I am not sure exactly what you meant by “stay down”, but I will answer your questions from two perspectives and hopefully will address your concerns.

A. How to keep the grass stay down without feeling of warbling and floating as a thin sheet of carpet? This will have a lot to do with the installations. At the installation, to better keep the artificial grass down, you need to following our suggested instructions by using the nails along the edges of the grass and add averaged 2 lbs of infills onto the artificial lawn. By doing so, the feel of your artificial grass will be solid and stay down firmly. Also, your seams and edges will be less likely separated due to the turf expansions and contractions. Here are some links to further elaborate my points including nails, infills and installation guidelines:

B. Why artificial grass blades stay down and hard to get them back up? This is a usage related issue. All artificial grass made from PE and PP materials which have “memories”. When heavy traffics and usages happens to the artificial lawn which make the grass blades laying down, if such activities being constant, the grass will try to “remember” that to stay down, once such memories formed in the artificial grass blades, it will be difficult to get the grass fibers back to stand up. The point now is that if the grass lawn to be with heavy traffic and uses consistently, it might not be necessary to bring the fibers up standing, it is not hurt anything to let the grass stay laying down. It is the basic law of physics, when heavy and consistent forces given to anything, the forms will change given time. I kept mentioning “heavy and consistent activities” here as such will form the new memories for the grass fibers, don’t forget that the grass has been manufactured with the original memories: so under regular or minor usage, the grass might not have the opportunity to form. All our artificial grass products are designed and manufactured with superb resiliences and the fibers will be standing up for the longest possible time given regular traffic and usage, most of our grass installations look absolutely gorgeous after many years.
