Tips for maintaining an Artificial Grass Turf

The scarcity of land and high expenditure on the maintenance of natural sports surfaces have compelled many local and school level sports authorities to opt for artificial grass turf. Artificial grass turf can be used for playing multiple games and also as outdoor or indoor synthetic athletic surfaces.

Here are some great suggestions and tips what you can do to protect your artificial grass turf. First, try to get a maintenance log from an artificial grass turf installer or supplier. This will help you keep a record of the maintenance of your artificial sports surface.

Keep litter or trash cans near the concrete sports area so that spectators or users can dispose of papers, cans, and other materials rather than throwing them onto the turf.

Develop a strategy to keep off materials such as twigs, leaves or food wrappers and other kinds of wind blown debris off the lawn, as they get crushed into the turf and contaminate the turf or lawn’s infill.

A hedge or fence around the synthetic lawn will help you keep away some wind blown materials off your turf.

Regular inspection of the lawn is very important and it needs to be checked for unusual tear or damage.

Make sure you pay special attention to places which receive lots of traffic, for instance, check the goal mouths and corner kick areas of soccer pitches; check the edges of infields on softball and baseball fields; and also check between the hash marks on football fields to keep up the adequate levels of infill materials. A well maintained synthetic lawn or pitch is sure to last for many years.
