Define the work
Ask a contractor to explain which parts of your turf system a service addresses. Request the equipment, cleaning products, and steps in writing so you can compare them with your manufacturer’s requirements.
Keep expectations measurable
Our editorial checklist: discuss the visible problem, agree on access and drying arrangements, ask how infill will be protected, and document what the service includes. A treatment name alone is not a complete scope of work.
Check manufacturer guidance
FieldTurf’s FAQ distinguishes routine maintenance activities including brushing and sweeping. Use your own supplier’s instructions when deciding which operations are appropriate for your surface.
