To achieve a level lawn of artificial grass, we must remove uneven topsoil before starting the installation. Ensure that there are no materials or weeds under the turf.
How to Make Artificial Turf Comfortable During the Summer
Artificial lawns can become too hot for your children or pets to play on during very hot days. Temperatures on the turf can go as high as 150 degrees F. This is quite uncomfortable. We need to address this problem during the installation.
The solution primarily lies in the choice of materials. Selecting a lighter color of turf and infill will help keep the temperature down. Moreover, you should also avoid using rubber infills.
