Artificial Grass Does Not Get Too Hot in the Summer

One of the most common misconceptions about artificial grass is that it becomes unbearably hot under the scorching sun. While it is true that artificial turf can absorb heat, advancements in technology have addressed this issue. Modern synthetic grass from SYNLawn Chesapeake Bay is manufactured with advanced materials and infills that minimize heat absorption and provide better heat dissipation. Additionally, choosing lighter-colored artificial grass or using shade structures can further reduce surface temperatures.

Artificial Turf Does Not Require Excessive Maintenance in the Summer 

Unlike traditional turf, which demands regular watering and mowing during the summer, artificial turf offers a low-maintenance solution for homes and businesses in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington D.C. With synthetic turf, you can bid farewell to the hours spent watering and mowing, and, instead, enjoy your summer days more stress-free. This is because our artificial grass requires minimal maintenance, such as occasional brushing to keep the fibers upright and removing any debris that may accumulate. This allows you to spend more time relaxing and enjoying your outdoor space rather than working on it.

Artificial Grass is Environmentally Friendly

Contrary to popular belief, artificial turf can be an environmentally friendly choice in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington D.C. While it does not offer the same level of biodiversity as traditional grass, it eliminates the need for harmful pesticides, fertilizers, and excessive water usage. By conserving water and reducing chemical usage, our artificial grass contributes positively to water conservation efforts and reduces pollution. Additionally, our high-quality synthetic turf is made from recycled materials and can be recycled at the end of its lifespan, promoting greater sustainability.

Artificial Grass Drains Well and Discourages Pests

Properly installed artificial grass by our professionals is designed to allow for effective drainage. Advanced drainage systems integrated into the base of our artificial turf ensure that rainwater and any other liquids can easily drain away. This prevents the accumulation of water and helps maintain a cleaner and drier surface. 

As for pests, synthetic grass is not more prone to attracting insects or other unwanted critters than conventional grass. In fact, it can deter pests by removing the elements that attract them, such as standing water and organic matter.
