High-quality artificial turf is designed for outdoor use and can withstand snow and frost. Because water drains through the surface and the substructure, good drainage prevents frost damage.
Winter Tips
- Let snow thaw naturally
- if necessary, clear it only with a plastic shovel and leave a thin layer in place
- avoid using de-icing salt
- frozen blades are more brittle – avoid heavy use until they have thawed
After Winter
In spring, remove leaves and dirt and brush up the blades. A thorough spring cleaning will bring your lawn back into shape – see Cleaning Artificial Turf.
