How Does Heat Affect My Synthetic Grass Installation?
When installing synthetic grass in hot climates like Houston, understanding how heat impacts your turf is essential. At Orion Turf & Landscape, we specialize in designing durable, heat-resistant synthetic grass solutions that stand up to the Texas sun. Here’s what to know about managing heat with your synthetic grass installation.
How High Temperatures Impact Synthetic Grass
Potential for Increased Surface Temperature
In direct sunlight, synthetic grass can become hotter than natural grass, sometimes reaching temperatures that may feel uncomfortable to walk on. This is due to synthetic fibers absorbing and retaining heat more than natural grass. However, at Orion Turf & Landscape, we offer heat-resistant turf options designed to mitigate this effect, so you can enjoy a cooler surface, even in the peak summer heat.
Effects on Grass Color and Durability
High temperatures can potentially cause discoloration or wear in low-quality synthetic grass. That’s why we source only top-grade materials that resist fading and damage from UV exposure. Quality synthetic grass not only withstands Houston’s extreme heat but also retains its vibrant green appearance, enhancing your lawn’s curb appeal year-round.
Heat Management Solutions for Synthetic Grass
Cooling Infill Options
One effective solution to manage heat is cooling infill, a type of specialized material added to the base of your synthetic grass to help reduce surface temperatures. Cooling infills can lower temperatures by up to 30 degrees, making your lawn more comfortable for outdoor activities. Our team at Orion Turf & Landscape can discuss these options with you to determine the best choice for your lawn.
Shade Solutions and Watering Tips
Adding shade through trees, pergolas, or sun sails can also help cool your synthetic lawn. Additionally, lightly rinsing your synthetic grass with water on especially hot days can reduce surface temperature temporarily, providing immediate cooling for outdoor use.
