ARTIFICIAL GRASS MAINTENANCE

🌿 Artificial Grass Maintenance Guide in Girona: Flawless Gardens All Year Round

Having a green and perfect garden in the Girona region is possible without wasting rivers of water. Artificial grass is the ideal solution for our climate, but to keep it looking like day one in Girona, Figueres, or the Costa Brava, essential maintenance steps must be followed. 🛠️

1. Cleaning and Organic Waste Removal 🍂 Due to the proximity of pine forests and the effect of the "Tramuntana" wind in the Alt Empordà, it is very common for leaves and pine needles to accumulate.

• Blowing the grass: 💨 Using a leaf blower is the most efficient way to remove debris without damaging the fibers.

• Prevent decomposition: If leaves get wet and rot, they can clog the drainage and encourage fungal growth.

2. Weed Control 🌿 Even though the installation includes a geotextile membrane, the Girona wind can carry seeds that germinate on the silica sand or at the edges of the garden.

• Edge inspection: If any weeds appear, pull them out by the root or apply a small amount of diluted herbicide. 💧

3. Brushing the Grass to Restore Volume 🖌️ Over time and with use (especially if children or pets play on it), the fibers can flatten.

• Brushing: You should brush the artificial grass against the grain using a stiff-bristle brush (non-metallic). This will give your garden its lush, natural look back instantly! ✨

4. Disinfection and Hygiene 🧼 If you have dogs or cats, hygiene is crucial to avoid bad odors, especially during the hot summer months in Girona.

• Specific products: Periodically apply a neutral soap or an enzyme cleaner/sanitizer. Besides disinfecting, it will leave a fresh scent of "freshly cut grass." 🌸

5. Joint Inspection and Ground Movement 🏗️ The soil in our province can suffer slight shifts due to heavy spring rains or the nature of the ground itself.

• Invisible joints: Check that the joining tapes haven't separated. An open joint is a tripping hazard and ruins the garden's aesthetic.

• Levels: If you detect any air pockets or unevenness, it's important to act quickly to prevent water pooling. ⛈️

6. Silica Sand Infill ⏳ Silica sand provides weight to the grass and keeps it cool. Every 2 or 3 years, a small top-up is recommended to compensate for what has been lost through daily cleaning.
