3 Things You Should Avoid Doing On & Around Artificial Turfs



Most high-quality artificial turfs are highly durable and very easy to maintain. They also look gorgeous for years regardless of the seasonable changes!

However, your artificial turf is not bullet-proof. And even though it saves you from its ongoing maintenance, there are some things that you should look to avoid.

This post discusses 3 ‘NOT To Do’ things in and around your artificial turf.

“Never Use Harmful Chemicals.”

The first thing to avoid when dealing with artificial turfs is not to use harmful chemicals. Majority of artificial grass in Mandurah (if not all) are made out of nylon, polypropylene or polyethene properties. In other words, each of them are petroleum-based components, which means they should never be exposed to the harsh chemicals or any oil-based paints that can damage or degrade the turf surface.

If by chance some chemicals do fall over the turf, it can cause discolouration or permanent stains- which might last for a long time!

“Don’T Expose It To Open Fire Or Burning Charcoal.”

Never forget that your synthetic turf is of plastic and so, even if they won’t burn or flare up with exposure to burning charcoal, it will make it melt.

Ric Forbes- a professional landscaper in Mandurah, says clearly-

“When installing a firepit or a permanent barbecue place, be sure to add a concrete layer in-between the pit and the artificial surface. This way you can protect your artificial turf surface from hot coal and sparks which can accidentally land on the surface and damage it.”

The wise thing to do would be to set your portable gas or charcoal grill on a patio and keep it away from the grassy surface. Doing so will ensure the grease splatters or any escaping piece of hot food doesn’t land upon the lawn damaging a spot.

“Never Punch Your Artificial Grass Surface.”

Never use stakes or anything pointy to punch holes into your artificial grass surface. As doing so will damper the turf’s mesh backing. Furthermore, there are other items such as sharp twigs, tree limbs or other debris that may cut open the mesh fabric and ruin it.

So, after a storm, collect all debris and put it away from the surface. Then inspect the surface to check for possible issues or blemishes.

Keep these in mind and ensure your installed synthetic turf in Mandurah doesn’t get exposed to them. It will ensure your artificial surface appears beautiful year-after-year!
