Seasonal Maintenance Guide for Artificial Turf

Year-Round Turf Care Made Easy

One of the biggest perks of artificial grass is how low-maintenance it is—especially compared to traditional lawns in Phoenix, where water, fertilizer, and mowing are a constant chore. That said, a little seasonal upkeep goes a long way in keeping your turf looking lush, clean, and ready for action all year long.

At RM Artificial Grass Phoenix, we’ve put together this quick guide to help you get the most out of your lawn, no matter the season.

🌷 Spring: Refresh and Reset

Spring in the Valley is short but sweet—and it’s the perfect time to give your turf a little refresh.

What to do:

• Rinse off any winter dust or debris with a hose.
  
• Use a stiff-bristled broom or power brush to fluff up any flattened spots.
  
• Clear away fallen leaves or desert debris using a plastic rake or leaf blower.
  
• Inspect the edges, seams, and infill to make sure everything looks secure and even.
  

Pro Tip: Spring is also a great time to schedule a professional turf check-up if it’s been a year or more since your install.

☀️ Summer: Beat the Heat

Phoenix summers are no joke—and while artificial grass is built to handle the sun, a few smart steps can help it stay cooler and cleaner.

What to do:

• Rinse turf weekly to reduce heat and keep dust levels down.
  
• If you have pets, rinse more frequently and spot-clean with enzyme-based turf cleaner.
  
• Avoid placing hot objects like grills, fire pits, or reflective window panels directly on the turf.
  
• Consider adding T-Cool infill or shade structures for extra comfort.
  

Pro Tip: Teach kids and pets to play on shaded turf areas during peak sun hours (2–5 PM) for safety.

🍂 Fall: Tidy Up and Prep for Cooler Months

Even in the desert, fall brings leaves, wind, and dust storms. Keeping your turf tidy now prevents buildup later.

What to do:

• Blow or rake away fallen leaves and organic debris.
  
• Rinse to remove allergens and dust.
  
• Brush the turf blades back up to maintain a fresh appearance.
  
• Check infill levels and top off if necessary, especially in high-traffic spots.
  

Pro Tip: Keep an eye out for early morning dew—while harmless, it’s a good reminder to ensure your drainage system is still working well.

❄️ Winter: Light Cleaning and Inspection

Arizona winters are mild, but they still offer a great chance to give your lawn a quick clean and prep it for spring.

What to do:

• Sweep away dust and light debris every few weeks.
  
• Do a final rinse and brush-up to keep it looking sharp for the holidays.
  
• Inspect the turf for any wear and tear, especially in pet areas or heavy-use spots.
  

Pro Tip: Turf doesn’t go dormant—so you get green grass all winter long, perfect for outdoor gatherings or photos.
