Brushing artificial grass

• Lightly brush your new lawn on a regular basis (once a week or every other week) to remove any leaves or twigs — but remember to go gently, as if you use too much force you could end up misshaping the turf.
• The best brush for the job is a medium, soft bristle brush, which will be gentle enough on the grass while still doing its work.
• Brush the grass in the opposite direction of the artificial fibres.

Removing leaves from artificial grass

• Use a normal leaf blower for the quickest way to get rid of any leaves on artificial turf.
• If you can, remove your leaves on a day when the wind is blowing in the direction you want the leaves to go, or on a day with no breeze.
• Dry leaves are easier to remove with a blower than wet ones.

Cutting artificial grass

The best thing about artificial grass is that you never have to cut your lawn again! Other reasons why you should invest in artificial grass are:

• Save water and reduce your water bills
• More time to relax — no more cutting the grass every week!
• Safe for children and pets to play on
• Artificial grass drains quickly
• It won’t fade in the sunlight
• Looks lush and green all year round
• It’s long lasting and durable
