No matter how hard you try, you just can’t control the elements! Inclement weather is simply a part of life — rainstorms occur, droughts drag on, and blizzards interrupt your day (or week). Even if you’re warm and cozy inside for the duration of those poor weather conditions, your home’s exterior, specifically your grass, bears the brunt of it all. Instead of spending hours and days restoring your natural grass, there is a way to maintain a beautiful, verdant landscape rain or shine. Here, we’ll help you discover why synthetic grass is the ultimate landscaping solution for all types of weather conditions.

It’s Drought-Proof

Colorado is no stranger to periods of drought. For natural grass, drought can cause long-term damage to both the grass and the soil underneath, making it costly and difficult to restore the landscape to its former glory. Traditional grass becomes brittle, turning into dry, brown patches that are both unsightly and expensive to remedy.

Synthetic grass doesn’t require frequent rain in order to thrive. These fibers will remain strong, green, and beautiful without consistent rainfall, helping you maintain gorgeous grass no matter the length of a drought period.

It Performs Well In Rain

Although rain is necessary for natural grass to stay healthy, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have the potential to introduce damage to your lawn. Soggy, muddy areas are breeding grounds for bacteria and fungus, which can be harmful to your pets, family, and your grass itself. 

When it comes to artificial grass, the opportunity for bacteria growth is significantly lower due to the antimicrobial nature of the infill ingredients and turf fiber coating. Synthetic turf is also specifically installed with drainage features that prevent water from collecting in uneven deposits and ruining your gorgeous landscape.

It Can Withstand Flood Conditions

When there is too much rain, flood conditions can thoroughly destroy all the hard work you’ve invested into your traditional grass lawn. Flooding starves grass of the oxygen it needs to live and breathe. It also allows sediment to build on the surface of grass, further preventing it from absorbing crucial nutrients from the sun. Floods can also uproot grass, leaving you with bare areas in your backyard or front yard.

Unlike artificial grass, natural grass doesn’t have the drainage features necessary to prevent excessive flooding. With synthetic grass, you can feel confident knowing your landscape is secure enough to remain in place even when floodwaters are running rampant.

It Remains Intact During Hailstorms

If heavy hail has the power to damage roofs, home siding, and even vehicles, it can definitely disrupt to health of your grass lawn. Hailstones rip through grass blades, making it difficult for your lawn to grow uniformly after the storm. When the rain melts, it can also collect in certain areas, leading to flooding that deprives these grass patches of their much-needed nutrients.

Artificial grass is made from durable, synthetic fibers that are built to withstand impact. Any flattened areas of synthetic can also be quickly re-bloomed and fluffed, whereas traditional grass can take months to regrow.

It Stays Beautiful Despite Harsh Snow

Snow can be pearly white and gorgeous when it first falls. However, over time, it can freeze into icy sheets that hold your grass hostage. Then, once it finally melts, the ice turns your grass into a damp, slushy surface that is difficult to walk across and enjoy. 

Since synthetic grass doesn’t have soil, there’s no need to avoid your grass after snowmelt due to fear of slipping on muddy areas. Artificial grass also doesn’t need sunlight and nutrients to remain green and beautiful. That means when the snow melts and warmer weather comes along, all you’ll be left with is the perfect landscape you know and love.
