Aside from spills and stains, it’s important to brush your artificial turf regularly after the first 12 weeks have passed. We recommend monthly brushing to keep your turf looking its best and as much like real grass as possible. Brushing against the grain of the turf in high-traffic areas can prevent your fake grass from matting.
Finally, try not to store items on your artificial lawn because this can cause discoloration or wear and tear to the turf. Consider a deck, patio, or walkway to create usable spaces with minimal impact on the fake lawn. Avoid sharp objects such as cleats or furniture legs, which can damage your newly-installed lawn. Keep a clear definition between pools, firepits, grills, water features, gardens or landscaping and your artificial turf as often as possible.
With proper care, artificial turf can last up to 20 years. Keep in mind that weather and use can decrease the lifespan of your fake lawn, however. If you do notice that high-traffic areas look a little rough sooner than that, you can replace portions of your fake grass to keep your lawn looking beautiful and inviting.
