4 Signs It’s Time to Replace Turf or Artificial Grass
It’s not always easy to tell when it’s time to replace landscaping materials like turf or artificial grass. It can be hard to tell how much wear and tear they have taken over the years because they don’t show dirt as natural grass does. There are a number of signs that will help you know if it is time for a landscaping update, including faded color, damage, loose inlays, or stains, mold, and bad odors.
Faded Color
When your turf or artificial grass starts to lose its color, it is time for a change. This could be because of the sun or inclement weather conditions like rain and snow. Make sure you are not over-watering your landscaping materials when they start looking dull in order to prevent future damage that can lead to replacement.
Damage
If your landscaping materials have been chewed up by animals, it will make it much harder to maintain. If they are torn or worn out and your landscaping service is not able to fix them with a quick repair, replacement may be the best option for keeping pets and children safe as well as maintaining the look of your yard.
Loose Inlays
If you start noticing that the inlays are coming loose from your artificial grass, this can be a sign that it’s time for a replacement. There may also be an issue with the adhesive if there has not been any landscaping yard work or animals involved.
Stains, Mold, and Bad Odors
If landscaping materials start to smell like mold, it is time for replacement because this can lead to health issues in the future. This could be an issue with your turf if you live in a humid area that does not get much direct sunlight, which will cause it to stay wet.
Any landscaping materials should be replaced if you notice stains or bad odors, although this is more common with artificial grass because of the types of material used for construction.
Landscaping materials should be replaced as soon as possible if they show signs of damage, loose inlays, stains, mold, or bad odors. Contact us today at Kern Turf Supply, Inc to request a quote for replacing your turf or artificial grass.
