It cannot be denied that any homeowner is not going to have a hard time maintaining a winning lawn with the help of fake turf. Even though the product still requires some caring, the good news is it's not as challenging and costly to maintain as the real deal. Below are some very simple tips on how synthetic grass can remain looking great for so many years ahead:

Brush the fibers to keep them upright. It's perfectly fine to walk or step on fake sod. However, time will come that some areas may end up flattened especially where there's heavy traffic. Dealing with the issue can be done with the help of a brush or broom with soft bristles. Rearrange the fibers in all directions to ensure that everything looks well-manicured.

Remove organic matter as soon as you spot them. Don't wait for fallen leaves, flowers and others from plants or trees around to decompose on the artificial turf because this will promote bacterial growth and attract insects too. Also, it will encourage the growth of weeds as well as molds. It is a good idea to remove anything organic the moment you have enough free time.

Weed killer use may be done to maintain an eye-catching lawn. It's not unlikely for pesky weeds to find their way to the surface after some time. They may be removed manually or the homeowner may choose to apply the necessary product to have them exterminated. Commonly, using the weed control product recommended by the distributor has to be done once a year.

Surprises left behind by your pets should be removed immediately. Once you are done picking up the solid parts using a scooper or any other method you prefer, it's recommendable for the area to be cleaned with a mixture of warm water and detergent. To ensure no harsh chemical is left on the plastic fibers, it is a good idea to hose down the sanitized area afterwards.

Just about anything that can spoil the artificial turf's good looks should be removed immediately. Taking advantage of the lovely weather by having a picnic often causes parts of the lawn to end up covered in sauces, soft drinks, ice cream, coffee and others. It's true that the plastic fibers are designed to resist staining. Still it is suggested to have those unwanted items on the surface to be removed right away. The same mixture of warm water and detergent may be used for cleaning, followed by a quick rinsing.

The infill should be rearranged most especially after being displaced by a downpour. Completing the task may be done with the help of a broom or brush with stiff bristles. Adding more infill where it is needed helps in keeping the lawn looking lush and manicured.

The above will allow your lawn with synthetic turf to impress the neighbors as well as visiting relatives and friends. While there are certain things that need to be done for the product's maintenance, you will find that they are nothing compared to regularly watering and mowing real grass. Keeping fake sod in an excellent state won't eat up much of your time and energy.
