We'll be straight with you: you can and should do some turf maintenance yourself. But there's a point where DIY hits a wall. Here's where the line is.
What DIY handles well
- Rinsing the surface and pet spots regularly.
- Picking up leaves, twigs, and solid waste.
- Light brushing of high-traffic areas to keep fibers up.
Do this consistently and your turf will look good between professional visits.
What really needs a pro
- Odor that won't quit — because it lives in the infill, not on the surface. why that is.
- Matted, flattened turf — a professional power brush lifts fibers a stiff broom can't.
- Deep sanitizing for bacteria, mold, and buildup.
- Thinning infill that needs topping up.
