Is maintenance of synthetic turf required?
While much less work is required than with a natural grass field, synthetic turf need to be maintained as well to maximize playability and life of the product. Minimal maintenance would include brushing the fiber up, clearing the area of leaves and litter on a weekly basis. Depending upon the type of surface and the amount of use, more vigorous work could be required, normally from specialists in maintenance, to remove contamination and de-compact the infill on a regular basis. Details on maintenance are available from manufacturers.
