When to Install Artificial Turf in California

Fake grass turf has become the lawn of choice for home owners looking to replace a natural grass lawn for a more environmentally conscious choice, or those planning a total landscape makeover. One of the many great attributes of artificial turf is the fact that it always looks its best, all year round, for years. But the biggest question for Californians, “is there a certain time of year that is best to install your artificial grass?”

The shortest answer is no. Artificial grass is completely accommodating, and helpful at any time of year, so you can install it whenever the time is right for you. We know you’ve chosen this alternative for one (or perhaps all) of these reasons:

• Improve your home’s visual appearance without having to perform constant lawn maintenance such as; watering, weeding, planting and more.
• Creating a high-quality, reliable outdoor recreation space for your family and your pets.
• Avoid applying harsh chemicals like fertilizers and weed killers to your yard or outdoor space.
• Conserve water as much as possible.

The Weather Doesn’t Matter when it comes to Artificial Grass in California

Cold temperatures will not harm the materials used in manufacturing or installation of your artificial grass. With Artificial Turf Supply, the summer sun and heat won’t cause the materials to degrade, discolor, or become damaged. The timing of your turf installation depends more on where and how you plan to use the turf. However, there are also certain advantages to choosing one season over another.

Installing Artificial Turf in Spring

Many home owners prefer to install their artificial turf first thing in the spring, as we’re starting to think of using our yards. With this timing, you can cleverly avoid the dreaded annual “spring cleaning” maintenance that every yard must undergo. Your artificial grass will never require any of that, so you might as well start saving time and energy right away.

Spring installation also eliminates weeds that would normally start to appear at this time. That prevents them from becoming an immediate problem, and it prevents them from maturing and distributing seeds to grow new weeds throughout your landscape.

Installing Turf in Fall

Another popular time for installing Artificial Grass is in early fall, after the summer’s heat and the rush of outdoor activities have slowed. The ground is turf-ready. Weeds and grass can be easily removed by the root, eliminating their ability to resurface in the spring. Installing the turf in the early fall will give you a pretty, vibrant green lawn to admire throughout the cold winter months, when natural grass often turns unappealingly brown and brittle.

And when spring rolls around, you won’t have to do any maintenance on the lawn to keep it looking great and healthy. Instead, you can simply step outside and start enjoying your new fake grass turf lawn.

Installing Fake Grass Indoors

If you will be placing fake grass inside your home – say, in your basement or sun room – you can do that any time that’s convenient for you. Artificial grass can improve your indoor living environment by giving it a completely new look & feel, with the unique idea of utilizing fake grass indoors. Artificial Turf Supply’s artificial grass is also moisture-resistant, unlike other types of carpeting that can absorb dampness, inviting mold and mildew.

The Sooner, the Better

If your primary goal is landscape beautification, you may not be concerned about the time of year. However, if you have children and/or pets that look forward to romping on your grass, you’ll want to plan accordingly to make the most of their (and your) spring and summer outdoor activities.

There’s no reason to wait any longer to order your turf installation. Artificial grass delivers instant gratification, no matter the season. If you’re looking for more information about Artificial Grass, call Artificial Turf Supply at 1-877-525-TURF!
