Artificial Grass Maintenance

The understand dripping system is a great idea: you can have the pipe buried under the turf base with water pointing up into the base rack: water will travel upwards then spread down to minimize chances of “channels” being created to harm the integrity of ground/base support of turf.

From what you are describing, I suspect the “shrinking” is due to some excessive heat which can be window or other object reflections or nearby heat sources like fence or pavements or objects being placed on the turf. Turf is like carpet which can be cut and patched, if you only have a 4”x4” area to be fixed and you still have any leftover turf from your original installation, you can cut the bad section out and patched with a new piece.

Absolutely, people put furnitures on artificial grass surface all the time. Couple of reminders: once the turf being pressed down, there might be marks left which is just like you place furnitures on the carpet. Also, if you live in a very hot area, you will need to be careful NOT to have metal touching the grass as the metal can melt your turf.

It will be very hard to tell without knowing the details. Critical numbers such as average daily hours of traffic, weather conditions, sunshine time, type of traffic are needed to make analysis and determinations of how long the artificial grass will last: if the turf is designed to last 20 years with an average of daily 2 hours traffics, theoretically it will last much less if twice traffic is given on the daily basis. So it will be helpful if you can let us know some detail data about the usage, weather conditions and traffic so we can provide more accurate feedback and make proper artificial grass recommendations.

I hope the paint on your artificial grass grass surface is water based, if so, you can try to use power washer to rinse the paint off. It is always recommend that you try to remove the paint as soon as it gets onto the turf, while it is still wet, water cleaning it should be much easier. You will need to be careful using chemicals on the turf trying to remove oil based paint as certain paint removers might be abrasive which can damage the turf fibers, read the instructions carefully or contact the paint remover company to make sure it won’t hurt the turf before using it.

As far as the leaves on the artificial grass, it is the same as leaves on the real grass lawn. So most of the time, you will need either rake or blow the leaves off the artificial grass surface, unfortunately the wind won’t do the job.

Yes, technically artificial turf can be reused for the similar applications as your original installation. It would be obvious that the sizes have also to big enough to cover the new area, sometimes you might have to add additional infills once you reinstall the turf.

Depends on your usage of the artificial grass, there is no set recommendations on how often you should wash clean your turf surface. So the best approach will be only to wash cleaning the turf when needed. Please feel free to call (877 796 8873) or email us ([email protected]) if you have any other questions, thank you.
