Artificial / Synthetic Turf Q & As
What is Artificial or synthetic turf?
Artificial or synthetic turf is a surface of synthetic fibers made to look like natural grass.
Both artificial and synthetic turf as a search term essentially mean the same thing and can be used interchangeably.
What is the life expectancy of synthetic turf or Artificial Turf Last?
A perk of artificial turf is its longevity. With average use and maintenance, you can expect to enjoy your synthetic grass for at least 20 years, a worthwhile investment that essentially pays for itself in half that time.
Is artificial turf high maintenance?
Artificial grass is extremely low maintenance, but performing occasional TLC will help you maximize the lifespan of your turf installation.
Is artificial grass safe for dogs?
Yes, artificial turf is absolutely safe for pets. Fake grass for pets is much more resilient than traditional lawns as it can withstand any wear and tear inflicted by the dog's claws, paws, or nails.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE TIPS:
- Clean Up Debris
- Use a leaf blower (on low) or a rake to clear away the debris. Just keep in mind that if you plan on using a rake, make sure it has plastic bristles specifically for artificial grass – metal bristles can cause long-term damage to your turf blades!
- A Little Water Goes a Long Way
- While you won’t need to water your synthetic grass every day, a little watering won’t hurt it, either. With artificial grass, you can use water to keep it clean while staying compliant with any strict drought restrictions you may have.
- Spraying your artificial grass weekly will prevent dust, dirt, pollen and other contaminants from building up in your landscaping. Additionally, you can ensure that your infill stays evenly distributed by giving your turf some light watering!
- Maintenance for Your Furry Companions
- If you’re worried about how pet waste will affect your synthetic turf, allow us to put your mind at ease. Picking up solid waste from pet turf is easier on artificial grass than it is on natural grass – cleanup could not be more straight forward!
- After you’ve picked up your pet’s waste, hose down the affected area and continue to rinse your turf weekly to prevent odors from accumulating. For maximum results, invest in antibacterial synthetic grass infills that kill odors at the source.
- Life Happens, but Stains Don’t Have To
- We want you to enjoy your artificial grass without worrying about what falls on it. Our synthetic turf is stain-proof – just use a little water to rinse off any spills!
- For tougher stains, you can use homemade non-abrasive cleaning solutions to keep your turf clean. Try mixing mild detergent with lukewarm water or even equal parts vinegar and water to get your lawn looking great once more!
