As we’ve already said, artificial grass is pretty low maintenance. But there are a few measures you can take to make sure it lasts as long as possible.
First, if you’re finding that weeds are still poking through the drainage holes of your artificial lawn, you can invest in a weed barrier or membrane to prevent them from coming through.
Pick any weeds as soon as you see them and brush or rake the grass regularly. Simply pull the tops off. Don’t dig around with a trowel or fork as this will ruin your artificial turf.
Once or twice a year, you could also use weed killer. Just make sure it’s a water-based solution to ensure it doesn’t damage your artificial turf.
Secondly, it’s important to repair any holes or tears in your fake lawn as quickly as you can. This will also help to ensure the lifespan of your artificial grass.
Is your artificial grass looking a little flat and lacklustre? Simply brush the blades of grass in the opposite direction. You could also top up the layer of sand infill.
