What is the secret to a great looking astroturf surface all year round? Ensuring it is well kept of course!

Astroturf maintenance should be a priority after any surface has been installed. This doesn’t all need to be outsourced, there’s lots that can be done in-house too. Picking up debris including litter and leaves can really help to discourage contaminants from causing drainage problems and this will help to ensure your surface looks as good as new for many years to come!

However, after a while, good quality outsourced maintenance is indeed a necessity, especially for something as large scale as our Northfields job in Billingham, Teesside.

The school has had this astroturf MUGA for nearly two years, and it still looks as good as new thanks to the astroturf maintenance packages we offer at STM.

Part of the maintenance is to use this Ferrari (no not the high class car make!) to help clear the debris and ensure the pile is sitting where it should be. This piece of high tech machinery works wonders when it comes to synthetic grass.

Blowing larger debris off may seem like a straightforward process, but if you don’t have the time, we can do all of this for you.

The Ferrari is also used as a tool to help spread infill whether that be 3G rubber granules or sand

As part of the maintenance package we inspect all areas of the astoturf to ensure no sections are loose or coming away which could be a safety hazard. We also provide moss/algae treatment too.
