How To Ensure Your Artificial Grass Looks Great for Years To Come
Synthetic grass landscaping is one of the best investments you can make for your home or business. Especially in hot, desert-like climates, having eternally verdant artificial grass will make your yard look lush year-round and even increase your property value as a result.
However, as with any investment, you need to properly care for your synthetic grass in order to protect its value. If you want to get the most for your money and make sure your turf installation looks great for years to come, follow these three simple turf grass installation and artificial turf maintenance tips.
Choose the Right Artificial Turf Product
One of the most important factors in maintaining long-lasting artificial grass is choosing the right product for your specific needs. There are hundreds of artificial turf varieties available, each designed for different purposes and foot traffic levels. It’s crucial to research and understand the specific characteristics of a product you’re considering before committing to the installation. Keep in mind factors such as anticipated foot traffic, desired maintenance level, and unique functionality before making a purchase.
If you install a synthetic grass option that isn’t well-suited to your home or business’s unique needs, you may find that it suffers more wear and tear than you were expecting. Consult with your installer during the initial stages of the process to ensure that you choose an artificial grass product with the right pile height, face weight, and functionality for what you need long-term.
Keep Up Routine Artificial Grass Maintenance
While artificial turf doesn’t require the same level of maintenance as natural grass, it’s still important that you perform regular upkeep to ensure its longevity. Like most home investments, the more maintenance you put into it, the more you’ll extend its lifespan and the less likely it is that you’ll need repairs prematurely.
For at-home turf maintenance, remove large debris and pet waste daily, and clean any spills or stains as soon as possible. Rinse down your lawn once a week to remove dust and dirt, and cross-brush the area monthly using a brush with synthetic bristles. Avoid any maintenance tools with metal prongs, as these can damage your turf blades and necessitate repair or replacement.
