We’re well into spring, flowers are blooming, and summer is on the horizon. It’s the perfect time to give your lawn and landscaping some love and attention. Your synthetic grass will only need some minor maintenance, leaving you time for more fun. Artificial turf may not grow like natural grass or require weekly mowing or trimming; however, you can keep your synthetic turf plush and beautiful with just a few minutes of care. With a few simple steps, you can make sure your turf looks fresh, stays clean, and is ready for all the warm weather activities you have planned with family and friends. Keeping your synthetic grass well-maintained also helps protect your investment and ensures that it lasts for years to come. We have some tried and true tips for you here at SYNLawn of Northeast Ohio.

Clear Debris and Inspect the Surface

Debris collects over the winter, and the first thing you’ll want to do is remove all the dead leaves, twigs, and anything else that has collected on your yard. A leaf blower is the easiest, but a plastic rake will work, too! We suggest staying away from metal rakes, since they can damage the turf fibers. Inspect the surface as you clear the debris to look for any loose seams, lifted edges, or uneven areas that might need to be repaired. Addressing small issues now can prevent bigger and more costly headaches from developing later.

Brush the Turf

Once you’ve cleared the debris and ensured that your turf is all intact, it’s time to brush it. Heavy snow, ice, and foot traffic might make the grass look all crushed and flat, which isn’t very appealing when the sun’s shining on it. Your leaf blower or rake may have already done the trick, or you may need to use a stiff-bristled broom or a power brush to bring it back to life. Brushing the turf in different directions helps to give it that natural, fresh appearance. It shouldn’t take much time but sure makes a big difference in how your turf looks and feels.

Other Benefits of Synthetic Grass

Here at SYNLawn, we use Envirofill as the infill for your synthetic grass. It’s a silica sand infill coated with acrylin resin and infused with the antimicrobial technology of Microban. The infill helps prevent clumping, fights bacteria and other pathogens, and improves its durability. While other companies may suggest you check for areas where the infill looks low or has shifted, ours is meant to stay in place and resist compaction of shifting. The infill we use also helps prevent staining and unpleasant odors…even when you have pets.

Another step that others suggest that you can just skip is to check the drainage situation. With SYNLawn, you can be confident that your artificial grass will always drain at about the rate of 1,200 inches per hour. We use SuperDrain+™ technology and the EnviroLoc™ backing system to ensure a consistent water flow so that you don’t have to worry about puddles. Your kids and pets can go outside even after the heaviest rain without tracking mud inside afterwards.

Get Ready for Fun in the Sun!

Now that your turf is clean and fluffed, it’s ready to work as hard as you need it to for the summer. Whether you love having people over and playing backyard games, like cornhole and pickleball, or you would rather lounge by the pool, your turf will look and perform like you need it to. You just need to clean it off occasionally to keep it looking green and lush.

Prepping your artificial turf for spring is a quick and rewarding process. By clearing off the winter debris and brushing the blades, you’ll help extend the life of your synthetic grass and keep it looking as amazing as the day we installed it. SYNLawn of Northeast Ohio allows you to enjoy the benefits of a lush, low-maintenance yard that stays vibrant every season without wasting your time, money, and energy mowing, watering, or fertilizing.
