How To Maintain Putting Green Turf

By Katy Kline


A few years ago putting green turf was used by golfers only who wanted to do some practice without going to the golf course. But now, this type of artificial grass is used by many homeowners as well. It is an ideal replacement for the natural grass especially when you live in an area where it gets difficult to maintain natural greenery all the times because of worst weather conditions.

Although this type of turf is artificial but it looks like the real thing this is the reason why more and more people are installing them in their homes. They are easy to maintain but you need to take care of them on a regular basis if you want to increase its durability and look. Make sure that you sweep the turf regularly so that nothing gets stuck in between. Its best to wipe off excess moisture that can be trapped inside the putting after it rains.

To keep the fibers fresh looking and strong, you need to brush the artificial turf every now and then. You would feel the difference once you start to brush it regularly because it would appear to be more fresh looking and clean as compared to before when you were not brushing it.

Arrangement or leaf blower could likewise help in keeping up the simulated grass. When you circulate air through with the assistance of a blower, it disposes of soil particles and other sort of substances that were stayed inside the strands of the engineered putting. Circulating air through additionally helps in making it look more cushy and lavish.

Vacuuming once or twice a month can also help in keeping it fresh and new. The synthetic fibers start to look very dirty after sometime but if you vacuum it frequently there is no chance that it would get dirty again. Never vacuum while its damp or wet due to rain because then you won't be able to get rid of any dirt or grime.

You could also try scrubbing and conditioning the turf as it will keep it clean and tidy. Its best if you follow this process regularly so that it never gets dirty at all. You need to buy scrubber and conditioner that is suitable for using on synthetic grass so its ideal to buy an industrial or heavy duty machine. Never try using products that are not suitable for the artificial grass because you might damage it instead of cleaning it.

Artificial grass can sometimes be a bit expensive as compared to natural grass therefore you should put your effort to keep it in good condition for longer. If you ignore taking care of it then after a few years it will look awful as its quality deteriorates and you will have to re-install the grass as this would be the only option left to you.

Therefore putting green turf is gaining popularity among people who want to keep their garden lush and green all year round. It is definitely an easy to maintain option as compared to actual grass but still you must properly take care of it otherwise the quality might not remain the same after some time.
