Artificial lawns give you a lush, easy to care for solution for outdoor spaces. With a few essential practices, you can ensure your synthetic grass remains lush year-round. Here are some useful do’s and don’ts to help you maintain the best artificial lawn.

DO’S FOR MAINTAINING YOUR ARTIFICIAL LAWN

REGULAR CLEANING

REMOVE DEBRIS

Remove leaves, twigs, and other debris by using a leaf blower or a brush. This routine helps maintain the look of your artificial grass and prevents buildup that might damage the turf’s surface.

GENTLE RINSING

Every few weeks, lightly rinse your lawn with water to wash away dir. This practice keeps your synthetic grass looking clean and prevents any issues with dirt.

INFILL INSPECTION

The infill supports the turf fibers and affects the feel of your lawn. Occasionally check for uneven spots or compaction. If you see any issues, contact your installer for assistance.

SEASONAL CARE

WINTER CARE

Use only plastic shovels to carefully remove any snow, avoiding metal shovels that could harm the turf. Allow ice to melt over time to prevent harm to the synthetic grass fibers.

SUMMER CARE

On particularly hot days, sprinkling water can reduce the temperature, making it more pleasant for use.

KEEPING A CLEAN SURFACE

QUICK SPILL CLEAN_UP

Clean up spills immediately using gentle detergent and water to maintain appearance. Avoid harsh cleaners that might break down the artificial grass fibers.

EDGE MAINTENANCE

Though artificial grass is engineered to minimize weed growth, it's important to monitor the borders of your lawn. Remove any weeds right away to maintain a clean appearance.

PET WASTE MANAGEMENT

For homeowners with pets, promptly remove solid waste and rinse the area to stop smells. Regular maintenance ensures your artificial grass for pets is a fresh and odor-free space.

DON’TS FOR ARTIFICIAL LAWN CARE

HARSH CHEMICALS

Avoid harsh chemicals, pesticides, or grass-killing sprays, as they can harm the turf materials. Opt for safe, turf-friendly products recommended by your manufacturer.

HEAVY LOADS

Avoid putting heavy items on your lawn, as they could compress the turf and damage the infill. If you have to, use protective pads to evenly distribute the weight.

SHARP OBJECTS

Do not use sharp tools or objects on your synthetic grass to stop puncturing or tearing the turf. Handle maintenance equipment with care to preserve the state of your lawn.
