Maintenance to the synthetic turf is minimal. An occasional brooming is recommended, but not necessary. Brooming will stand the fibers of the artificial grass up and even out the infill materials. 

Debris like leaves and twigs can be easily removed with a leaf blower or by hand. As long as the leaf blower nozzle is not placed too close to the synthetic turf, the sand and rubber will stay in place while the debris is blown away. The drainage in our imitation grass is similar to natural grass. The artificial turf backing has many perforated holes allowing for water to drain vertically.

The long term effect of the sun does not harm the imitation turf lawnscape or make it fade. The fibers of our "fake" grass have a UV protection coating and can withstand the damaging affects of sun, heat, wind, snow and ice.

 

Our artificial grass is 100% polyethylene and lead free, unlike many of our competitors, making it safe for kids, pets and our environment. On top of saving water, our "fake" grass is also recyclable after its lifetime. We are proud to say our synthetic turf is made in the USA.

 

Back Nine Greens' synthetic grass and imitation turf come with limited 8 year warranties, while actual life expectancy is 15-25 years.

 

Pets cannot harm the artificial turf. The imitation grass is also installed strictly for dog runs. Urine is not a problem, as it absorbs into the sand and rubber and eventually evaporates. Spraying the area with a hose is also an option.

 

The cost comparison to installing synthetic lawn or artificial grass versus installing a sprinkler system, top soil, and the price of sod, combined with watering, mowing, weeding, and fertilizing, shows installing a imitation grass lawn can pay for itself in a few years.
