Spring Turf Prep Checklist: Get Your Lawn Ready for a New Season
December 2, 2024

Spring is the season of fresh starts—and that includes your outdoor space. If you have artificial turf, the good news is that spring prep is quick, easy, and way simpler than traditional lawn care. Still, a little seasonal attention helps keep your turf looking vibrant and performing its best year-round.

At Kingswood Turf, we install high-quality artificial grass that’s built to last. Here’s your go-to spring turf care checklist to make sure your lawn is clean, refreshed, and ready to enjoy.

1. Clear Off Leaves, Twigs & Debris

Winter storms and winds can leave behind a mess. Use a:

  • Leaf blower (on low)
  • Plastic rake
  • Stiff-bristle broom

Focus on edges and seams to ensure debris doesn’t collect in high-traffic areas.

2. Rinse Off Dust & Surface Dirt

Give your turf a fresh rinse to:

  • Remove dust and pollen buildup
  • Clean off pet spots or tracked-in dirt
  • Refresh high-use areas

A basic garden hose works perfectly. No harsh chemicals needed.

3. Brush Up the Turf Fibers

Turf blades can flatten over time, especially after snow or heavy foot traffic. Use a turf broom or stiff brush to:

  • Lift the blades
  • Restore the upright, “freshly mowed” look
  • Redistribute infill evenly

Pay extra attention to play zones, pet areas, and patio transitions.

4. Check Edges, Seams & Drainage

Spring is a good time to inspect:

  • Turf edges for any lifting or shifting
  • Seams to ensure they’re secure
  • Drainage performance after rainfall

If anything seems off, Kingswood Turf can assess and repair quickly.

5. Refresh Infill if Needed

Over time, infill can shift—especially in high-traffic or pet-use areas. Consider adding new infill if:

  • Turf feels too soft or uneven
  • You notice flattening despite brushing
  • Odors are lingering in pet zones

We can help evaluate and top off as needed for better performance.

6. Plan Your Spring Projects Around a Fresh Lawn

Now’s the perfect time to:

  • Add turf to other areas (side yard, play space, pet zone)
  • Pair turf with spring garden updates
  • Get your yard ready for entertaining with furniture or lighting upgrades

Turf makes your spring refresh easy—no need to re-seed or reseal.

Turf Makes Spring Yard Care Simple and Stress-Free

Unlike natural grass, artificial turf doesn’t require fertilizing, heavy watering, or weed control. With just a few easy steps, your yard will be spotless and spring-ready.
