What happens to turf over time
Foot traffic, heat, and gravity flatten every turf
Artificial turf fibers are designed to stand up and spring back when you walk on them. That works for a while. But over months and years, the combination of foot traffic, pet traffic, sun exposure, and the weight of the infill settling causes fibers to lean in the direction of the wear pattern. Once they lean, the turf looks flat, the green color looks duller, and the whole surface reads as old even though it's structurally fine. Consumer-grade brooms don't have the motor power to actually lift the fibers, and stiff bristle brushes damage the tips. The best broom for artificial turf isn't one you buy off a shelf, it's a professional power broom run by someone who knows how hard to push it.
The fix isn't replacement
A commercial broom lifts fibers that have been flat for years
The fix is power brooming against the grain of the wear pattern. Commercial-grade power-brooming equipment, properly operated, can lift fibers that have been flat for years. Done at the right angle and speed, it restores the original spring without damaging the fibers.
- Against the grain We run the broom against the direction of the wear pattern so leaned-over fibers stand back up.
- Commercial-grade equipment Real motor power lifts compacted fibers that consumer brooms and stiff brushes can't touch.
- Right angle and speed Operated correctly, it restores the original spring without damaging the fiber tips.
Our Process
How we power broom artificial turf
Four steps, every visit, the same way each time. The equipment matters more than the labor, so we map the wear before we touch the surface.
-
Assessment
We map high-traffic paths and collapsed zones.
-
Broom pass
Commercial-grade equipment lifts fibers against the grain.
-
Infill rebalance
Back-sweep and rake the infill to even depth.
-
Inspection
Second pass for touch-ups and consistency check.
$149 standalone, or built into every deep clean
Power brooming as a standalone service runs $149 for most residential yards. Every deep-clean tier includes a power-brush pass to stand the blades back up, and The Works adds the full fiber rebloom with infill redistribution for turf that has gone flat and matted. Most homeowners book it as part of a deep clean since the rebloom pairs perfectly with the Spotless Odor Cure sanitize. Commercial rates are quoted separately.
-
Matting and traffic mapping
Full matting and high-traffic zone mapping before any pass begins.
-
Commercial-grade power-brooming equipment
Commercial-grade power-brooming equipment, the right head type for artificial turf.
-
Full surface pass
A pass across the entire turf surface against the fiber grain.
-
Infill redistribution
Infill redistribution and leveling so depth is even across the yard.
-
Back-sweep on stubborn areas
A back-sweep on stubborn matted areas that need a second lift.
-
Final walk-through
A final walk-through and touch-up before we call it done.
Common Questions
What people ask about power brooming
The honest answers we give homeowners before they book. If yours is not here, our full guide covers the rest.
- How do I know if my turf needs power brooming?
- Walk across your turf barefoot. If the fibers feel crushed flat and do not spring back, it is matted. If you can see foot-traffic paths, pet trails, or areas where the green color looks duller than the rest, it is matted. Power brooming fixes all of that in a single visit.
- How often should artificial turf be power broomed?
- Every 3 to 6 months for most residential yards, quarterly for commercial or pet-heavy use. Southern Utah sun and heat make fibers flatten faster than in milder climates, so most St. George homeowners need it at least twice a year.
- Can I rent a power broom and do it myself?
- You can, but rented consumer-grade power brooms are underpowered and usually leave the fibers only partially lifted. They also do not redistribute infill correctly, which means you get a short-term cosmetic fix without the real restoration. Our commercial-grade extraction and power-brooming equipment moves infill properly and lifts fibers in a single pass.
- Will power brooming damage my turf?
- No. Done correctly with the right equipment and speed, power brooming is exactly what the fibers are designed to withstand. Done wrong with a stiff brush or the wrong angle, it can fray the fiber tips. That is why we use a specific commercial broom head and trained technique.
- How long does power brooming take?
- 30 to 60 minutes for a standard residential yard. Larger commercial properties take longer. We can include it in a deep clean visit (recommended) or schedule it as a standalone service.
