Tips For Maintaining Your Artificial Grass
By replacing natural grass with synthetic turf, you can forget about ever having to mow or weed your yard again. However, there are a few things you need to do to keep your artificial grass in great shape. While traditional sod requires laborious upkeep on the weekend, these easy steps will extend the life of your synthetic lawn and improve its aesthetic value.
Artificial Grass Maintenance
To complement our outside maintenance services, Cabo Brick and Stone also want to advise our customers on how they can independently take care of their landscaping. Listed below are some guidelines to follow to maintain your artificial lawn:Rinse The Grass
If you have an artificial lawn, you won't have to water it as often, but that doesn't mean you can ignore it. It's a good idea to give your grass a good rinsing now and then to remove the dust and pollen that has settled on it. Watering the grass every so often will also aid in keeping it firmly planted.Rake Leaves and Debris
Depending on your neighborhood, your lawn's surroundings might include trees, woods, or gardens. All these elements can potentially bring in litter, such as leaves and twigs. Purchasing a rake is a wise decision if you value a clutter-free yard. Avoid using steel/metal rakes since they may scratch your grass. The most effective tools are a plastic rake or leaf blower.Brush The Grass Down
In addition, you may need to brush your artificial grass regularly, depending on how often people walk on it, with a plastic bristle brush (avoid wire or metal since it might harm your turf). By regularly brushing your grass, you can keep it from sinking or flattening, and you can also encourage the bristles to stand straight.Manage Spills
Fast action is required in the event of a spill on the grass. Artificial grass often does not become stained. But the type of spill may necessitate further efforts. In a spray bottle, combine water and natural liquid soap. You can also use baking soda or a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar to neutralize odors. Your grass will look as good as new with quick action and the correct cleaning chemical.Freeze Clean
Although it's unlikely, certain sticky substances might accidentally make their way onto your grass. It might be sap dropping from a nearby tree. Gum off people's shoes is a real possibility in high-traffic areas. When applied to these specific issues, a canister of refrigerant can freeze the flaws, making them easy to remove.Maintaining an artificial lawn is far easier than a natural one. Yet you may prolong the period during which your grass seems greener by removing dirt, cleaning up spillage and pet messes, and washing it off sometimes.
