Artificial Grass Cleaning in Crediton

The Moore & Franks approach in Crediton

Crediton's family homes and newer estates — Pedlerspool and the developments climbing toward Forches Cross — have plenty of the compact, low-maintenance gardens that artificial grass suits, and there are dog-owning rural households right across the town and outlying villages. But Crediton sits low in the damp Creedy valley where mornings stay wet well into spring, so shaded plots green up in the pile, and leaf fall off the heavy tree cover around the town blocks the drainage backing. We clear the moss and debris, power-brush the fibres back up, sort lifted edges and weeds, and treat pet areas with a child- and pet-safe deodoriser.

The ground around Crediton is that famous red Devon earth, and in a wet week it travels — on boots, paws and wheelbarrows — straight across the garden. Real grass hides it; artificial grass shows it, first as a rusty film that dulls the colour, then as fine grit working down among the fibres with everything else the winter brings. It comes out well once the pile is opened up and properly brushed through, and the lift in colour afterwards is striking. Keeping muddy routes off the lawn in the wettest months helps it stay that way for longer.

Out in the villages — Sandford, Shobrooke, Newton St Cyres — the plots run bigger and back onto hedge and field, so a lawn there collects far more windblown leaf, seed and organic muck than a town garden, and weeds push in hard along the borders. We work these in sections, clearing the whole surface and giving the perimeter proper attention, since on a rural plot it is the edges and the hedge line that let growth back in fastest.

Because the valley is slow to dry, the sensible slot for a full clean is late spring, once the ground has finally warmed and dried a little — that clears the winter's algae before the garden gets its summer use. A shaded plot under the town's heavy tree cover may want a lighter second visit in autumn. Sweeping leaves off before they bed in keeps the backing draining and stretches the time between cleans.
