Make Sure You Care For Your Artificial Grass

The odds are pretty good that if you have bought artificial grass then you have invested quite a bit of money into the project. This further means that you will be very keen to ensure that you take good care of your new artificial grass. There are some specific ways to go about taking care of your grass and although the manufacturers claim that their grass is maintenance free, this is not altogether true, especially if you are planning on keeping it looking as nice as possible.

It is advisable to give the artificial grass a sweep with a stiff brush every week or two to not only remove any debris that is lying on the surface but to also ensure that the grass fibres are standing up. Over time the artificial grass fibres can become crushed and flattened due to the constant foot traffic that it may be subject to. Sweeping the grass freshens it up and helps to make it look fresh and new. The sweeping will also remove the majority of the dirt and debris that may have settled into the pile.

The occasional hosing down of the grass will also ensure that it is kept clean with any potential bacteria build ups getting flushed through the matting and into the soil below. This helps the artificial grass perform in a similar way to real grass.

The maintenance tasks required for artificial grass are not as onerous as they are for real grass but it is still necessary to carry out something or else your big investment is going to be wasted quite quickly.
