Every day there are more square meters of artificial grass installed in detriment of the natural one. As we saw in the first blog, there are many advantages of artificial grass over natural grass and one of them is that maintenance makes us choose one or the other.
In the case of artificial grass for sports use, this maintenance is more economical than that carried out on natural grass, but just like the latter, it is essential to be able to extend its useful life and ensure that its technical characteristics remain as good as the first day.
When we talk about artificial grass we generally think of garden grass, however its applications go much further. Nowadays they are used in most football pitches, paddle tennis courts, multi-sports and any sports surface in general.
Because of this we must design specific maintenance plans for each type of artificial grass. Next we leave you with a small summary.
For artificial grass:
| Inspection of all installations | Daily |
| Brushing to redistribute the filling | Every +/- 35 hours set |
| Brushing for waste disposal | Every +/- 35 hours set |
| Removal of moss and algae | Annually |
| Removal of weeds | When necessary |
| Removal of ice or snow | When necessary |
