Artificial lawns provide a beautiful, hassle-free option for outdoor spaces. With a few essential practices, you can ensure your synthetic grass stays green year-round. Here are some effective guidelines to help you maintain the best artificial lawn in Toronto.
DO’S FOR MAINTAINING YOUR ARTIFICIAL LAWN
REGULAR CLEANING
REMOVE DEBRIS
Remove leaves, twigs, and other debris with a leaf blower or a brush. This will help maintain the appearance of your artificial grass and removes buildup that could affect the surface of the turf.
GENTLE RINSING
Every few weeks, gently hose down your lawn with water to rinse away dust. This step keeps your synthetic grass looking fresh and prevents any issues with dirt.
INSPECT THE INFILL
Infill supports the grass blades and impacts the texture of your lawn. Regularly check for uneven areas or low spots. If you see any issues, seek professional help for help.
SEASONAL CARE
WINTER CARE
Use a plastic shovel to carefully remove any snow, avoiding sharp tools that could tear the turf. Allow ice to melt over time to prevent harm to the synthetic grass fibers.
SUMMER CARE
On especially hot days, a light misting can lower the temperature, making it cooler for use.
KEEPING A CLEAN SURFACE
QUICKLY CLEAN UP SPILLS
Deal with spills immediately using gentle detergent and water to avoid stains. Avoid harsh chemicals that might harm the artificial grass fibers.
EDGE MAINTENANCE
While artificial grass is engineered to reduce weed growth, it's important to inspect the edges of your lawn. Get rid of any weeds right away to maintain a well-kept appearance.
PET WASTE MANAGEMENT
For Toronto homeowners with pets, promptly pick up droppings and rinse the area to avoid bad smells. Regular maintenance makes sure your artificial grass for pets is a fresh and pleasant space.
DON’TS FOR ARTIFICIAL LAWN CARE
HARSH CHEMICALS
Avoid strong cleaners, pesticides, or grass-killing sprays, as they can degrade the turf materials. Use mild, turf-friendly products recommended by your supplier.
HEAVY LOADS
Prevent putting heavy objects on your lawn, as they could compress the turf and damage the infill. If you must, use padding to protect and ensure the wieght is evenly distributed.
SHARP OBJECTS
Do not use sharp tools or implements on your synthetic grass to avoid puncturing or tearing the turf. Handle maintenance equipment with care to preserve the integrity of your lawn.
WHEN TO CALL THE PROFESSIONALLS
While routine maintenance can be managed on your own, some situations might require professional assistance. If you encounter major problems like uneven infill or tears in the turf, professional services such as deep cleaning can restore your lawn’s like-new condition.
