Artificial Turf Maintenance: Keeping Your Lawn Looking New
February 12, 2024

Artificial turf has become one of the most popular landscaping choices for homeowners who want a beautiful lawn without the hassle of constant watering, mowing, and fertilizing. While turf installation offers a low-maintenance alternative to natural grass, it still needs a little care to stay looking its best year after year.

At W5LC Landscape, we’ve installed turf for countless homeowners, and we know what it takes to keep it in top shape. Here are some simple tips for maintaining your artificial turf and protecting your investment.

Why Choose Artificial Turf?

  • Always Green: No brown spots, no matter the season.
  • Durable: Built to handle kids, pets, and heavy traffic.
  • Water-Saving: Ideal during Texas summers and water restrictions.
  • Low Upkeep: No mowing, reseeding, or fertilizing.

Simple Turf Care Tips

1. Brush Regularly

Over time, foot traffic can flatten turf fibers. Use a stiff broom to lift them up and keep your lawn looking full.

2. Rinse the Surface

A quick hose rinse removes dust, pollen, and debris. This is especially important after dry spells.

3. Spot Clean Pet Areas

For pet owners, turf is easy to maintain. Hose down frequently and use pet-friendly cleaners as needed.

4. Clear Debris

Leaves and twigs should be removed with a blower or light rake to keep turf clean.

5. Protect Against Heat

Shade high-use areas with umbrellas or pergolas to make turf more comfortable underfoot in summer.

How Long Does Turf Last?

With professional installation and minimal care, artificial turf can last 15–20 years — making it a smart long-term investment.

Why Professional Installation Matters

Turf must be installed on a prepared base with proper drainage. At W5LC Landscape, we ensure your lawn looks natural, drains well, and stands the test of time.
