Choosing the Right Synthetic Turf for Your Climate

Some homeowners are lucky enough to live in places with sun all year round. However, most people struggle with their outdoor maintenance with changing climates; that’s where synthetic turf is beneficial.

Think, for example, areas prone either to rainy seasons and mild flooding or drought. A supplier's synthetic turf offering must be easy to install, adaptable, and able to suit different weather conditions. 

When choosing a turf supplier, looking at artificial grass options that can suit all four seasons is important for installers or contractors. 

Hot Regions Susceptible to Drought

When your client's home is in a location prone to extremely hot weather and droughts, it's important to consider certain artificial turf benefits. The first benefit is that the vibrant green color of top-notch synthetic turf won't fade in the sunlight.

High heat and direct sunlight can turn natural grass a gross yellow-brown, especially during the hot summer weeks. Offering SealTuft's synthetic turf can help fulfill climate-specific needs and ensure that grass is always rich green in hot weather. 

Another point to consider is that when drought warnings are in place, watering natural lawns is frowned upon and wastes valuable water. Artificial grass is a great option for homeowners looking to save water and show off lush green yards all year.  

Does synthetic turf hold up in desert climates? 

YES! SealTuft's high-quality synthetic turf is designed to withstand extreme temperatures, including the intense heat in desert regions. It helps resist fading, melting, or becoming overly hot to the touch, ensuring durability and visual appeal even in hot climates.

Rainy Places Where Drainage is Paramount 

Drainage is important to consider when looking at synthetic turf and climate. Picture a neighborhood experiencing a torrential downpour, and the lawn becomes soaked. 

Without good design and drainage, the homeowner's once beautiful synthetic turf can quickly become a maintenance nightmare. That's when the calls and the one-star reviews on Google may start rolling in.

There are 2 aspects to dealing with large amounts of rainfall when designing and installing synthetic grass.  First is dealing with water flowing into the area from a nearby slope, gutters from the roof, or any other source.  This drain pipe and base installation issue needs proper design and engineering to deal with incoming water sources.  The second issue where SealTuft truly outperforms is the ability to get the water below the turf's backing through vertical drainage.  

Bad drainage capacity in synthetic turf can compromise the intended appearance and ambiance of a meticulously planned outdoor area. That is why it is crucial for installers to recognize the importance of drainage capacity and that it holds significance beyond aesthetics—it also directly impacts the functionality and lifespan of the turf.

SealTuft effectively addresses these concerns by providing synthetic grass with an exceptional drainage capacity that surpasses competitors. With the ability to drain 10 times faster at 1,000 inches per hour, SealTuft ensures that your synthetic grass remains safe, dry, and visually appealing.

Snow and Winter-Friendly Turf

Expecting snow? There are specific things to look for when choosing artificial turf for snow-prone locations. 

Drainage capacity is also extremely important when looking at synthetic turf and climate in snowy places! Artificial turf with a robust and efficient drainage system helps prevent water or melted snow from pooling on the surface, which can lead to icy patches and potential slipping hazards. 

Permeable synthetic turf, like SealTuft's, is also important as it will enable the snow to drain easily and prevent the accumulation of moisture.

SealTuft offers a unique turf option that drains well, and the reverse direction is important in cold climates. The basic scientific law of thermodynamics is that warm air moves towards cold air. SealTuft is the undisputed leader in installing natural thermo warming of the turf from below to melt snow quickly. Football and soccer fields, playgrounds, and pet play areas can all benefit by melting the snow soon and naturally without using many expensive employee labor hours clearing snow.

A great thing about winter is that heavy snow can act as a protective cover from the UV rays of the sun for artificial grass, safeguarding and prolonging the lifespan of the blades. In general, using and playing on synthetic turf is safe when there is snow. 

Caution must be taken with snow removal - be mindful not to dig into or damage the turf blades when using a snow shovel. Snow blowers are fine to use on the turf as long as the rubber blower blades are in good condition. Also, remember to avoid using salt or other chemicals to melt snow or ice on artificial turf, as they can harm the turf and the underlying foundation.
