artificial grass maintenance

 

Artificial grass really is maintenance free as you no longer need to waste your weekends or evenings mowing, watering or fertilising it. No more tackling dry patches and bald patches with various lawn feeds and chemicals.

No more weeding or adding weed killing additives. Anyone with a shady garden will know of the headaches their real grass can cause, but this is no problem for our artificial turf.

 

In fact the only thing you need to do is keep it clean, if you happen to have pets, falling leaves or messy children

 

The artificial grass is cleaned of dust or bits everytime it rains, and its effective drainage system just runs the water away. If you do have pets, then any mess can simply be scooped up and hosed down

 

In high traffic areas, it is common for the blades to flatten over time, but this can easily be remedied by gently brushing the fibres back into position using a soft brush or broom, brushing them in random directions is recommended to create a more natural look. Another problem in high traffic areas is the ground being compacted, this is usually due to poor preparation or unskilled fitters. To remedy this we recommend brushing the infill into the effected area until the desired level is found.

 

The synthetic turf should be fitted by a qualified contractor to guarantee the best wear a lastability of the turf, at Choice Floors we spend most of the time preparing the ground before we lay the grass ensuring a longer life for the turf.

 

All of the above procedures including removing debris, checking depressions in high traffic areas and artificial grass cleaning are all jobs that the homeowner can simply undertake, although on occasion when the damage is on a larger scale it is advisable to contact a professional to come out and repair the effected areas, this is also recommended if you would like to change the style of the lawn.
