Artificial Grass Maintenance

Discover how to care for your Elitegrass

Caring for your artificial grass

Artificial grass doesn’t need mowing, watering, or fertilising, but regular light upkeep keeps it looking its best. A quick brush, a rinse, and some basic cleaning go a long way. Over time, dust, leaves, and debris can settle on the surface, so giving your turf a gentle brush with a stiff broom helps lift the fibres and maintain that natural, upright look.

If you have pets, make sure to hose down any areas they use regularly and clean up solid waste as soon as possible. A simple rinse and mild detergent will keep your lawn fresh and odour-free. With just a little attention now and then, your artificial grass will stay lush, vibrant, and ready to enjoy all year round.

Brush and refresh your lawn.

Just like natural grass, high-traffic areas on artificial turf can flatten over time — from kids playing, pets lounging, or outdoor furniture sitting in one spot. To bring it back to life, simply give the area a quick brush with a stiff broom or power brush to lift the fibres and restore their natural look. For best results, brush in different directions to keep the blades standing evenly.

All our lawns are finished with premium infill such as silica sand, which adds weight, stability, and resilience — helping your lawn maintain its shape, feel softer underfoot, and look freshly installed for years to come.

Clear away weeds, debris, and leaves.

A little bit of regular upkeep goes a long way when it comes to keeping your synthetic lawn clean and tidy. It helps stop debris, moss, and the odd weed from building up over time. Before we lay any turf, we install a quality weed barrier underneath to help keep weeds at bay — but every now and then, a few might still sneak through, usually from seeds or spores landing on the surface.

Clearing fallen leaves, dust, and other bits is easy. Just give your lawn a once-over with a stiff broom, leaf blower, or a plastic rake (we recommend steering clear of metal rakes as they can damage the fibres).

If you do spot a weed or two, simply pull them out by hand or use a gentle, pet-safe weed killer to stop them from growing back. And keeping trees and bushes trimmed will help reduce the amount of leaf drop, making it easier to keep everything looking neat.

Simple Tips to Keep Your Artificial Grass Clean and Looking Fresh

One of the best things about artificial grass is how low-maintenance it is. Most of the time, a bit of rain will do the cleaning for you, washing away dust and debris. However, during Perth’s long dry spells, it’s a good idea to give your lawn a light hose-down every so often to keep it looking fresh.

Our turf is made to resist stains, but if you notice a mark, start simple — warm water usually does the job. For common spills like soft drinks, ice cream, tomato sauce, or butter, mix a little mild detergent or dish soap with water and gently clean the area. For oil-based spots such as sunscreen, cooking oil, or grease, use a small amount of diluted mineral spirits and blot carefully. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the turf fibres and affect the colour.

Looking After Artificial Grass When You Have Pets

Pet owners love how easy it is to clean artificial grass. Pet mess won’t damage the turf, but odours can develop if not cleaned regularly.

Here’s how to keep things fresh:

  • Rinse your pet’s favourite area with water and mild detergent.

  • Use a pet-friendly deodoriser for lingering smells.

Our pet turf drains efficiently, making clean-up quick and simple.

Caring for Your Artificial Grass in All Weather

Our artificial grass is engineered for Perth’s climate extremes. It’s UV-stabilised to resist fading and fully porous to handle heavy rain without pooling.

During cold spells, frost or hail won’t harm the turf — but if you’d like to clear it, use a plastic shovel or soft broom to avoid fibre damage.
