Artificial lawns give you a attractive, easy to care for option for gardens. With a few essential practices, you can ensure your synthetic grass stays lush all year long. Here are some useful tips to help you maintain the best artificial lawn in Tucson.
DO’S FOR MAINTAINING YOUR ARTIFICIAL LAWN
REGULAR CLEANING
REMOVE DEBRIS
Clear leaves, small sticks, and other debris using a leaf blower or a push broom. This routine helps maintain the look of your artificial grass and removes buildup that could harm the surface of the turf.
GENTLE RINSING
From time to time, gently hose down your lawn with a spray nozzle to rinse away dir. This regular grooming keeps your synthetic grass looking clean and prevents any accumulation of dirt.
INSPECTING INFILL
The infill supports the grass blades and impacts the feel of your lawn. Periodically check for uneven spots or compacted areas. If you notice any issues, consult your installer for help.
SEASONAL CARE
WINTER CARE
Use a plastic shovel to carefully remove snow and ice, avoiding metal shovels that could tear the turf. Allow ice to thaw on its own to prevent harm to the synthetic grass fibers.
SUMMER CARE
On especially hot days, a quick spray of water can reduce the temperature, making it more comfortable for use.
KEEPING A CLEAN SURFACE
QUICK SPILL CLEAN_UP
Handle spills immediately using a diluted soap and water mixture to maintain appearance. Avoid harsh chemicals that might damage the artificial grass fibers.
EDGE MAINTENANCE
Even though artificial grass is designed to prevent weed growth, it's important to check the edges of your lawn. Get rid of any weeds immediately to maintain a neat appearance.
PET WASTE MANAGEMENT
For Tucson homeowners with pets, quickly pick up pet mess and rinse the area to stop smells. Regular maintenance ensures your artificial grass for pets is a sanitary and comfortable space.
