Snow is not a threat to your artificial lawn, and it is not recommended to use salt, anti-freeze, or any other chemicals as they will harm the materials.
You can use a plastic shovel to clear your lawn; however, we advise letting the snow melt naturally. As long as the drainage is sufficient, your lawn will look as good as new once all of the snow has melted.
Heavy Rain and Artificial Grass
Just like natural grass, artificial grass can withstand large amounts of rainfall. Artificial turf is capable of being submerged for long periods of time without damage, and this is due to the materials, nylon and polyurethane. The main concern for artificial lawns during heavy rainfall is how effective the drainage system is. If installed correctly, you have nothing to worry about, and the water will naturally drain away easily. We’ve produced this useful guide on how to install artificial grass.
The beauty of an artificial lawn during heavy rainfall is that there are no muddy puddles, meaning your furry friends can still embrace the garden.
Leaves and Other Debris
It’s not just rain, snow, and ice to worry about in winter; there are also pesky leaves and debris that make their way into your garden. A simple plastic lawn rake is the most efficient way to keep your lawn free of leaves and debris. If you have access to a leaf blower, this also works effectively at clearing your lawn.
