At this time, if you live above the ground floor (i.e. in a flat) we are only able to deliver your goods to the ground floor entrance. Please note: We only deliver to Mainland UK addresses.

If the goods are returned and have been used or cut into, no refund will be issued as the goods will no longer be of saleable use again, and will automatically be disposed of by ourselves. Occasionally, we may send a slightly larger piece than ordered, this is not classed as incorrect or faulty, it’s purely to ensure your item is sufficiently large enough for your requirements and can be cut down to the correct size on site. (No extra charge is made for the additional size).
If you are arranging an independent fitter or as the fitting company you are ordering goods to install, we suggest that you do not schedule any installation work until a few days after receiving the delivery. This will enable you to check the goods and resolve any issues that there maybe with the product. Do not have the grass fitted if there are any problems with the grass. Call us first to check the problem.

If you have a query about your order, or general enquiries about the products and service we provide, please contact us on 01732 323122.
1.4.1 Creases/Backing
Due to the molecular structure of the backing material, it can crease when rolled/during transportation, occasionally during colder weather the backing may crack in small areas, however this does not effect the products in any way and is not classed as faulty. Creases should fall out within three months of the installation or supply. (This can take longer in winter months).The grass is not classed as faulty if delivered or installed with creases of cracked backing. Creases in the grass backing will decrease quite noticeably on a daily basis.
1.4.2 Seams/Grass Widths
Seams are occasionally visible due to the molecular structure of the product. This is unfortunately inevitable and can be influenced by a number of factors. The Forever Green warranty does not cover seam visibility.
1.5 Product Guarantee
All grasses we supply come with a 10 year manufacturer’s UV guarantee. Due to the molecular structure artificial grass can expand and contract in severe weather conditions. (Expansion and contraction is not covered under our guarantee).
The grass is designed to match the effects of real grass. Continued usage in a particular area will cause it to curl and crush. In these instances we recommend regular brushing. (Use of an AGM power brush will help to prolong the longevity and appearance of your product).
1.5.1 Maintenance
Grass required for sports or heavy duty activities should be sand filled to avoid the pile crushing. Our grasses can be installed with or without sand but we recommend a sand dressing if there is heavy usage.
Although maintenance levels are low we recommend the following:
- Brush regularly to clear of debris. (Make life easier use an AGM electric power brush).
- Top up sand levels regularly, if sand filled.
The grass itself rarely allows weeds to go through however seeds can germinate on the grass so maintenance of the surrounding areas is important; if this occurs a weed killer must be applied to be the surface.
Please note;
Mirrors, or mirrored objects hung in the garden can act as a magnifier, reflecting high-intensity streams of sunlight onto the grass. This, in turn will cause the fibres to melt, so be aware of having highly reflective objects in the garden. We highly recommend to avoid such items. This not covered under our 10 year UV warranty.
1.6 Colours
We send out the grass from the same batch to ensure there are no slight colour differentials. Therefore please be aware if you want to add more grass to an area at a later date there may be a slight colouration difference. We suggest you make the decision now and order all the grass from the same batch. Forever Green cannot be liable for any differences in colour for the same product if ordered at different times.
The colour of goods may vary slightly from that shown on the website due to limitations of browser software and monitors. Colouration and pile can vary by up to 10% from samples provided to actual products supplied due to batch manufacturing and variation.
