Artificial grass is beneficial in reducing water use, is easy to care for and can save on mowing. It does require special care in keeping clean, treating it against weeds and keeping it free of animal waste. This ensures that it will last a long time.
Weeds
Weeds should never appear on your artificial grass lawn because the membrane applied beneath the synthetic surface will prevent undesirable plant life from growing. spraying the lawn with a mix of clove oil with vinegar before and during the rainy time of year and before spring is recommended.
Dirty
When the artificial grass becomes dirty, some clients hose the turf down but you can simply leave the rain to clean it naturally.
Organic debris, such as bird and animal waste and pollen, can cause problems with artificial grass. Clean the grass using a rake or blower to remove this kind of debris. Avoid putting feeders for birds and squirrels near the grass.
High traffic
The artificial grass may appear disfigured if the pile becomes flat. In this case you can brush it upright or infill with kiln-dried sand to solve the problem. Disfigurement tends to be of concern for high traffic areas and long pile height astro turf can be used to prevent any such occurrences.
