Why buy fake grass rank?

Why buy fake grass rank?

Sep 6,2022
Many people think that artificial grass does not require any maintenance at all, but this is wrong.

Although the maintenance level is much lower than a real lawn, there are still some basic tasks you should perform to ensure your lawn remains in top shape.

It is very important to remove organic matter like leaves from your lawn to prevent any potential weed growth.

It's also important to brush your turf in the opposite direction to the pile, not only to remove dirt and debris, but to help lift and rejuvenate the fibers.

Fortunately, our professional artificial grass rakes are designed to perform these two critical maintenance tasks quickly and easily.

But artificial grass rakes excel at more than just cleaning and weed growth. Today, we're taking a look at five reasons why you should buy a fake grass rake.
Great for sweeping leaves

As we've already mentioned, it's important to remove organic matter, such as leaves, from artificial turf. That's because organic matter promotes weed growth.

It is very important that you do not use a normal garden rake when removing leaves. These types of rakes tend to have metal prongs. These metal prongs can permanently damage your artificial turf.

To avoid any damage, you must use a rake with plastic fibers.

Professional artificial grass rakes are exactly that, the bristles are usually made of polyamide (the same material used in our instant recovery technology, by the way).

With a fake grass rake, you'll be able to quickly and easily remove leaves and other organic matter.
Great for moss and weed removal
Just like a rake can be used to remove leaves, it can also be used to remove moss and weeds.

Both weed and moss growth are very rare events with artificial grass, but it can happen.

The most effective way to stop any weeds is to use a water-based herbicide. Most off-the-shelf products you can find at the nearest DIY store will suffice. We always recommend that you test the product on an inconspicuous spot on your lawn, or ideally, on any spare trimmings you may have, in case your herbicide of choice causes any permanent damage.

As long as you use a weed film under your synthetic turf, you won't have any weeds growing on your lawn, but you may occasionally see weeds growing onto your turf from seeds in the air.

These can be removed quickly and easily using your fake grass rake, which will dig deep into the haystack and remove weeds from the roots. The tough plastic bristles are also ideal for cutting and removing moss.
It’s Great for Lifting & Reinvigorating the Fibres

If your artificial turf is subjected to heavy, frequent use, over time you may start to notice synthetic fibers lying flat in a horizontal position.

This is more likely to happen with inferior quality products, as opposed to UDINE's high-quality artificial turf, which all contain nylon fibers for the ultimate in hardwearing turf.

Fortunately, however, a good brush is usually all that's needed to help lift the fibers and push them back into a vertical position. The plastic bristles of the maintenance brush are perfect for this.

Sweeping the fibers with your rake will gently lift the synthetic fibers and help them rejuvenate.

Vertical fibers are indeed the key to realistic artificial turf. Flat fibers can give your grass an unrealistic look.

So, buying an artificial grass rake is a great way to keep your turf looking its best.
Ideal for installing filler material
Artificial grass rakes are a great tool for installing fill material.

Infill is an important part of the artificial grass installation process, and there are several good reasons why it should be done.

First, it helps add ballast, which prevents ripples and creases in your fake turf, as can happen when the backing material expands and contracts very slightly at different temperatures. It also helps support the fibers, keeping them vertical. The padding material even helps with drainage, keeps the grass cool in the summer, and protects the backing material.

Installing any type of infill requires brushing off the fake grass to work the infill to the bottom of the pile.

Without a doubt, the quickest and easiest way is to use a mechanical power brush. However, these typically cost hundreds of dollars, so it's not really feasible for most homeowners.

On the other hand, buying a fake grass rake costs less than $20. So, for a fraction of the cost, you can get a tool that is very useful when installing filler material.
This is a great installation tool
We've previously covered the best artificial grass installation tools in depth.

However, artificial grass maintenance rakes can also be great little installation tools. When you buy artificial grass, it's tightly wrapped around a cardboard core for easy handling.

The downside to this is that it can flatten the fibers in your lawn, which you'll notice when you first spread your grass.

Fear not, though; over time, as long as you buy a good quality artificial grass, the fibers will naturally start to warp.

But, as we've discovered, our plastic rakes are great for lifting and revitalizing your turf. So if you're looking for a shortcut to help loosen synthetic fibers and complete your installation, we highly recommend using an artificial grass maintenance brush.
