How to lengthen the life of artificial lawns

Artificial grass was born in 60th last century. And then it was coming to China during the middle of 90th last century. By now the artificial grass is overwhelming all kinds of sport fields, school playgrounds and gardens. But within all of these fields, after several years of using, some is still standing well, but some have various problems. There are many reasons for that, but mainly focus on two factors: one is the quality of the artificial grass, another is the installation and maintenance. But how could we make our grass lawn longer life? There is a few steps you can fellow it which will benefit you.

Firstly, choose the suitable grass for your court. Notice that all of the good grass is with a good backing, which means good tuft and glued and heated. And our company’s products have an extra woven cloth, so that in winter the backing will stand firmly. Choosing the grass that will mean not color different, neat cutting, good touching, appropriate density. Not just focus on how to cut down the cost.

Secondly, choose an labor team with experience if you don’t want to do it yourself. Make sure you have the necessary machines if you want to make a bigger court. Place the turf neat and smooth, if the turf don not be that will cause the problem of water drainage.

Thirdly, before the placing of artificial turf, you have to own a ready made base. Asphalt and concrete both is ok. And you have to make the base it is better more than 70mm thickness and the shape is England tent with 2% angle. That can make the water drain fast.

Fourthly, pay attention to the infill. Usually there is 2 kinds of infill we apply to our court. Sands and rubber granules. Only the rounded and smooth sands can protect the grass well, but many people use the wrong sands. What they used is rough and sharp, which is harmful to both players and courts. As to the rubbers granule, you the better choose the one that is friendly to environments. We must infill enough rubbers to protect our players and court from the elasticity.

Finally, it is the time we focus on maintenance after installation. For one thing don’t over use the court, they need rest too. And no smoking, no rubbish, no fire in the court. Cleaning the leaves, papers such tings in time. Checking you field 6 months once to make sure joining is firm still and infill still there. If some is washed away, add them.
