If you’ve invested in artificial grass, you probably want to make sure it stays looking good for as long as possible. Luckily, there are a few things you can do to help keep your turf looking great for years to come. One of the easiest ways is to inspect it regularly so that if any problems arise, they can be addressed before they get out of control.
It’s a good idea to check your artificial grass every year or two
It’s a good idea to check your artificial grass every year or two to make sure it’s in good shape. That way, you can catch any damage and fix it before it gets worse. Here are some things to check for:
- Damage
- Wear and tear
- Stains (if there are any)
- Discoloration (if there are any)
- Mold/mildew (if there is any)
Sometimes, you might notice some spots
Sometimes, you might notice some spots where the blades of grass are breaking or curling up. This is a sign that the artificial grass needs to be replaced. The causes could be many but one of them is when you have pets in your house who like to play on your lawn and dig holes in it every now and then.
If you see this type of damage, get it fixed immediately
If you see this type of damage on your artificial grass, you need to get it fixed immediately. Not only is it dangerous for children and pets, but if left unattended, the damage will get worse and have to be replaced sooner than expected.
If there are natural brown spots on your artificial grass, this is normal
If there are natural brown spots on your artificial grass, this is normal and not something that needs to be replaced.
Over time, the color of artificial grass will fade and turn a golden brown colour as well as develop other natural variations in coloration. This is known as “aging” and is not something that you need to worry about or do anything about – it’s just part of how real grass works! The best thing you can do if you have these kinds of issues with aging is simply clean them with a brush or vacuum cleaner or hire an artificial grass service provider.
However, if the browning is uniform across your whole landscape, then replace it
If the browning is uniform across your whole landscape, then it may be time to replace your turf. This means if you are seeing patches of grass that are uniformly browning in different places on the same day and at different times of day, then this could indicate a problem with your artificial grass installation.
Artificial grass can last for a very long time (up to ten years), but you should still inspect it
