Why is astro turf kept wet

Pet stains need to be washed down. You will need to spray down your artificial grass after your pet urinates or leaves fecal matter. With urination, all you need to do is briefly spray down the area. It will drain through the infill and mesh backing into the drainage system. With fecal matter, you will need to pick up the feces to throw away first. After that, spray down the area with a hose. You may also need to use a special cleanser for artificial grass to help avoid permanent stains.

Ask your dealer about possible products when you purchase your artificial turf. Learn about different ways to prevent dog urine spots on your current lawn. Other spills need to be washed down. Depending on how you use your yard, there could be other spills that would stain your synthetic grass. But there are also many downsides, which not only affect the players but also the spectators. The pitch is usually irrigated by pop-up sprinklers or water cannons — both these systems have to be carefully managed to prevent disruption to the game and spectators during the irrigation process.

Players have to manoeuvre around the water sprinklers, and spectators may have to move to avoid being sprinkled, depending on wind direction. Potentially, water can be wasted. Depending on wind direction, some of the water may drift away from the hockey field and onto spectators, the car park and sometimes missing some of the hockey pitch.

Real grass, which needs copious amounts of water and chemicals to thrive, retains moisture. That makes it slippery — and dangerous — when wet.

Ever walk across a lawn after it has rained, or was recently watered? Now imagine your children trying to run and play on that wet natural grass! Artificial grass is an infinitely safer alternative because even though it looks like natural grass — and feels even better to your feet — faux grass does not get slippery when wet. Top-quality synthetic grass is designed and installed to ensure moisture drains away fast. Compare that to natural grass in which water pools, making a lawn or yard messy, muddy, and hazardous until the excess water seeps into the ground and evaporates into the air.

For homeowners or property managers who own a pool, artificial grass is the perfect compliment. Pools provides hours of fun for kids and adults alike. Anyone up for a cannonball contest?! However, playing in the pool also means collateral damage when all that chlorinated water splashes onto natural grass landscaping around the pool. And, artificial grass can easily be installed on top of those hard surfaces.

Natural grass is fragile. Compare that to faux grass, which does not wear down, develop uneven depressions, and is impervious to dogs who love to dig holes in the turf.

Besides the pool area, artificial grass is a safer option for any play area. It reduces the risk of falling, turning ankles, and other injuries. Artificial grass installed with specialized FallSoft technology from Heavenly Greens cushions falls from as high as five feet.
