There is no argument that artificial turf looks good. It stays green and lush year-round, plus it is low maintenance. Many who aren’t familiar with artificial turf wonder if it really looks like natural grass. Then once they realize it does, their second question people have is how is it made to look like natural grass.

Artificial turf is typically made from nylon and polyurethane. This makes it durable and flexible similar to real grass. Unlike natural grass, artificial grass blades are made uniformly. This uniform appearance makes it look perfect, unlike real grass.

Synthetic grass comes in both short and long blades and in a wide variety of greens so it can be adapted to each property owner’s preference and the area. Many people mix the blade lengths and shades to make their property look more natural. If you are looking into different options, then our guide to finding the best artificial grass will help you.

One of the primary advantages of artificial turf is that it requires so much less maintenance than a natural grass lawn. Eliminating the need for a lawn mower and sprinkler system is enough to convert many homeowners into faux grass fans. However, there are still a few things you’ll want to do in order to make your artificial turf look more natural.

1. Raking & Brushing

The fibers of your artificial grass yard stand upright just like natural grass, and you want to keep them that way. It takes quite a lot of traffic to flatten them, but frequent heavy activity by multiple pets or children may take a little bit of a toll, as will often walking along the same path in a yard.

Synthetic lawns can be brushed, which also helps clear away dust and dirt accumulation. Brushing the lawn surface also lifts the blades back up, creating a fuller and lusher look to your space. This can restore parts of your lawn that have been flattened by frequent use. By sweeping and brushing your lawn, you can easily make it look realistic again. Plus, it’s easier way easier than mowing.

2. Rinsing

The absolute best artificial turf cleaner, and the cheapest, is rain. If you live in an area where there is regular rainfall, it will do a great job of helping your yard to stay beautiful. However, not only do those living in dry regions need to give their artificial grass a little boost, there are other circumstances that might require you to get out the hose, as well.

3. Replacing Infill

Low or inconsistent infill depths are the main contributor to flat artificial grass. That’s why it’s important to monitor and replenish or top off the infill levels of your artificial grass, especially in high-traffic areas. Maintain adequate infill depth to support your turf fibers and keep them standing tall.
