Artificial Turf

Artificial turf requires minimal maintenance compared to natural grass. Regular brushing to keep the fibers upright, removing debris with a leaf blower or a gentle rake, and occasional rinsing to remove dust or pollen are generally all that's needed. For pet owners, promptly removing pet waste and rinsing the area can help maintain hygiene and odor control.

The longevity of artificial turf depends on the quality of the product and the intensity of its use. On average, high-quality artificial turf can last between 15 to 25 years. Proper maintenance can extend its lifespan.  Choosing the right make and style of turf for your specific application will also make a big difference in longevity.  Synthetic turf can come in vary degrees of durability depending on the specific use.
