The Moore & Franks approach in Budleigh Salterton
Budleigh Salterton is full of well-kept, low-maintenance gardens — its older, settled residents and many dog owners are exactly the households that go for artificial grass, wanting a tidy lawn without the upkeep. But the milder coastal damp means the pile never properly dries on shaded plots, moss and algae take hold along the edges, and leaf fall from the mature gardens around South Farm Road works into the drainage backing. Pet areas build odour in the warmer months. We clear the growth and debris, power-brush the fibres back up, re-tuck lifted edges, and treat pet areas with a safe deodoriser that removes the smell rather than masking it.

We start by clearing the surface debris — leaves, moss, windblown dirt and pet hair that have worked down into the pile and started to block the drainage backing underneath. A build-up here is what turns a well-drained lawn into a soggy, smelly one, so getting it out is the first job.
Next we brush the pile back up. Foot traffic and sun flatten artificial grass over time, and power-brushing lifts the fibres so the lawn stands up and looks full again. While we're on it we check the edges and seams — Devon's damp lifts poorly-fixed edges and lets weeds seed along the perimeter, so we re-tuck what's lifted and clear any growth that's taken hold.
For pet owners, the finish is a sanitising treatment. Artificial grass doesn't absorb like real turf, but urine salts sit in the pile and the backing and build up an ammonia smell in warmer weather — masking it doesn't work, so we treat the surface with a cleaner that breaks the odour down at source. The products we use are safe for children and pets once dry.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions we get asked the most. If yours isn't here, drop us a line — we reply same day.
It depends on the size of the lawn, its age and condition, and whether it's a pet area needing deodorising — so we quote each job on inspection, free and with no obligation.
For most Devon gardens once a year keeps it in good order — more often for lawns under trees, on shaded north-facing plots, or in regular pet use. A spring clean after the winter is the most popular.
Yes. Urine salts sit in the pile and backing and build an ammonia smell in warm weather. We treat the surface with a cleaner that breaks the odour down at source rather than masking it — the products are safe for children and pets once dry.
Usually a blocked backing. When moss, leaf litter and dirt work down into the pile they clog the drainage holes in the backing, so water sits and algae takes hold. Clearing the debris and de-mossing restores the drainage.
No. We clean at low pressure and brush with the pile, not against it. Artificial grass is more delicate than a hard surface, so we never blast it — the aim is to lift and clean the fibres, not tear them.
