Artificial lawns provide a beautiful, low-maintenance option for yards. With a few basic practices, you can make sure your synthetic grass remains inviting year-round. Here are some useful tips to help you maintain the best artificial lawn in Metro New York.

DO’S FOR MAINTAINING YOUR ARTIFICIAL LAWN

REGULAR CLEANING

REMOVE DEBRIS

Remove leaves, sticks, and other debris by using a leaf blower or a brush. This routine helps maintain the aesthetic of your artificial grass and reduces buildup that might affect the surface of the turf.

GENTLE RINSING

From time to time, gently spray your lawn with a spray nozzle to rinse away dir. This practice keeps your synthetic grass looking vibrant and prevents any issues with dirt.

INSPECT THE INFILL

Your infill supports the turf fibers and impacts the texture of your lawn. Occasionally check for uneven areas or compacted areas. If you have any issues, contact your installer for help.

SEASONAL CARE

WINTER CARE

Use only plastic shovels to carefully remove any snow, avoiding sharp tools that could damage the turf. Let thaw on its own to prevent harm to the synthetic grass fibers.

SUMMER CARE

On particularly hot days, a quick spray of water can lower the temperature, making it cooler for use.

KEEPING A CLEAN SURFACE

PROMPT SPILL CLEAN-UP

Address spills as soon as possible using a mild soap and water solution to prevent staining. Avoid strong detergents that might harm the artificial grass fibers.

EDGE MAINTENANCE

Though artificial grass is designed to prevent weed growth, it's important to monitor the edges of your lawn. Get rid of any weeds right away to maintain a neat appearance.

PET WASTE MANAGEMENT

For Metro New York homeowners with pets, promptly pick up droppings and rinse the area to prevent odors. Regular maintenance makes sure your artificial grass for pets remains a clean and pleasant space.

DON’TS FOR ARTIFICIAL LAWN CARE

HARSH CHEMICALS

Avoid harsh chemicals, pesticides, or grass-killing sprays, as they can weaken the turf materials. Instead, use safe, turf-friendly products approved by your installer.

HEAVY LOADS

Avoid placing heavy things on your lawn because they can compress the turf and affect the infill. If you have to, use protective padding to distribute the weight evenly.

SHARP OBJECTS

Avoid using sharp tools or implements on your synthetic grass to avoid punctures and tears. Carefully handle maintenance equipment to preserve the state of your lawn.

WHEN TO CALL A PROFESSIONAL

While simple upkeep can be managed without help, some circumstances could require expert attention. If you encounter severe problems like uneven infill or tears in the turf, expert repairs like deep cleaning can repair your lawn’s original condition.
