How To Take Care of your Artificial Grass in Summer

While barbecues, swimming, lounging and picnics are just a few activities that come to mind when you think of warmer days, nothing screams summer quite like a lush and vibrant lawn. Thankfully, artificial turf is designed to ensure you enjoy the lush beauty of a green lawn year-round, even on hot days.

But just like you, as temperatures rise, your synthetic turf requires a little care and a good spritz. Here are a few ways to maintain turf during the summer months.

Brush Your Turf

Because artificial grass is not no maintenance but low-maintenance, regular cleaning is one of the most important steps to ensuring your turf remains fresh during summer. While we all enjoy a good “lazy summer day,” leaving organic matter and debris can affect the durability and aesthetics of your artificial grass. Make it a habit to immediately pick up any pet waste to help reduce odours, and use a leaf blower or plastic rake to help remove leaves and other debris. However, make sure you avoid using any metal garden tools as this can damage your turf. Keep your lawn in tip-top shape with our maintenance products.

Keep it Cool

You’re not the only one that needs to cool down as temperatures soar. While you’ll never burn your feet when walking on your turf during those scorching summer days, it does heat up if installed in direct sunlight. Cool down the surface temperature by lightly spraying your artificial grass with water. Thankfully, synthetic turf has the advantage of not requiring a lot of water, so a quick spritz is all you need to ensure your turf is cool and fresh.

Do Some Weed Control

If your artificial lawn has been installed correctly, weeds can’t grow. While weed growth is rare, it’s not impossible. For example, bees or birds drop seedlings onto the grass which can cause growth. When you notice a weed or two growing on your artificial grass, you can simply pluck it off. This is because weeds that grow on synthetic turf cannot easily take root.

Inspect for Damage

While artificial grass is designed to be durable and withstand heavy foot traffic, it’s still important to inspect your lawn for any damage. Periodically inspect your grass for any signs of wear, such as tears or loose seams and call your local Easigrass™. It’s essential to get this done as soon as possible to prevent further damage and extend the lifespan of your turf.
