As we’re now fast approaching winter, plenty of people are opting for artificial grass for an all-weather solution. Unlike its natural counterpart, synthetic grass stays green and patch free all year round. At K9, we get asked a lot about how to keep the grass looking pristine so, to help, we’ve put together the following guide on how to maintain artificial grass.
Remove any leaves
If you have a lot of trees, keep on top of falling leaves where possible. A quick sweep once or twice a week will keep your lawn looking clear.
To maintain artificial grass, brush regularly
As well as clearing any leaves/debris, it’s good to give your artificial turf a regular sweep. This will keep the blades upright and maintain that natural look. All useful when maintain artificial grass.
Be wary of hot items
Whether you’re a keen BBQer during the summer months or just like a fire now and then, it’s important to keep hot items away from the grass. Falling ash or sparks can melt the blades causing damage. This can be fixed but it’s advised to just prevent it happening in the first place.
Heavy objects
When it’s hot, we all love a good swimming (paddling) pool but the weight can sometimes damage its base. Natural grass can perish whereas artificial grass just needs a good brush. If you can, change the position of the pool or heavy object so it’s not impacting the same area of grass.
