How to Care for Your Artificial Grass

At Elite Synthetic Grass, we install turf that’s built to handle whatever the Perth weather throws at it — from blazing sun to sudden downpours. One of the best things about synthetic grass is how easy it is to look after. But like anything, a bit of care here and there will help keep it looking fresh and tidy all year round.

We’re always happy to help with maintenance if you need it, but here are a few simple tips to keep your lawn looking its best.

Brush It Up Now and Then

Just like real grass, areas that get a lot of use can flatten a little over time — whether it’s from the kids running around, the dog’s favourite patch, or just your outdoor furniture. A quick brush with a stiff broom is usually all it takes to lift the fibres back up.

Don’t stress too much — any marks from garden chairs or foot traffic usually bounce back naturally. But if you want to freshen it up faster, giving it a light brush in different directions will do the trick. All of our lawns are finished with a layer of quality infill like silica sand to help keep everything stable and looking good.

Removing Weeds and Rubbish

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.

Maintenance FAQs

Easy Ways to Keep Your Artificial Grass Clean and Looking Great

One of the great things about artificial grass is how easy it is to keep clean. Most of the time, a bit of rain is enough to wash away dust and dirt. But if we go through a long dry spell (which we know happens often enough here in Perth), it’s a good idea to give your lawn a quick hose down every now and then.

Our turf is designed so it will not stain easily, but if you do spot a mark, start with warm water and see if that does the trick. For things like drinks, ice cream, tomato sauce, butter, or even blood, you can use a bit of mild detergent or dish soap mixed with water. If you’re dealing with oil-based spills like sunscreen, cooking oil, or grease, use a tiny bit of diluted mineral spirits — just go easy with it. We recommend avoiding bleach altogether, as it’s not needed and can damage the fibres.

Looking After Artificial Grass When You Have Pets

Unlike natural grass, synthetic turf isn’t damaged by pet messes. That said, if urine or faeces isn’t cleaned up, smells can build up over time, especially during the hotter months. It helps to have a spot set aside for your pet to do their business, so you can easily give that area a rinse with water and mild detergent.

We install turf that’s well suited for homes with pets — it drains well and makes it easy to keep your yard fresh and clean. If you ever notice smells hanging around, you can hose down the area and give it a spray with a pet-friendly deodoriser to help neutralise odours.

Caring for Your Artificial Grass in Any Weather

Our artificial grass is designed to handle Perth’s extremes — from the dry heat of summer to those big winter downpours. The turf is UV-stabilised, so it won’t fade or break down in the sun, and it’s fully porous to handle heavy rain without pooling.

If you get a bit of frost or even the odd bit of hail or snow up in the hills, you don’t really need to clear it, but if you want to, just use a plastic shovel or a stiff broom. That way, you won’t damage the fibres.
