Maintaining the Great Look of your Artificial Turf

Your new synthetic grass lawn is guaranteed to look great and be as durable as possible, but like regular grass, it will need a little bit of maintenance every now and then to keep its fresh appearance. Much like carpet, synthetic turf – despite being as resistant to damage and stains as possible – can be damaged if blemishes or debris are left on its surface, and can also suffer from flowering seeds or the emergence of weeds.

Below, we’ve listed three simple ways to ensure that your new lawn looks as good as the day it was installed! Read through and share your thoughts and other ideas with us in the comments section!

Clear Debris as Quickly as Possible!

Fallen branches and other similar organic materials possess seeds, and these seeds can lay themselves into the jute of your artificial turf. When this happens, unsightly weeds can start to form, which could potentially damage the meshing of your turf by breaking through the jute. It is advisable to remove fallen branches or other similar debris as quickly as possible, and in seasons of high pollen activity to hose down the area to prevent seeds from erupting.

Removing Cooking Oils

The artificial grass in has been designed to be as stain resistant as possible, and has been extensively tested to ensure it continues to look fresh and vibrant no matter what is thrown on it. However, cooking oils and grease from barbecues can pose a problem to your lawn. If grease is not removed quickly enough, it can clump the fibers of your lawn together, creating unsightly black spots. There are many grease removal products that can help with this.

Ongoing Raking

Like regular grass, synthetic turf requires a little care and devotion every now and then to maintain its amazing appearance. Raking your artificial lawn is the easiest way to not only ensure the fibers remain strong, but also to remove hardened organic seeds, weeds and other debris items that could harm your artificial grass. Raking your lawn is also advisable if the area receives heavy foot traffic, and can in the majority of cases, refresh the fibers and keep them upright.
