Artificial lawns offer a lush, hassle-free answer for outdoor spaces. With a few basic practices, you can be sure your synthetic grass stays green throughout the year. Here are some useful do’s and don’ts to help you maintain the best artificial lawn in Jacksonville.

DO’S FOR MAINTAINING YOUR ARTIFICIAL LAWN

REGULAR CLEANING

REMOVE DEBRIS

Clear leaves, sticks, and other debris using a leaf blower or a soft broom. This routine helps maintain the appearance of your artificial grass and prevents buildup that can damage the surface of the turf.

GENTLE RINSING

Periodically, lightly rinse your lawn with a spray nozzle to rinse away dir. This practice keeps your synthetic grass looking fresh and prevents any accumulation of dirt.

INSPECTING INFILL

Your infill supports the grass blades and influences the texture of your lawn. Regularly check for uneven spots or compacted areas. If you see any issues, contact your installer for help.

SEASONAL CARE

WINTER CARE

Use only plastic shovels to carefully remove any snow, avoiding metal shovels that could damage the turf. Allow ice to melt naturally to prevent harm to the synthetic grass fibers.

SUMMER CARE

On excessively hot days, sprinkling water can reduce the temperature, making it cooler for use.

KEEPING A CLEAN SURFACE

QUICKLY CLEAN UP SPILLS

Address spills immediately using a diluted soap and water mixture to avoid stains. Avoid harsh chemicals that might damage the artificial grass fibers.

EDGE MAINTENANCE

Though artificial grass is designed to reduce weed growth, it's important to inspect the perimeter of your lawn. Remove any weeds immediately to maintain a clean appearance.

PET WASTE MANAGEMENT

For Jacksonville homeowners with pets, quickly remove solid waste and rinse the area to prevent odors. Regular maintenance makes sure your artificial grass for pets is a fresh and pleasant space.

DON’TS FOR ARTIFICIAL LAWN CARE

HARSH CHEMICALS

Steer clear of strong cleaning agents, pesticides, or herbicides, as they can damage the turf materials. Opt for mild, turf-friendly products approved by your installer.

HEAVY LOADS

Prevent placing heavy things on your lawn because they could crush the turf and damage the infill. If you must, use protective padding to distribute the weight evenly.

SHARP OBJECTS

Do not use sharp tools or objects on your synthetic grass to stop tears or punctures. Carefully handle maintenance equipment to preserve the state of your lawn.

WHEN TO CALL A PROFESSIONAL

While simple upkeep can be managed without help, some situations may require professional assistance. If you encounter significant issues like uneven infill or tears in the turf, professional services like deep cleaning can restore your lawn’s pristine condition.
