ The Urban Ascot is perfect for kids and pets, because it’ s shorter and easier to run on, but still looks very realistic,” Ellis advises, adding that all Urban Turf Solutions products are permeable, pet and child safe, and free from harmful chemicals and toxins.“ The Buffalo and Prestige products provide an extra layer of comfort and are more suited to homes where optics are everything.”

few things Ellis recommends to keep your synthetic grass looking its best.
“ If you have a pet, make sure you use a dedicated synthetic lawn cleaning product,” he advises, adding that you’ ll also need a stiff-bristled broom to brush against the grain.“ Sweep your grass regularly, depending on the amount of foot traffic. The average yard will need
sweeping about once a month, as well as plucking occasional weeds.”
Correct installation will also go a long way towards ensuring the longevity of your lawn. Costco and Urban Turf Solutions provide members with the flexibility to install yourself, or have professionals do it for you. Either way, members will benefit from expert advice when a technician conducts the last phase of the quoting process – a final check measure.
“ Our technicians will confirm the size and gradient of the installation area, which we’ ve estimated using our proprietary satellite technology,” says Ellis.
“ We’ ve got an experienced team that is really passionate about what they do,” he continues.“ It’ s in our best interest to ensure the longevity of your artificial turf and advise you on how that’ s achieved to maximise your investment.”
