Perhaps the biggest selling point to artificial turf is the lack of lawn care maintenance it requires. After installing an artificial grass yard, you no longer need to worry about routine maintenance like mowing the yard, aerating your soil, fertilization schedules, or watering your yard with a sprinkler.
Instead, you’re blessed with a lush green yard that remains that way all year long.
However, there are still some artificial turf maintenance items to check off your to-do list to prolong the lifespan of your turf. In general, most of these tasks fall under the general category of care and maintenance.
Chores like cleaning off debris or fallen leaves depending on the season can help keep your synthetic turf clean and unmatted, while periodically brushing or raking your yard (especially in high traffic areas), can prevent your turf blades and infill from becoming matted.
Artificial turf customers may also need to wash sections of their turf in the event of a stain. Avoid using hard chemicals like bleach, however. A simple water and soap mixture will do the trick.
Depending on your climate, you may also need to monitor the temperature outside, as some areas of the world become extremely hot in the summer months, which can damage your turf. Periodically cooling your turf down with water helps alleviate this issue.
