Follow these steps to restore structural support to your synthetic grass:
- Procure appropriate infill: Purchase the specific type and grade of infill (e.g., silica sand or rubber granules) originally specified by your turf manufacturer to ensure compatibility.
- Prepare the surface: Use a leaf blower or vacuum to clear all organic debris from the matted area.
- Apply new infill: Distribute the infill evenly across the affected area until the level reaches the manufacturer's recommended height, ensuring you do not exceed the top of the turf backing.
- Lift the fibers: Operate a mechanical power broom over the area. The broom will lift the flattened fibers while simultaneously working the new infill deep into the turf base to provide permanent structural support.
- Verify the fix: Inspect the area to ensure fibers remain in an upright position and the infill level is uniform and consistent with the surrounding, non-matted turf.
Safety Precautions: Wear protective eyewear and a dust mask when handling fine-grain infill materials to avoid inhalation or eye irritation.
