Putting Green Maintenace Tips

The great thing about artificial turf is that requires less attention than regular grass. While regular grass requires frequent watering to remain fresh, artificial turf is evergreen. It doesn’t thrive off of water, sunshine, or any of the organic requirements regular grass does.

All it takes is a few easy steps to keep your putting green clean, all underlined here by our team at Crown & Blade Turf:

Regular Cleaning

Regular cleaning with putting green turf is minimal. You can expect to keep a short list of preventive steps like raking away leaves or checking for weeds. 

Brushing

Half of the battle with putting greens is keeping them vertical. Turf tends to flatten over time, reducing its appeal. Using a stiff brush, you’ll want to brush turf upward to revive its height.

Checking the Infill

Arizona’s heat is relentless. It won’t spare your home turf or putting green, pulling away at fibers without care. You’ll want to regularly check the infill layer of your turf for a springy, weightless feel. If you notice that your infill has lost its luster, you can easily refill it with silica or rubber.

Weed Control 

Even though putting greens by us is artificial, weeds will still grow. You’ll want to remove weed growth as soon as it is noticed, as this will minimize further vegetation. Make sure your turf isn’t collecting runaway dirt that could cause weeds to grow.

Stain Removal 

Oddly enough, you can use household detergent to remove putting green stains. Food, pet, or dirt stains can all be easily removed when met with a small amount of detergent or mild glass cleaner. Avoid hard chemicals when removing stains, as these could cause your turf to flatten.

Avoid Heavy Furniture

Because putting turf is fragile, any heavy furniture could flatten it. Keep your outdoor furniture lightweight, easy to move, and far away from your fresh turf.

Regular Inspections

Imperfections gathered on your turf are easy to spot. Regularly examine your home turf in depth to minimize permanent damage.

Seasonal Maintenance for Putting Green Turf 

Eternally sunny with a low chance for winter ice, it won’t be hard to maintain your Arizona putting greens’ freshness throughout the year. Even with a steady climate, it’s helpful to consider these seasonal maintenance tips:

Summer Maintenance

Arizona’s dry summers can be a potential risk for home putting greens. Although not required, it helps to sprinkle a bit of water over your turf to promote durability. It also helps to reapply sun-resistant sealant throughout the summer. 

Winter Maintenance

Cold winters aren’t really a thing in Arizona. However, dropping temperatures can still cause small imperfections on your turf such as flattening or moisture absorption. You’ll want to brush turf fibers more frequently to ensure they don’t fall.
