Artificial grass is a fantastic choice for anyone in Cyprus who wants a green, low-maintenance lawn that looks great year-round. But just because it’s easier than natural grass doesn’t mean you can forget about it completely. At The Gardeners, we help lots of clients install and take care of their artificial lawns, so we’ve picked up a few tips along the way. Here are some simple ways to keep your artificial grass looking fresh and tidy!
1. Give It a Quick Clean
Even though you won’t need to mow or water artificial grass, you’ll still want to keep it clean. Leaves, dust, and general debris can build up, especially under trees or near hedges. Every so often, give your lawn a sweep with a soft-bristle broom or use a leaf blower to clear things away.
Spills and messes? No problem. A quick rinse with a hose will take care of most minor dirt, while a mix of mild soap and water will handle anything a bit tougher. It’s all about keeping it simple and fresh.
2. Brush It Back to Life
In high-traffic areas—like where you walk the most or where the furniture sits—the grass can get a little flat over time. Brushing it up now and then helps it stay fluffy and upright, keeping that lush look you love. For best results, brush against the grain to lift the fibers back up.
Using a stiff broom or brush is all you need for this, and if you’re unsure about what to use, we can always recommend the right tools for the job!
3. Watch for Weeds
Even though artificial grass does a great job of blocking weeds, a few sneaky ones might pop up around the edges or seams. Keeping an eye on these spots and pulling any weeds early keeps your lawn looking neat and tidy.
For those occasional stubborn weeds, there are gentle treatments available that won’t harm your artificial grass. Not sure what to use? We’re happy to advise you on the best options.
4. Rinse Away the Dust
Living in Cyprus means dealing with dusty, dry conditions, and your artificial grass can collect some of that dust over time. A quick rinse with your garden hose is an easy fix, bringing back that vibrant green color. And if you’ve got pets, a rinse here and there will also keep things clean and fresh after they’ve done their business.
5. Spot Any Wear and Tear Early
Artificial grass is built to last, but over time, high-traffic areas might show signs of wear or loosening at the edges. Catching small issues early—like frayed seams or flattened patches—means easier fixes, so your lawn always looks its best.
