MAINTENANCE OF ARTIFICIAL TURF IN AUTUMN

Maintenance of artificial turf in autumn
One of the most beneficial features being touted with artificial turf is long life without requiring frequent maintenance work . This does not mean that artificial turf will not require any care , only in comparison with natural grass , the effort to keep it in good condition for long time is almost nil.

If your garden would be covered by natural grass , you need to water it daily for it to remain strong and green during the season. Instead , artificial grass requires only light watering occasionally . This will be enough to remove dust accumulated by the use and exposure to the elements.

Protect the lawn artificial of trees
In case you have many trees in your garden , when the time of pruning is recommended to cover the artificial turf with a plastic layer thus avoiding the branches and leaves fall on .
Of course, this layer is not at all times , so to remove the leaves that fall on these synthetic surfaces we recommend using a plastic rake to avoid scratching .

If you have animals , feces of them on artificial turf can be cleaned with water and mild soap. Finally , we recommend brushing artificial grass with stiff brush and long to recover fibers can lose their volume by footsteps .

Although rents artificial grass today in the city of Thanh Hoa is considered quite high, but the "golden hour" is almost closed and the airport are operating at full capacity, even overloaded. To "make food", many clubs have to hire the stadium by month, quarter, or even year. Without reservation, it is difficult to be able to hire the pitch "golden hour".

Should you fake the lawn?

By Maile Meloy

There's just something beautiful and comforting about mown grass. Whether you're throwing a ball, lying in the shade on a hot day, or sitting outside on a warm night, a green artificial grass lawn is a pleasure.

Writer Wallace Stegner, having grown up in dry, wild Saskatchewan, Canada, first saw a lawn at age 11 in Montana. "I stooped down and touched its cool nap in awe and unbelief. I think I held my breath ― I had not known that people anywhere lived with such grace."

Lawns are also an environmental nightmare if you live in a dry climate, and Stegner did try hard to remind people of the natural aridity of the West. I live in Los Angeles, where millions of gallons of drinkable water are dumped into lawns every day, year-round.

Compare: Lawns and the alternatives

Each of the hundreds of thousands of gas-powered push mowers that whine away, cutting that lushly watered grass, puts 11 times more pollution into the air every hour than a car. The leaf blowers ― illegal in many areas but widely used anyway ― are just as bad. The carbon footprint of L.A.'s lawns is enormous.

And then there's the constant, nerve-racking noise from all those mowers and blowers, on different lawns, on 
different days.

For a while, my husband and I dealt with the problem by not watering our lawn. Call it default xeriscaping: If you don't water, you miraculously don't have to mow. But it's not pretty. The weeds start to take over, and people stop picking up after their dogs, figuring that you don't really care. We did care about the grass ― we just didn't want 
it to grow.

Then we went to a party at the house of a landscape designer who watered, she said, for only eight minutes a week, and did her own gardening, with no mowing. This was real xeriscaping: She had succulents, and drought-tolerant trees, and pink-flowering cactus, and Mexican beach pebbles ― and two stunning green rectangles of perfect lawn in the back. "The grass," another guest whispered to me. "It's not real."

"It's not?" I asked. It looked gorgeously real.

"Touch it," she said.

I did, and it was true: The grass was fake.

It wasn't Astroturf, exactly, but long, smooth blades of grass that looked exactly like real grass but happened to be plastic. It had been laid down like a carpet, over prepared ground. She hosed it off sometimes, and it drained itself. It wasn't cheap, but given that she didn't have to mow, water, reseed, or fertilize, it would pay for itself in eight years. And then there was the peace of mind, the quiet, and the conservation of water. We had a solution.
