Artificial Grass Manufacturer from Perth Warns Australians: “Not All Warranties are Equally Trustworthy”

Green Planet Grass reveals why a good warranty can be the most important part of a synthetic grass purchase.
Perth, WA, 30 April 2014 - Artificial grass represents a large initial cash outlay for many homeowners, but eventually saves them more money than they spent due to severely reduced maintenance costs and the fact that it doesn’t have to be watered. In other words, the longer an artificial lawn lasts, the more money it saves the homeowner.

Consequently, it is in the best interests of the homeowner that any artificial lawn remains in good shape for a substantial period of time. High quality artificial grass can last longer than twenty years in ideal conditions, but synthetic grass of lower quality can develop problems that result in degradation of the artificial lawn.

One of the biggest problems with lower quality artificial grass is that the surface can wear out prematurely with too much use. High quality artificial grass retains its integrity for a long time, but an inferior product will show a lot of wear and tear within as little as one year. Fading can also be a problem, turning a natural looking shade of green into something that screams “fake lawn” to anyone who cares to look.

Equally important is the ability to follow through and execute the necessary repairs for the length of a warranty. For example, a local company that manufactures its own products in Australia is more likely to be able to provide warranty repairs or replacements than one that has to send overseas for its products.

In addition, a company with a track record of success, verified by satisfied customers, testimonials and visible displays of their work is more likely to be around long enough to honour a warranty. It is also advisable to find out if a company has a reputation for ethical and morally responsible business practices.

Justin Everley is the Director of Green Planet Grass, a Perth firm that has completed over 4,000 successful installations of artificial grass. He proudly displays the “Australian Made, Australian Owned” label on all of his products. Mr Everley’s experience has been that a company’s warranty reveals a lot about their quality and how much confidence they have in their product.

According to Mr Everley: “A company’s warranty tells you a lot about them. Since nobody can afford to spend half of their time and resources replacing their product, a warranty is a very good indication of how long they expect their product to last before an unacceptable number of warranty work is necessary. I would be very careful, for example, of companies that only warranty their artificial grass for less than five years or whose production warranty resides overseas.”

Mr Everley concluded, “Ultimately, you want a long warranty from a company that is going to be around a long time. We provide exactly that.”
