Shelf Life of Artificial Grass and How to Refurbish It?

Feb. 10, 2020

The shelf life of artificial grass and how to refurbish it. Generally, the shelf life of Witten lawn can reach 6 years. After reaching the end of its useful life, it needs to be refurbished. The method of refurbishing natural grass and artificial grass are completely different. The Artificial Grass Supplier will come to introduce you in detail!

 

Normally, artificial grass is damaged and then rebuilt through related renovation processes. Natural grass is actually the same, and measures must be taken after degradation or damage. Although these may not be applicable to artificial grass, it is good to have some knowledge. Although a natural lawn is a perennial substance, its life span is relatively short. In order to extend the life of a natural lawn, rejuvenation is one of the ways to ensure the durability of the lawn. It mainly involves the strip regeneration method, root regeneration method and replanting. 

 

The so-called strip renewal method is to dig a 50 cm wide strip of grass with stolons and roots every 50 cm, then add peat soil or compost soil, and flatten the strip of land from the head. Therefore, this kind of lawn is different from artificial grass. It will age and degrade after growing to a certain age, so it can make it grow again.

 

Due to the influence of soil, climate and other factors, natural grass will gradually degrade. At this time, a hole puncher needs to be used to make a lot of holes in the lawn, the depth of the holes is about 10 cm; and fertilizer is applied in the holes to promote new roots growing up. Or it can directly adopt the method of rotary tillage to cut off the roots, so that many new seedlings are generated from the lawn grass. Obviously, artificial grass does not need to do so.

 

If some areas of the natural lawn are swallowed by weeds, weeds should be removed and replanted in a timely manner after weeding off. It should be noted that the grass must be trimmed before the grass is transplanted. Make the grass tightly connected to the soil, which is the same principle as the close combination of artificial grass and foundation.

In fact, repairing Artificial Grass is not easier than making new artificial grass, but it is more difficult. What problems and precautions will be encountered during the renovation of an old artificial grass?

 

1. Refurbishment of artificial grass fields requires the removal of old artificial grass and replacement with new artificial grass. One of the steps is the removal of artificial grass, which is the key link. In the process of dismantling artificial grass, the first thing to pay attention to is not to destroy (eradicate) the original artificial grass foundation. The artificial grass foundation is generally cement, asphalt, or other lime soil cushion. During the installation, the artificial grass is bonded to the surface with an adhesive. On the ground or on the seam strips and non-woven fabrics, during the process of dismantling the artificial grass, use tools to remove the artificial grass and the bonding layer. Do not damage the artificial grass foundation to pits.

 

2. The old, quartz sand, rubber particles are carried and cleaned on artificial grass. These materials that have been discarded are not usable. After many years of use, these old materials have long lost their inherent properties. A lot of dust and other dirty things are no longer safe.

 

3. Before paving new artificial grass, it is necessary to clean up the site first. If possible, it is better to rinse it with water, clear the dust on the ground, and then start paving artificial grass.
