I haven’t had weeds grow through artificial turf but I’ve had it grow around the edges.
yes. I have one client whose garden irrigation kind of sprays the turf, because we load it with a coated silica sand 1lb per square feet swept in (to protect backing and help blades stand up) I guess that gives the weeds a medium to grow.
Not a lot though, if you spend 5 minutes every 3 months they just pull out very easily and they are usually really tiny. Or can spray roundup.
The city has a lot of meridians between busy streets with trees planted and they opted for artificial turf. I igeuss they assumed nobody would ever have to maintain it, because artificial, but its like a weed field, looks really bad after a few years.
Theres a few that we have done that aren't getting any weeds, but just like concrete, if you get dirt building up in cracks, that gives weeds a place to grow eventually if the area gets light and water.

They can, if weeds CAN pop up, they WILL. That landscape tarp won’t last forever, I’ve weed removals when I’ve had to tear out all that to get the weeds.
we don’t use landscape fabric for artificial turf. Dirt then 4” or more roadbase then turf.

My bad, I think I saw it somewhere with the fabric. But I’d take the advice if you guys over a YouTube video.
