6. SEASONAL MAINTENANCE TIPS

Adjust your care routine to accommodate fluctuating weather conditions throughout the seasons. Prepare for intense rain or snow by ensuring proper drainage to avoid matting. Protect the turf during extremely high or low temperatures, taking measures to maintain your turf’s longevity. Read our cold weather guide for more tips. Annual professional maintenance is also recommended.

7. ENSURING SAFETY FOR PETS

Regularly check for sharp items or debris that can injure your pets during their play. Verify the absence of toxic substances in fertilizers or pesticides that could be used in the nearby area.
