Gently brush the pile against its natural direction with a stiff brush or broom to restore its loft and appearance.
Surface is dirty or stained.
Clean the affected area with a mild detergent and water solution. Rinse thoroughly with a hose and allow to dry.
Edges are lifting or not staying in place.
Ensure the edges are properly secured using appropriate adhesive or ground stakes. Check the sub-base for levelness.
Water is not draining effectively.
Verify that the sub-base has adequate drainage and that no obstructions are blocking the SBR backing's drainage channels.
