What about rain?

If you keep your grass on your balcony or outdoors, we recommend covering the grass while it rains or moving it indoors. We would also recommend using one of our plastic trays.

What if there is a problem with my order?

If your order arrived damaged or you received the incorrect item please reach out to our customer service department so that we may remedy the situation as soon as possible.


During the summer months it is possible you may encounter a bug in the grass. This is because our grass is a real, living plant that is grown outdoors. If you happen to see a bug we recommend spraying your grass with water and a few drops of dish soap.
