What kind of maintenance is required?

Troubleshooting
Uneven surface after installation
Ensure the base layer was properly compacted and leveled. Re-level the sub-base if necessary and re-lay the artificial grass.
Weeds growing through the edges
Ensure a high-quality weed membrane was installed beneath the artificial grass and check for any gaps or damage to the membrane.
Debris accumulation
Regularly sweep or use a leaf blower to remove fallen leaves, twigs, and other debris. For stubborn dirt, rinse with a hose.
Flattened pile in high-traffic areas
Brush the pile against the grain with a stiff broom or rake to help it stand up again. Infill can also help support the fibers.
