1. Low-Maintenance, Not No-Maintenance
Your artificial grass turf lawn may never need mowing or watering, but that doesn't mean it's completely no-maintenance. To keep your synthetic grass looking its best, there are some simple tasks that you can do in the spring to bring the pile back to life and keep it looking its best.
2. Wash
Now's the time to give your lawn a good hose down to get rid of any debris left behind by winter storms and to tidy up any remaining dead leaves, twigs and dog poo. One of the advantages of your artificial grass turf is that it's free-draining, so if water doesn't clear, remove any blockages.
3. and Brush up
Once your lawn has dried, it's time to brush up the pile with a good stiff garden brush. Brush in one direction only, against the grain. This will pick up the pile and give your lawn a neat and tidy appearance.
4. Less Cleaning, More Fun
Now's the time to plant up your borders for summer colour and to attract birds and bees into the garden. Get the garden furniture out, but make sure you use protective pads on the feet of any metal furniture to prevent damage, and move your furniture often so it doesn't break down the pile of your grass.
You may also find that the porous membrane that allows your lawn to drain freely can be a breeding place for weeds. Use an organic and non-toxic product to get rid of seedlings before they become a problem.
