Albergrass artificial turf care and maintenance
In Albergrass we are manufacturers of quality artificial turf. Our models are made to last and do not require arduous care and maintenance tasks. In this article we tell you the care and maintenance of Albergrass artificial turf to keep it perfect throughout the year.
How to maintain Albergrass artificial turf
The maintenance of Albergrass artificial grass is very simple. Like all synthetic grass, you don’t need to waste your free time with the mower. Synthetic grass does not grow, so you don’t have to mow it.
Nor does it require an irrigation system to be installed; artificial turf does not need to be watered as natural grass does.
Depending on the time of the year, the maintenance of artificial turf will be different. We tell you about it season by season.
Artificial turf maintenance in summer
We start with the season that is about to arrive. In summer, surfaces covered with artificial turf are subject to more traffic.
At this time of the year, you tend to spend more time in your garden, terrace, swimming pool… This more usual transit implies that the artificial turf suffers more your footsteps. So it is convenient that from time to time you make a brushing of the lawn to recover its verticality and look perfect.
During this brushing, you can take advantage of the opportunity to remove any leaves or dirt that may have settled on the lawn.
In addition, summer brings days with high temperatures. On those days of intense heat, cooling the artificial turf with water allows you to create a cooler environment and lower the temperature to walk barefoot on the lawn in a more comfortable way.
Artificial turf care in autumn
If you have deciduous trees in your garden, autumn will cover your artificial lawn with leaves and pruning debris. In these cases, a blower will make it easier for you to keep your lawn clean and free of debris. A rake with plastic tines will also help you to clean the area, an important detail to avoid damaging the lawn.
To make your task easier. When pruning the trees and plants in your garden, if you are going to generate a large amount of debris, it is very useful to cover the artificial turf with plastic or mesh to make it easier and faster to clean up the debris.
Depending on the amount of traffic your artificial turf will endure in autumn, brushing to restore its verticality will be more or less frequent.
In winter, don’t worry about anything
The winter season is the least maintenance season. The cold weather makes us enjoy the outdoors less, so your garden does not suffer too much traffic. In this article we tell you how bad weather affects artificial turf.
Albergrass artificial grass withstands low temperatures very well. Even if it freezes or snows, you don’t have to worry. The drainage system is responsible for removing excess water. If you want to remove the snow you can do it with a shovel, but without going too deep to avoid damaging the lawn.
Tasks for spring
In spring it’s time to get back on our artificial turf and enjoy the outdoors.
It is advisable to thoroughly brush the green mantle so that it recovers its verticality. It is also important to check the drains and drainage elements to clean them and leave them free of leaves and debris.
Spring is the season for pruning evergreens. You can cover the garden with a tarp to make it easier to remove the debris.
Your artificial turf always perfect
During the artificial turf care tasks you can take the opportunity to observe its condition (joints, seams, sand infill …), and thus leave it completely ready to open the good weather season with an impeccable garden.
