Homeowners opting for artificial grass usually choose this installation because of how easy artificial grass is to care for. Synthetic grass remains lush and green all year round, regardless of the season or the temperature. That said, even something as low-maintenance as residential artificial grass could use a little TLC now and then.
With no watering, mowing, raking, seeding, or fertilizer required, you can safely get rid of most of your lawn maintenance equipment after your artificial grass installation. However, you’ll want to hang on to a few essential items. Strictly speaking, residential artificial grass doesn’t need any special care, but to keep it looking its best and prolong the life of your investment, there are a few fundamental maintenance issues you’ll want to save on your to-do list.
Residential artificial grass is a highly durable, low-maintenance product that looks great all year. But to keep it that way, there are a few seasonal maintenance tips all homeowners should follow:
o When the leaves start piling up, it’s important to clear them out, even from your artificial grass; this helps prevent matting of the blades and issues with drainage. Using a soft-bristle broom or a specialty article grass rake, clear away accumulated leaves and debris as you would for a natural lawn.
o Give your turf a little brush with a cross-brush to fluff out any areas that may have become matted under heavy foot traffic.
o Rinse your grass to rinse away debris, dust, and, if you have pets, animal waste.
o Continue to clear away debris as needed
o Check to ensure that the nails holding your artificial lawn are secure
o Allow snow to melt naturally. If you need to clear snow away from a footpath, use a broom or warm water to melt
the snow for heavier snow. Avoid using any salt or gravel, which could create problems with the sub-base and drainage.
o If you need to shovel snow, stick to a plastic shovel, staying at least 4 inches away from the artificial grass.
o Professional artificial grass installation should be able to weather anything winter throws at it. However, spring is a good time to survey your artificial grass, looking for any signs of damage.
o Brush your lawn against the grain to help remove hidden debris and freshen it up
o During the summer months, continue to remove debris as needed. If your artificial grass is experiencing heavier traffic, consider brushing it every few weeks.
Another good idea for residential artificial grass owners is to consider investing in professional deep cleaning and sanitization, especially for families with kids or pets. Professional cleaning helps remove the fur, dirt, and debris that regular brushing misses while eliminating odour-causing bacteria and germs.
Seasonal artificial grass maintenance requires minimal effort and provides maximum benefit by extending the life of your artificial lawn. If you need more tips on keeping your grass looking great, ask your artificial grass installation team.
