ARTIFICIAL GRASS
MAINTENANCE and CARE
Our turf is easy to maintain, but a little care goes a long way. Simply brush it occasionally to keep the blades upright, rinse off pet areas as needed, and remove debris like leaves or twigs. Following these simple steps helps your turf stay clean, fresh, and looking like new for years to come.
🧹 1. Brushing Your Turf
Over time, foot traffic and weather can cause the blades of turf to flatten.
Brushing helps:
-
Fluff up flattened areas
-
Maintain a natural look
-
Redistribute infill (if used)
How to do it:
Use a stiff-bristled broom or power brush and sweep against the grain of the turf blades. Focus on high-traffic areas, such as walkways, patios, or pet zones.
How often:
Once a month or as needed.
🧼 2. Cleaning and Rinsing
Dirt, dust, and small debris can build up over time. Keep your turf clean with occasional rinsing.
-
Rinse with water to remove dust or pollen
-
Pick up solid debris like leaves or twigs using a rake or leaf blower
-
Remove stains (like drinks or food) using a mix of water and mild soap
AVOID HARSH CHEMICALS, BLEACH, OR HIGH-PRESSURE WASHERS TOO CLOSE TO TURF
🐾 3. Pet Waste Care
Artificial grass is pet-friendly, but it still needs some TLC:
-
Solid waste: Remove with a scoop or bag as you would on natural grass
-
Urine: Rinse the area with water weekly
-
Deodorize: Use a turf-safe enzyme cleaner if needed
Pro Tip: A quick rinse after hot days helps reduce odor buildup.
🍂 4. Seasonal Maintenance
Fall:
Remove fallen leaves to prevent matting or mildew. A leaf blower or plastic rake works best.
Winter:
Turf can handle snow! Let it melt naturally. If needed, use a plastic shovel (not metal) to gently remove snow without damaging the fibers.
Spring/Summer:
Check infill levels, rebalance if needed, and brush turf in shaded areas that get less natural wear.
🛠 5. Quick Repairs and Protection
-
Avoid parking vehicles or heavy furniture directly on turf for long periods
-
Watch for burns: Avoid fire pits or hot grills directly on turf
-
Fix minor damage early. If seams separate or edges lift, contact your installer before it worsens
-
✅ Final Tips for Turf Longevity
-
Don’t use sharp objects on turf
-
Keep sticky substances (like gum or adhesives) away
-
Limit exposure to reflective surfaces or window glare (it can melt turf in extreme cases)
Store heavy items off-turf when not in use
💚 Enjoy the Benefits!
With minimal effort, your artificial turf stays:
-
Green all year
-
Free from mud, weeds, and mowing
-
Pet- and family-friendly
-
A beautiful, lasting investment in your outdoor space
WHAT DOES BRUSHING MEAN?
Brushing your turf is a simple way to keep it looking fresh and natural. Over time, foot traffic or weather can cause the blades of artificial grass to lay flat. By using a stiff-bristled broom or a power brush, you can fluff the blades back up and keep your lawn looking its best.
Why should I brush my turf?
-
Helps the blades stand upright and look more realistic
-
Evens out the infill (if used), supporting proper drainage
-
Cleans off light debris like leaves or pet hair
-
Keeps high-traffic areas from looking worn down
How often should I do it?
We recommend brushing your turf once a month, or whenever you notice areas starting to flatten—especially after lots of use or weather changes.
What should I use?
A stiff push broom works great for small areas. For larger yards, you can use a power brush, but it’s not required.
Regular brushing is a quick and easy way to protect your investment and keep your turf looking beautiful year-round!
HOW TO BRUSH YOUR ARTIFICIAL GRASS
-
Choose your tool:
-
For most yards, use a stiff push broom with plastic or nylon bristles.
-
For larger areas or efficiency, opt for a power brush or motorized power broom.
-
Move against the grain:
Begin in one corner and sweep in small sections, brushing against the direction of the blade lay to lift flattened fibers. -
Even out the infill:
As you brush, any sand, rubber granules, or other infill materials will redistribute, helping the grass settle upright. -
Remove surface debris:
Brush periodically to clear leaves, pet hair, and light dirt. For heavy debris, rake first and then broom. -
Recommended frequency:
-
Monthly for regular use areas
-
After heavy traffic, pets, rain, or snow, to revive flattened zones.
✅ Why Brushing Matters
-
Keeps turf looking natural and lush by restoring upright blades
-
Prevents worn or shiny patches in high-traffic zones.
-
Supports infill distribution, improving cushion and drainage. Removes light debris, helping maintain a clean appearance.
