Guy's Guide to Turf Care & Maintenance
PRODUCTS & PARTNERSHIPS
ROUTINE TURF MAINTENENCE
Your turf doesn’t need much — just a little love and consistency. Use OxyTurf Deodorizer as often as needed to eliminate odors and keep your surface fresh.
For best results, stay ahead of buildup rather than waiting for smells or stains to appear.
We also offer a Professional Turf Sanitation Service. Give us a call, and we’ll schedule a visit for one of our technicians to deep clean and deodorize your turf so it always looks and smells brand new.
KEEP IT CLEAN
Keep your turf free of debris to extend its life and maintain that natural look.
Use a leaf blower, soft broom, or plastic rake to remove:
Tree leaves and pollen
Animal droppings
Outdoor debris, dirt, or sand buildup
Avoid letting debris sit and decompose into the turf — that’s the easiest way to prevent odors and maintain drainage efficiency.
A FEW MORE TIPS & TRICKS
Grooming and Brushing - Over time, foot traffic can flatten turf blades. Use a stiff synthetic brush or power broom to groom high-traffic areas and restore the natural upright look. Avoid metal bristles — they can damage the fibers.
Water Flow & Drainage - Turf is designed with a drainage system underneath. Keep it performing properly by:
Ensuring the surface below remains free of compacted debris.
Rinsing the turf occasionally with a hose to keep drainage channels clear.
Avoiding placing heavy planters or furniture that block drainage.
Turf Warranty & Care Disclaimer
At Guy’s Yard Design, we want your turf to look its best for years to come. Our products come with manufacturer warranties covering material quality, color fading, and backing integrity. However, certain activities or improper care may void that warranty.
To protect your investment, please review these important guidelines:
Things To Avoid
Harsh Chemicals: Skip detergents, solvents, bleach, or petroleum-based products. Stick to manufacturer-approved cleaners like OxyTurf Deodorizer.
Excessive Heat or Flame: Keep turf clear of BBQs, fire pits, fireworks, or other hot objects — synthetic fibers can melt.
Heavy Vehicles or Machinery: Do not drive or park cars, trucks, or equipment on turf; this can crush infill and damage the base.
Improper Tools: Avoid metal rakes or aggressive power brooms that can pull out fibers. Use soft synthetic brushes only.
DIY Modifications: Unauthorized infill materials, drainage issues, or incorrect installation may void warranties. Always consult our team for professional support.
Neglected Maintenance: Routine brushing, rinsing, and debris removal prevent matting, mold, and drainage issues.
Sharp Objects or Stakes: Avoid puncturing turf with tent stakes, pegs, or decorations.
Reflective Heat (Magnification Burn): Keep reflective windows, mirrors, or shiny surfaces from facing the turf. Concentrated sunlight can cause melting or discoloration.
Magnification Burn: What to Know
Magnification burn occurs when sunlight reflects off nearby surfaces and focuses heat on your turf, causing melting or brittleness.
Common culprits include:
Energy-efficient or reflective windows (low-E glass)
Metal surfaces, mirrors, chrome accents, or shiny décor
Pool floats, solar panels, or clear glass tables
Prevention Tips:
Install anti-reflective window films, reposition reflective items, or add shading elements like awnings or landscape screens.
