All You Need to Know About Turf Cleaning Services in Sydney

The use of turf is quite common in commercial establishments such as hotels, golf courses, hospitals, and corporate buildings in Sydney. Regular turf cleaning is essential to keep these green spaces beautiful and safe for users.

Turfs are outdoor spaces, usually covered with grass, that not only add to the beauty of a place but also have practical uses such as sports grounds and playgrounds for kids.

However, maintaining a turf can be challenging due to its expansive size. Whether you’re using real turf or artificial turf in your commercial property, regular cleaning is vital to keep it in good shape. Here’s everything you need to know about professional commercial cleaning in Sydney.

What is Turf Cleaning?

Routine turf cleaning involves removing dirt, loose debris, organic matter, weeds, soil, pests and contaminants from grass, turf or astroturf to make it clean and safe.

The goal of turf cleaning is to remove daily debris and maintain the turf’s attractive appearance. It also helps free it from contaminants such as sharp objects that can harm users.

Besides synthetic turf cleaning, monthly deep grass cleaning is equally important to handle hidden issues that may be affecting the health and quality of turf. For instance, there may be mould eating up the turf. Timely detection and handling of underlying issues are crucial to maintaining a long-lasting appearance of your turf.

What to clean in a turf?

A professional knows what to look for when cleaning a turf. Besides loose dirt and visible debris, plenty of minor but significant issues might turn up with poorly maintained turf.

These include unwanted weeds growing along with grass, compacted soil due to heavy foot traffic and poor airflow, pest infestation due to lack of regular cleaning, and debris or soil blocking water drainage to cause water logging of turf.

Why is routine turf cleaning important? (Benefits)

If you care about keeping your turf clean, attractive and safe for your visitors and staff, hire a professional for regular turf maintenance, including deep cleaning once a month.

There are many other reasons to clean your commercial turf regularly:

• It helps the turf look lush green and beautiful
• A well-maintained turf makes your property look more attractive
• It increases the property’s overall charm and value
• Routine maintenance helps keep the turf safe for children and visitors (reduces the risk of accidents)
• It’s good for the environment too.
• Regular cleaning ensures playgrounds are in tip-top shape.
• It increases the turf’s lifespan and reduces the need for expensive repairs or replacements.

How frequently should you clean a turf?

Wondering how often a turf should be cleaned? Well, it depends on several factors, such as the size and type of turf, climate, style and frequency of use, soil composition, exposure to dirt, and safety concerns.

Ideally, you should monitor the turf daily. Any visible debris should be cleaned as and when possible. Basic surface-level cleaning is recommended once or twice a week to keep the grass free from dirt and contaminants. Keep an eye out for weed and pest infestation and have them removed immediately.

How professional turf cleaning works

Turf cleaning is complex. You may have no idea how or where to begin. The turf is usually so big and sometimes so dirty that you cannot hope to clean it without professional help.

Having many years of experience in commercial cleaning, we know what to look for when cleaning a commercial turf. We take a tailored approach to artificial lawn cleaning, where our cleaning process is customised to your particular needs and the condition of your turf.

What we do will depend on what needs to be cleaned on the turf. We make a plan only after inspecting the turf and analysing its condition. Here’s how it goes:

1. Analysing the turf

The first step is on-site inspection. When you contact us for a turf cleaning service, we might ask you for details about your space and what needs to be cleaned. It’s better to arrange an on-site inspection, which allows us to take a closer look at your turf and its cleaning requirements.

We analyse the turf based on its size, type, condition, soil quality, damage, and pest and weed infections, among other things.

The first on-site inspection is free. Contact us to book yours.

2. Creating a cleaning plan

Based on what we find in our analysis, we create a tailored turf cleaning plan, including a checklist of things to do, the best cleaning methods and the most appropriate cleaning equipment for the job.

Specialised equipment or machines may be required for tasks such as lawn mowing, fertilization, weed removal and overseeding. To control the growth of pests, we may need to apply chemical treatment. The plan will include everything along with the best quote for the service.

We at Clean Group use green cleaning products and methods that are safe for both the environment and humans (and pets). So, you can rest assured knowing that our cleaning is meant to only protect your loved ones.

3. Cleaning a turf

We start with basic, surface-level cleaning. First, our turf cleaners will remove all the visible dirt and debris from the turf using appropriate methods to not damage the grass.

We can mow the grass (not applicable to artificial turf), if needed, to remove/hide pests and weeds and aerate the soil.

If there is a pest infestation, we can get the turf chemically treated to remove pests.

We also apply appropriate natural fertilisers, as and when needed, to boost the growth and protect grass from weeds and pests.
