Even a high-quality non-infill turf system requires appropriate maintenance.
Keep the surface clean
Leaves, soil, food residue and other contaminants can accumulate on the surface and contribute to abrasion or biological growth. Regular cleaning helps maintain the turf’s performance.
Maintain drainage
After heavy rain, check whether water is draining normally. Persistent standing water should be investigated rather than simply accepted as normal.
Avoid unnecessary mechanical damage
Sharp objects, aggressive scraping, inappropriate cleaning equipment and concentrated heavy loads can damage artificial turf fibers.
Control excessive localized traffic
Football goalmouths, penalty areas, entrances, playground access points and other high-use locations can experience substantially greater wear than the rest of the surface.
Where appropriate, maintenance planning can distribute traffic and allow localized repairs before damage becomes extensive.
Repair problems early
If a small area begins showing abnormal fiber loss, investigate the underlying cause promptly. A loose seam, damaged backing, drainage problem or installation defect can become more difficult and expensive to repair if ignored.
