How to get rid of weeds from artificial grass？
There are a few different ways to kill weeds in artificial grass, the easiest way is to use boiling water. You may also want to use vinegar to make natural pesticides. If you're looking for a longer-lasting solution, you can install a weed mat underneath the artificial grass. Let's take a look at some of the best ways to kill weeds in artificial grass.
Install A Weed Barrier
This is the best way. The best way to permanently stop weeds from growing in artificial grass is to professionally install a weed barrier underneath the artificial grass. A weed barrier is a grid that covers the ground and stops weeds from growing through artificial grass.
Boiling Water
You can kill weeds by boiling them in boiling water. If you pour boiling water over the weeds, it will kill them without damaging the artificial grass. Boiling water will cause the weeds to wilt and die, and you can then pull them up and dispose of them after a few hours. Some weeds do have deeper root systems, and you may find that you need to pour boiling water over them a few times so you can pull the weeds out of the grass.
Use A Vinegar Spray
If you want to make your own natural and non-toxic weed spray, you can use vinegar. Add a solution of white vinegar and water to a spray bottle. You may also want to add some washing up liquid or some vodka, as these ingredients will help kill weeds. The solution can then be sprayed onto weeds and killed without resorting to harsh chemicals. If the weeds are not dead after the first treatment, you may need to re-spray the weeds within a few days. Then you will be able to pull the weeds out of the artificial grass.
White vinegar is non-toxic and doesn't harm the environment, so you can use pure white vinegar to saturate weeds. Apple cider vinegar can also kill weeds.
Sprinkle Salt On The Weed
Sprinkle table salt over any weeds growing through artificial grass. Salt can be used to dehydrate weeds and kill them. Salt is also a great way to prevent future weed growth, as it will soak into the ground under the artificial grass, making the soil too salty for salt to grow. If you plan to remove artificial grass in the future, do not use salt, as it will be difficult to get the grass to grow again.
Be careful if you sprinkle salt near concrete or paving stones, as it can cause some materials to corrode. Don't go in areas where water runoff can carry it to lawns or flower beds, as the salt can eventually damage other plants.
Use Herbicides
If you need a stronger choice, you may want to use commercial herbicides to remove weeds that are difficult to kill. Herbasia is a fast and simple method that can get rid of weeds on artificial grass.
If you don't want to buy herbicides, ammonia water can kill weeds. It is particularly effective to resist crab grass, poison, ivy and dandelion.
Pull Weeds By Hand
You may need to pull out weeds at the edges of artificial grass by hand. Grab the weeds at the roots of the plants and pull them up. Try pulling out the roots too. You may need to use a screwdriver to gently lift the edge of the artificial turf. Weeds that grow on the edges of synthetic grass usually do not have their roots embedded in the material, making them easier to remove. You can also use a crab grass removal tool.
