Winter Care for Artificial Turf in Texas

Texas winters are mild but can bring surprises. Here’s how to care for artificial turf during cooler months.

Routine Winter Maintenance

Leaf Removal

Fall leaves continue into winter. Remove regularly to prevent decomposition and staining.

Debris Check

Winter winds deposit debris. Weekly clearing keeps turf pristine.

Brush Occasionally

Less traffic in winter means fibers can flatten. Monthly brushing maintains appearance.

Snow and Ice Handling

When rare Texas snow arrives:

Light Snow

• Let it melt naturally
• No action needed

Heavy Snow

• Use plastic shovel (never metal)
• Push rather than scrape
• Leave thin layer to melt

Ice

• Let sun melt naturally
• NEVER use salt or de-icers
• Don’t chip at frozen turf

Freeze Preparation

Before hard freezes:

• Ensure drainage is clear
• Remove standing water
• Brush fibers upright

Winter Benefits

• No dormant brown grass
• No mud from winter rain
• No seasonal die-off
• Stays green through holidays
