Keep artificial grass looking fresh by clearing debris and giving the surface a quick rinse on a regular schedule. Begin by using a leaf blower or gently raking away leaves and dirt, then wash the turf with a hose to eliminate stains and dust.
For polypropylene varieties, perform frequent raking to restore the turf’s natural look. This proactive routine ensures your artificial grass remains vibrant, functional, and low-maintenance all year long.
Artificial grass is engineered to deliver a durable solution for your yard, and its lifespan is between five and 10 years under proper installation and care. In high-traffic areas, its useful lifespan decreases to three years, while turf used primarily for visual appeal endures beyond 10 years. Regular upkeep and adherence to manufacturer guidelines preserve its performance and appearance consistently throughout its service life.
When installed over a solid subbase and weed barrier, artificial grass all but eliminates weed growth. If weeds occur, remove them by hand or apply a targeted herbicide, and reinforce the area by installing landscape fabric or using turf with a non‐perforated backing. This strategy minimizes weed intrusion while ensuring your turf remains pristine and visually appealing.
