Regular Cleaning 

Regularly cleaning your grass is a great way to enhance its appearance and safety. In the fall, leaves, foliage, and debris often enter our backyards. Not only does this contribute to a messy look, but they are also a major slipping hazard, especially if it is rainy or damp outside as well. Use a leaf blower or a gentle rake to clear foliage that may be lodged in the blades of grass. Be gentle to ensure that nothing lifts. Clearing these items will also reduce the spread of bacteria that are often found on leaves.

Rinsing

After clearing your grass, you should also rinse it. Fall weather is usually rainy, making it easier for you or your loved ones to track in mud and dirt. Rinsing your grass regularly can help reduce any mud stains that may ruin the aesthetic of your backyard. Rinsing is also great for hygienic reasons as well. Lightly rinse your artificial grass with water to remove any dust, pollen, or residual debris, especially after heavy winds or storms. Pollen and dust can linger on your grass throughout the whole summer and into the fall. Rinsing will help reduce the risk of allergic reactions in those who are sensitive to pollen or dust while also promoting hygiene. 

Inspecting

It is important to inspect your grass every season to ensure that it is still in good working condition. Look for any lifting, bubbling, or weed growth. You should also ensure that the grass is draining effectively, especially given how rainy it gets in the fall. Resolving issues and conducting repairs in the fall, before winter arrives, will help set your backyard up for success next spring.
