Green All Year Round: Synthetic Turf Installation and Care Tips
Synthetic turf is a popular alternative to natural grass, requiring less maintenance while providing a lush, green appearance. However, we at Diamond Pavers know that you must install and maintain it well to ensure that your synthetic turf installation lasts as long as possible.
Here are some installation and care tips to keep in mind when it comes to artificial grass:
Proper Installation
The first step in ensuring the longevity of your synthetic turf is to have it installed correctly. A professional installation team will ensure that the base is level and properly compacted, that the seams are sealed correctly, and that the turf is installed with the correct amount of infill. Proper installation ensures that your synthetic turf will remain stable, level, and safe for years to come.Regular Cleaning
Regular cleaning is essential to keep your synthetic turf looking and performing at its best. Remove any debris, such as leaves, sticks, and other items that may fall on the turf. Use a leaf blower, a rake, or a broom to clean the surface regularly. The longer debris sits on the turf, the more it will weigh it down and the harder it will be to remove. In addition to regular cleaning, it is also essential to remove any pet waste promptly.Proper Drainage
Synthetic turf is designed to drain but ensuring that your installation has proper drainage is still important. If water is allowed to pool on the turf's surface, it can lead to mold, mildew, and even damage to the turf's backing. To ensure proper drainage, the installation team prepares the base with proper drainage, and the turf is installed with the correct slope.Limit Foot Traffic
While synthetic turf is designed to withstand heavy foot traffic, limiting foot traffic as much as possible is still essential. Consider adding a pathway to protect your turf if you have a high-traffic area. If you must use your turf for activities such as sports or games, rotate the location of the movement to avoid overuse of one site.Annual Maintenance
Annual maintenance is essential to keep your synthetic turf in top condition. A professional maintenance team can inspect your turf, identify any issues, and make necessary repairs. They can also refresh the infill, clean the turf, and remove any debris that may have accumulated.By following these installation and maintenance tips, your synthetic turf can provide you with years of enjoyment while maintaining its beauty and performance.
