Artificial turf is one of the best investments you can make when you live in a desert climate.  Natural grass just isn’t suited to hot, dry climates. By switching to artificial turf, you’ll save countless hours on maintenance and significant money on water bills and fertilizers.

While it doesn’t heat up quite as much as asphalt or concrete, artificial turf can still get too hot for comfort during Reno, Nevada summers. 

The surface temperature of your synthetic turf should never be a reason to miss out on your favorite outdoor activities. To help you keep your artificial grass comfortable on even the hottest summer days, we’ve compiled a list of the best ways to cool down your turf.

1. Choose the Best Infill for Your Artificial Turf

Infill is important; it holds the blades upright, shields the backing from UV rays, and aids drainage to prevent odors and flooding.

Perhaps most importantly  – especially in the summer heat – is your artificial turf infill’s role in regulating the internal temperature of the blades. The best synthetic grass infill will allow your turf to “breathe” by encouraging airflow between the blades.  

Infills like silica sand are some of the best, as their light color makes them more resistant to absorbing heat from the sun.

2. Just Add Water

No, we’re not suggesting that you need to water your synthetic turf as though it were natural grass. Artificial grass doesn’t need to be watered, fertilized or mowed to stay lush and green.

However, a little rinse goes a long way to keep the surface of your artificial grass cool in the summer. A few minutes with a hose is often all your artificial turf needs to cool down.

3. Choose Artificial Grass That Doesn’t Overheat
