Do you know those factors which can hurt your artificial grass?

I know this situation is the worst case, so you don’t want to talk about it. Yet let’s imagine for a second that a nearby barbecue has melted a patch of your lovely new artificial grass. This is a terrible thought, I know.

The good thing, however, is it CAN be repaired. This is something that an artificial grass specialist can do with great care. The only problem is that the patch can look very noticeable-at at least first. That is because the patch grows older.

Also, the same product may no longer be in stock, depending on when you purchase your grass. The other thing is that the substance may be the same, but it comes from a different batch, so it’s not exactly the same. Well, then you can rely on Abu Dhabi artificial grass by all means.

That’s why, when it’s just a tiny area that needs patching, it’s still smoother – and looks better. It’s better to cover as the patched area sets in – which finally will be achieved with a bit of a footfall.

Can you even repair your own artificial grass?

Not approved. When you have lost a patch of your artificial grass, please don’t try to repair it yourself. Instead, always seek guidance from a professional in artificial grass, because this can make a lot of difference. Preferably the one who had the artificial grass first built.

The field would be carefully joined by an artificial grass expert, just as if they were connecting two bits of grass with glue or tape. We would then brush it as often as needed to blend in and look as natural as possible.

As a responsible artificial grass installer, we still leave some cut-offs from our clients’ grass to preserve them. That means that if there is a problem, we’ll be sure to use the same grass from the same batch to cover the lawn and make it look much less noticeable.

How to prevent damage to your new lawn

Remember, when to open fire, and hot objects come into contact, your artificial grass will melt.

These might include:

  • Barbecues
  • Fire pits
  • Cigarettes
  • Fireworks
  • Motorized machinery (hedge trimmers etc.)

Where possible, you should try to avoid all of the above – or at least the measures taken to protect the grass from coming into contact with these things.

It will help preserve your investment so that you can continue to reap its full value.

Regular maintenance helps prevent problems

Artificial turf needs little maintenance, but keeping it clean is a simple way to avoid possible damage.

Profiting from our professional care services is another convenient way to secure your artificial turf. We offer several “tune-up” options that you can schedule on a one-time or six-month basis. Details always vary according to the purpose of the work (lawns, putting greens, dog turf, etc.), but there is always close inspection. Having small repairs is part of the bargain in other situations too.

Sometimes things just happen

Despite your best efforts to look after your turf well, things happen that you can’t control. Some things only get irritating when they happen. Weeds manage to grow occasionally along the edge or in the infill. To get rid of or prevent one of them, you can pull them up or use a commercial spray such as Round-Up.

Luckily what seems like an “oh, no!” many times! “In fact, the moment is something you can fix easily. You missed a bit of dog poop in the corner, for instance, and it’s mildewed. Just pick it up very carefully, then clean the area and give it a rinse with vinegar or some other simple household cleaner. Good as fresh. Or you have scattered the turf with paint. No worries, just wipe it away with paint thinner on a soft towel.

The good news is that artificial turf is extremely stain- and fade-resistant, so it doesn’t damage the turf, no matter what you spill on it. Products like weed killers and household cleaners are also safe.

Your turf can, however, endure certain forms of harm that you can not repair yourself. An area along the turf’s edge or a seam gets loose. Mother Nature whips up a snappy wind, a branch breaks off, and part of the sharp jagged end pierces your turf’s surface.
