6. SEASONAL MAINTENANCE TIPS
Adjust your care routine depending on different weather conditions throughout the seasons. Prepare for heavy rain or wintry conditions by ensuring proper drainage to avoid matting.

Annual professional maintenance is also advised.
7. ENSURING SAFETY FOR PETS
Regularly check for jagged objects or debris that could hurt your pets during playtime. Verify the absence of toxic chemicals in fertilizers or pesticides that may be used in the nearby area.
