Seasonal Turf Care Tips: Keeping Your Artificial Lawn Looking Fresh Year-Round
July 8, 2024

One of the biggest perks of artificial turf is that it stays green with very little effort. But while you can say goodbye to mowing, watering, and fertilizing, your turf still deserves a little seasonal care to keep it in top shape.

At Kingswood Turf, we install high-quality synthetic grass designed to perform year-round—but a few simple steps throughout the year will help your lawn stay clean, soft, and looking like new.

Here’s your season-by-season guide to artificial turf maintenance.

Spring: Refresh and Remove Debris

Winter may leave behind leaves, dirt, or dust. Spring is a great time to give your turf a fresh start.

To-do list:

  • Use a leaf blower or stiff broom to clear debris
  • Rinse the turf with water to remove dust and pollen
  • Fluff the blades with a power brush or stiff-bristle rake
  • Spot-clean pet areas or stains with a mild solution if needed

A light refresh helps restore softness and color for spring gatherings and backyard fun.

Summer: Keep It Cool and Ready for Use

While artificial turf handles heat well, you can take a few steps to make it even more enjoyable during summer.

Tips:

  • Hose down turf before playtime to lower surface temperature
  • Use shade structures (like umbrellas or pergolas) in play zones
  • Rinse pet areas more frequently to prevent odor buildup
  • Check edges and seams for heat expansion (Kingswood Turf installs heat-tolerant turf, but checking never hurts)

Your lawn stays lush and ready for every BBQ, pool party, or playdate.

Fall: Tidy Up and Prevent Buildup

Autumn means falling leaves and more debris. Staying ahead of it will protect your turf’s look and drainage.

What to do:

  • Blow off leaves regularly—don’t let them sit and break down
  • Rake gently to lift flattened turf fibers
  • Inspect and remove weeds along turf edges
  • Replenish infill if needed (our team can help assess)

Fall maintenance keeps turf draining properly and looking vibrant heading into winter.

Winter: Let It Rest (But Check After Storms)

Artificial turf is built to handle cold, frost, and even light snow without damage. Just a few occasional checks will keep things looking great.

Winter tips:

  • Avoid shoveling snow—let it melt naturally
  • Brush off excess debris after heavy wind or rain
  • Don’t park heavy furniture or equipment on turf for extended periods
  • If drainage seems slow, give us a call—we’ll assess for any issues under the surface

Turf doesn’t go dormant like grass—it stays green and hassle-free all winter.
