SYNTHETIC TURF MAINTENANCE.

In-house maintenance should be carried out on a ‘little but often’ basis, out-sourced maintenance should be carried out a few times a year by synthetic turf specialists. This involves a combination of the following:

Drag Brushing

Drag brushing is an important part of maintaining the artificial pitch and should form a part of the synthetic turf maintenance programme. With everyday usage the infill levels of an artificial grass surface can migrate around the pitch and towards the edges, moving away from the heavily used areas in the middle of the pitch. The infill material acts as a wearing course to support the turf fibres and therefore protect the turf against the heavy use extending the life of the turf. By using a drag brush or drag mat, drag brushing can be completed and it should be carried out on a weekly basis which is attached to a ride on the tractor or suitable maintenance vehicle.

Power Sweeping

Within the surface of the artificial grass, over time contaminants will build upon the surface from air born particles. These contaminants, over time, start to break up and build within the surface. The smaller particles are needed to be removed by specialist power sweeping machines while the larger items such as litter and leaves can be easily collected. If contaminants are not removed they will build up over time and cause drainage problems. This will reduce the quality of the pitch as the surface becomes hard and compacted.

Surface Grooming

Grooming of a synthetic surface remains the primary and fundamental maintenance operation. The rubber/sand infill will become dispersed from the high wear areas during active play. In addition, it can cause the fibre of the surface to compact and lie flat. Therefore to ensure that the fibres are pulled upright, regular grooming of the surface is necessary. It also ensures that dispersed infill material is redistributed across the surface, thus protecting the fibre against accelerated wear.

Infill Levels

It is extremely important that infill levels are regularly monitored to ensure correct and even rubber levels are maintained. The infill helps to support the carpet fibre thus ensuring that the surface performs in the manner it was designed to. In addition, the infill also acts as a wearing course by protecting the carpet fibres from the effects of accelerated wear. As such, maintaining the correct infill levels will help to ensure that the full life expectancy of the surface is realised. It is normal for infill levels to consolidate within the first few months depending upon usage.
