General Maintenance Tips
Taking care of your artificial turf landscaping has never been easier! Say goodbye to mowing, fertilizing and excessive watering to keep your lawn looking as green as the day you had it installed. Artificial grass maintenance is quick, simple and, most importantly, effective!
It goes without saying that pet owners will have to take care of their synthetic grass at a higher level than properties without as much foot traffic – however, with these four simple steps, taking care of your artificial turf will be the most effortless thing you can do to keep your lawn looking great.
Clean Up Debris
Debris such as leaves and branches not only compromises your artificial turf’s aesthetics but also poses a serious safety risk. Minimize trips and falls by clearing any debris on your lawn as soon as you see it.
Use a leaf blower or a rake to clear away the debris. Just keep in mind that if you plan on using a rake, make sure it has plastic bristles specifically for artificial grass – metal bristles can cause long-term damage to your turf blades!
A Little Water Goes a Long Way
While you won’t need to water your synthetic grass every day, a little watering won’t hurt it, either. With artificial grass, you can use water to keep it clean while staying compliant with any strict drought restrictions you may have.
Spraying your artificial grass weekly will prevent dust, dirt, pollen and other contaminants from building up in your landscaping. Additionally, you can ensure that your infill stays evenly distributed by giving your turf some light watering!
Maintenance for Your Furry Companions
If you’re worried about how pet waste will affect your synthetic turf, allow us to put your mind at ease. Picking up solid waste from pet turf is easier on artificial grass than it is on natural grass – cleanup could not be more straightforward!
After you’ve picked up your pet’s waste, hose down the affected area and continue to rinse your turf weekly to prevent odors from accumulating. For maximum results, invest in antibacterial synthetic grass infills that kill odors at the source.
Life Happens, but Stains Don’t Have To
We want you to enjoy your artificial grass without worrying about what falls on it. Our synthetic turf is stain-proof – just use a little water to rinse off any spills!
For tougher stains, you can use homemade non-abrasive cleaning solutions to keep your turf clean. Try mixing mild detergent with lukewarm water or even equal parts vinegar and water to get your lawn looking great once more!
