When to Tend to Your Lush Lawn: A Guide on How to Maintain Artificial Grass

 Artificial Grass Abu Dhabi is used in gardens and parks for people who want the look of a well-kept lawn without the work involved. It is also popular for city dwellers with shaded gardens where grass doesn't grow well; for carpeting urban rooftops and balconies; for families with children or pets who don't like a muddy mess on their shoes, and to help the elderly or disabled maintain independence in the garden. It can also be found at schools and nurseries to provide a safe environment for children to play, learn and socialise.

A Lot of good reasons to use synthetic turf

While there are a lot of good reasons to use synthetic turf, there are some potential downsides to consider as well. For example, some types of artificial grass are made from polypropylene, which has been shown to release toxins into the air and water supply. Some artificial grass can also be abrasive to skin, leading to painful skin abrasions in the event of a fall.

A good quality synthetic lawn will last a long time

A good quality synthetic lawn will last a long time, but regular maintenance is important to keep it looking its best. It's recommended to clean spills and stains as soon as they occur, using a household detergent or a small amount of ammonia (be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the exact product you are using). The lawn should be swept regularly to remove dirt and debris, and to avoid tripping hazards. In addition, the area should be hosed down periodically to wash away accumulated dirt.

Lawn, and to prevent them from rooting in the soil beneath

It's recommended to use a weed barrier to reduce the likelihood of weeds growing through the artificial lawn, and to prevent them from rooting in the soil beneath. The weed barrier should be laid prior to the installation of the fake grass, and should cover as much area as possible to ensure that it is effective.

Installing synthetic turf is a big job, and one that is not recommended for DIY installation. Getting the job done properly requires specialized equipment that most homeowners don't have access to, and there are parts of the process - such as seaming the Artificial Grass Abu Dhabi together - that it is impossible to do correctly without expert help.

Prior to the laying of the synthetic grass

Prior to the laying of the synthetic grass, the ground should be graded and levelled with a rake, wheelbarrow, and a hand tap or compactor. It's also a good idea to spread a layer of 50mm - 70mm base material over the entire area before proceeding with the turf laying, to increase stability and help drainage.

Conclusion

Once the ground has been graded and levelled, it should be soaked with a hose or sprinkler to allow the base material to become saturated. Then it's a good idea to compact the base using a hand tap or vibration plate, as this will ensure that the surface is smooth and level before proceeding with the turf. Once the base is compressed, the synthetic grass can be laid over it, overlapping the seams by several inches. The overlapping seams can be secured with landscaping staples, which should be driven into the turf and then hammered down into the base.
