Artificial lawns give you a attractive, hassle-free option for outdoor spaces. With a few simple practices, you can make sure your synthetic grass stays green all year long. Here are some practical guidelines to help you maintain the best artificial lawn in Phoenix.
DO’S FOR MAINTAINING YOUR ARTIFICIAL LAWN
REGULAR CLEANING
REMOVE DEBRIS
Remove leaves, small sticks, and other debris with a leaf blower or a brush. This simple effort will maintain the appearance of your artificial grass and reduces buildup that can affect the turf’s surface.
GENTLE RINSING
Every few weeks, gently hose down your lawn with water to wash away dir. This regular grooming keeps your synthetic grass looking clean and prevents any accumulation of dirt.
INFILL INSPECTION
Your infill supports the synthetic turf fibers and influences the feel of your lawn. Regularly check for uneven areas or compaction. If you notice any issues, contact your installer for assistance.
SEASONAL CARE
WINTER CARE
Use a plastic shovel to carefully remove any snow, avoiding metal shovels that could harm the turf. Let melt over time to prevent harm to the synthetic grass fibers.
SUMMER CARE
On particularly hot days, a light misting can lower the temperature, making it more comfortable for use.
KEEPING A CLEAN SURFACE
QUICK SPILL CLEAN_UP
Clean up spills as soon as possible using a diluted soap and water mixture to avoid stains. Avoid harsh chemicals that might damage the artificial grass fibers.
EDGE MAINTENANCE
Even though artificial grass is designed to reduce weed growth, it's important to inspect the perimeter of your lawn. Get rid of any weeds right away to maintain a clean appearance.
PET WASTE MANAGEMENT
For Phoenix homeowners with pets, promptly pick up pet mess and rinse the area to prevent odors. Regular maintenance makes sure your artificial grass for pets is a clean and odor-free space.
DON’TS FOR ARTIFICIAL LAWN CARE
HARSH CHEMICALS
Avoid harsh chemicals, pesticides, or grass-killing sprays, as they can degrade the turf materials. Opt for safe, turf-friendly products recommended by your supplier.
HEAVY LOADS
Refrain from putting heavy things on your lawn, as they could crush the turf and affect the infill. If you have to, use protective padding to evenly distribute the weight.
SHARP OBJECTS
Don’t use sharp tools or objects on your synthetic grass to prevent punctures and tears. Carefully handle maintenance equipment to preserve the integrity of your lawn.
WHEN TO CALL THE PROFESSIONALLS
While regular upkeep can be managed independently, some circumstances might require professional service. If you encounter severe problems like uneven infill or torn or damaged areas, specialized professional turf services such as deep cleaning can repair your lawn’s fresh condition.
