Many people believe artificial turf is completely maintenance-free. In reality, proper turf care goes far beyond simple cleaning. With regular and correct maintenance, a high-quality Turflory lawn can maintain its appearance and performance for over 10 years. This guide explains how to maintain artificial turf effectively and protect your long-term investment.
Why Is “Maintenance-Free” Not Equivalent to “Zero Maintenance”?
The idea of “maintenance-free” often leads to misunderstandings.
Artificial turf does not require mowing or watering, but it still needs basic care to prevent:
• Fiber flattening
• Infill loss or uneven distribution
• Seam separation over time
Understanding this zero maintenance myth is the first step toward extending turf longevity.
Quarterly Maintenance Checklist
Performing simple checks every few months helps maintain consistent performance and appearance.
Infill supports grass fibers and improves resilience. Over time, foot traffic and weather can reduce infill levels.
Quarterly infill top-up helps:
• Maintain blade uprightness
• Improve shock absorption
• Extend turf life
A routine seam check ensures that joints and edges remain secure. Early detection prevents minor issues from becoming costly repairs.
Preventing Compaction: The Importance of Regular Brushing
Brushing turf is one of the most effective ways to prevent compaction.
Regular brushing:
• Redistributes infill evenly
• Restores fiber position
• Maintains a natural look
This simple step plays a key role in preserving long-term performance, especially in high-traffic areas.
Special Care in Winter and Summer
Seasonal maintenance is essential for protecting turf under extreme conditions.
• Summer: Remove debris promptly and rinse the surface if needed to reduce heat buildup
• Winter: Avoid using metal tools on frozen turf and remove snow gently
Proper seasonal maintenance prevents unnecessary stress on the turf backing and fibers.
