This is easily accomplished with a regular turf broom

Speaking of vacuuming, have you ever run one over a rug and noticed that it seems to become plusher? That’s because the rug fibers have been pressed flat by foot traffic and are pulled back up by the brushing and suction of the vacuum. Artificial turf works the same way. The fibers can become pressed flat over time from traffic, so periodic brushing is usually needed to return the grass to its like-new state.

This is easily accomplished with a regular turf broom, but a power broom can be of tremendous help as well. Power brooms are compact, easy to use, and make the work go a lot faster.

If you choose the right turf and infill amount for the level of traffic you expect, you won’t need to do much brushing. Once every few months could be sufficient, or even once a year. It certainly won’t be anywhere as frequent or intensive as mowing.

If your yard has leaves or other debris, a leaf blower on a moderate setting will be sufficient to remove it. Just be sure not to move too much of the infill around. Purchase Green’s push broom previously mentioned is another great tool for debris clean-up. However, never use a metal-bristled rake, as this will damage the backing of the turf.
