Artificial turf in San Jose is incredibly tough, but gradual wear and improper care can take a toll over time. Here are some of the most common issues we encounter during our maintenance calls:
Burns and Melted Spots
Artificial grass doesn’t burn like real grass, but it does melt when exposed to high heat. Common causes of burnt or melted turf are embers from fire pits or BBQs and lit cigarettes being dropped onto turf. These can manifest as darkened, frayed areas where blades are singed or melted away. Melted spots range from quarter-sized divots to widespread warping.
Matting and Flattening
Frequent foot traffic in the same areas flattens artificial blades into an uneven mat-like texture. This matting is permanent over time. Matting also occurs when infill levels are too low to support blades upright. High traffic areas like paths from the patio to yard are prone to matting.
