A cordless battery powered leaf blower is ideal for artificial grass. In most cases all that's required to keep your synthetic lawn clean and clear of debris is a quick once over with a blower.

Using a Leaf Blower on Artificial Grass

Artificial grass is incredibly low maintenance and it may be one of the reasons you chose it in the first place. When it comes to maintaining it there really isn't a lot that needs to be done aside from the odd clearing of debris and occasionally deep cleaning with an artificial grass enzyme cleaner if you have dogs that use the grass as a bathroom.

As an artificial lawn owner you likely only need to use a broom or rake for spot cleaning and why not make the task even easier by using a leaf blower. An artificial grass leaf blower literally replaces the need to use a broom to get rid of leaves and twigs. It's even more necessary if you are physically unable to rake leaves or you just don't have the time. There may be a local company that provides an artificial grass cleaning service that will give your grass a thorough clean, often yearly. 

The bottom line is that the more often your lawn is kept clean the lower the likelihood of weeds, bacteria and other organisms taking hold is. In a perfect world you should keep debris off at all times but the advantage with an artificial grass leaf blower is you can very quickly and efficiently clean the grass off, not only keeping it looking great and preventing potential issues, it will likely last longer as well.
