With the deepening of winter, many areas have been covered with heavy snow. Snow is certainly a beautiful scene, but snow will have varying degrees of impact on people’s daily life and physical exercise.

As we all know, the raw materials of artificial turf are weather-resistant, and the cold and hot temperatures will not affect the service life of artificial turf. Under normal circumstances, the snow and ice covering the artificial turf will melt and evaporate or be discharged out of the field as the temperature warms up. With the intensification of the cold weather in the north, it becomes almost impossible for the ice and snow covering the lawn to melt and evaporate by itself, so these outdoor artificial lawns will inevitably be frozen into “ice grass” and become fragile and easily broken. The site should not be used before the ice and snow melt, otherwise, the grass will be damaged and the service life of the lawn will be affected.

At this time, the maintenance of artificial turf is particularly important. This article describes in detail how to maintain artificial turf covered by ice and snow.

1. Clearing machine/snowblower

If the snow is dry like powder, it can be removed from the playing field with a snow blower or a rotating brush, being careful not to sink the machine deep into the grass fibers when using it.

2. Remove with a rubber-scraping snow plow

Snow On sports fields, it is easier to remove wet or heavy snow with a snow plow.
