Sanitization is most often an artificial turf maintenance concern for pet owners but can apply to anyone with a synthetic lawn that is frequently used. Most of the time, routine cleaning can be accomplished with a specially-designed cleaning agent and a garden hose.
When odors do appear, the cause can almost always be traced back to an improper infill. If you’re a pet owner, choosing an antibacterial pet grass and an antibacterial infill will go a long way toward keeping your lawn smelling fresh. Additionally, it’s important to make sure the area of installation drains properly, allowing rainwater or your Turf Bomb to effectively flush odorous microbes away. To that end, the area needs to have a grade, even if only a slight one, as well as the appropriate subbase mixture tightly compacted. Taking these precautions while planning and installing your grass will make cleaning a breeze.
Weeding
Installing artificial turf doesn’t always result in a weed-free yard, but still significantly reduces the amount of weeding needed.
Do weeds grow through artificial turf? Yes, they sometimes do. And when they do, they’re just as annoying as when they appear on a natural lawn. However, artificial lawns make it much easier to control weeds. The secret, yet again, is in the installation process. Weed barrier is the best first defense against weeds. It’s a filament installed beneath the grass that blocks the growth of any plant.
