Artificial Grass Maintenance Services Company San Diego
ARTIFICIAL LAWN MAINTENANCE
Artificial turf requires a very minimal level of maintenance. There are some key points to note when installing synthetic turf to keep it looking beautiful throughout the years. Having the turf installed right the first time around makes a difference, and hiring a professional artificial grass maintenance company helps keep it looking new throughout its lifespan.
Similar to natural outdoor spaces, artificial turf tends to become untidy with debris, dust and leaves. Whether it’s synthetic pet turf for a dog run or a turf playground for you children, debris can be common in these areas. This may be more common during the fall and spring seasons. There are several options to get rid of this debris. You can use an air-blower, broom or rake to remove the debris on your artificial turf. It is also possible to use a shop vacuum as well.
Pets can also get your artificial lawns messy. But no need to worry: regular rinsing and an enzyme odor neutralizer help keep pet areas clean and fresh. By using a hose, you can quickly wash away pet stains or waste.
There is also the tendency that some areas of your turf will become decompressed due to the human weight. To prevent this, use a push broom or rake to brush these areas on your lawn at least every three months to maintain its beautiful look.
A simple maintenance routine
For most lawns, artificial turf maintenance comes down to four habits:
- Clear debris. Remove leaves and dust with a blower, broom, rake or shop vacuum, more often in fall and spring.
- Rinse. Hose the turf down when there is little rain, and about once a week in areas pets use.
- Brush busy areas. Brush high-traffic areas against the grain with a synthetic-bristle broom at least every three months so the blades stay upright. Never use wire or metal bristles.
- Spot-clean spills. Act quickly with household detergent in warm water, then rinse with clean water.
What to avoid
- Harsh chemicals on pet stains.
- Sharp-edged furniture, idling vehicles, cigarettes and open flames on the turf.
- Concentrated sunlight reflected onto the turf from windows or other surfaces.
