Artificial Grass Maintenance: The Complete Yearly Care Guide
Synthetic turf is low-maintenance — not no-maintenance. Here's the simple monthly + seasonal routine that keeps your lawn looking new for 15+ years.
- Pick up debris (leaves, sticks, pet waste). - Rinse pet zones with water.
- Brush against the grain with a stiff-bristle synthetic broom to keep blades upright. - Rinse the entire lawn with a hose to flush dust and pollen. - Spot-clean any stains with diluted dish soap and water.
- Power-brush high-traffic areas to redistribute infill. - Top up infill if you can see the backing or the blades feel limp. - Inspect seams and edge nailing. - For pet owners: deep-rinse with a turf-safe enzyme deodorizer.
