Artificial lawns offer a beautiful, hassle-free solution for yards. With a few simple practices, you can be sure your synthetic grass remains green throughout the year. Here are some practical do’s and don’ts to help you maintain the best artificial lawn in Las Vegas.
DO’S FOR MAINTAINING YOUR ARTIFICIAL LAWN
REGULAR CLEANING
REMOVE DEBRIS
Remove leaves, small sticks, and other debris using a leaf blower or a push broom. This will help maintain the look of your artificial grass and prevents buildup that can affect the turf’s surface.
GENTLE RINSING
Every few weeks, lightly rinse your lawn with a spray nozzle to rinse away dir. This practice keeps your synthetic grass looking clean and prevents any build up of dirt.
INFILL INSPECTION
Infill supports the turf fibers and impacts the softness of your lawn. Periodically 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 snow and ice, avoiding metal shovels that could tear the turf. Let melt over time to prevent damage to the synthetic grass fibers.
SUMMER CARE
On particularly hot days, a quick spray of water can cool the surface, making it cooler for use.
KEEPING A CLEAN SURFACE
QUICK SPILL CLEAN_UP
Clean up spills as soon as possible using a mild soap and water solution to avoid stains. Avoid harsh cleaners that might harm the artificial grass fibers.
EDGE MAINTENANCE
While artificial grass is designed to minimize weed growth, it's important to monitor the perimeter of your lawn. Pull any weeds right away to maintain a neat appearance.
PET WASTE MANAGEMENT
For Las Vegas homeowners with pets, immediately pick up pet mess and rinse the area to stop smells. Regular maintenance makes sure your artificial grass for pets remains a clean and comfortable space.
DON’TS FOR ARTIFICIAL LAWN CARE
HARSH CHEMICALS
Steer clear of strong chemicals, pesticides, or herbicides, as they can weaken the turf materials. Use safe, turf-friendly products approved by your supplier.
HEAVY LOADS
Avoid placing heavy things on your lawn because they might compact the turf and disrupt the infill. If you have to, use protective padding to distribute the weight evenly.
SHARP OBJECTS
Do not use sharp tools or implements on your synthetic grass to avoid puncturing or tearing the turf. Handle maintenance equipment carefully to preserve the state of your lawn.
WHEN TO CALL THE PROS
While simple upkeep can be managed on your own, some circumstances could require professional service. If you encounter major problems like uneven infill or tears in the turf, specialized professional turf services like deep cleaning can restore your lawn’s like-new condition.
