Artificial lawns give you a attractive, easy to care for option for gardens. With a few simple practices, you can ensure your synthetic grass remains lush throughout the year. Here are some practical do’s and don’ts to help you maintain the best artificial lawn in Fresno.
DO’S FOR MAINTAINING YOUR ARTIFICIAL LAWN
REGULAR CLEANING
REMOVE DEBRIS
Clear leaves, twigs, and other debris by using a leaf blower or a push broom. This will help maintain the aesthetic of your artificial grass and prevents buildup that could affect the turf’s surface.
GENTLE RINSING
From time to time, gently spray your lawn with water to rinse away dir. This regular grooming keeps your synthetic grass looking fresh and prevents any build up of dirt.
INSPECT THE INFILL
The infill supports the synthetic turf fibers and influences the texture of your lawn. Periodically check for uneven spots or low spots. If you notice any issues, contact your installer for help.
SEASONAL CARE
WINTER CARE
Use a plastic shovel to carefully remove any snow, avoiding metal shovels that could damage the turf. Let melt over time to prevent damage 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
PROMPT SPILL CLEAN-UP
Address spills immediately using gentle detergent and water to prevent staining. Avoid harsh cleaners that might damage the artificial grass fibers.
EDGE MAINTENANCE
While artificial grass is engineered to prevent weed growth, it's important to check the edges of your lawn. Remove any weeds promptly to maintain a well-kept appearance.
