In Arizona, changing seasons bring lower temperatures that are great for enjoying the outdoors. However, given the dramatic difference between highs of more than 100 degrees in the summer and lows that can dip below freezing in the winter, these changes result in a need to change lawn types by the season. The Bermuda grass that Arizona grows in spring and summer can’t survive the cold temperatures of winter in the Sonoran Desert. This means that every fall, lawn owners in the Valley need to follow an overseeding procedure that involves reducing fertilizer and water, cutting the Bermuda grass short and seeding the ground with ryegrass. The ryegrass seed then takes time to grow, needing fertilizer and a proper watering schedule to ensure it matures into a lush lawn. This process takes hours of time and maintenance. The grass also looks dead and yellowed as the new lawn grows, leaving landscaping looking unsightly in the interim. After winter ends and transitions to spring, when temperatures at night stay above 65 degrees consistently, the process then needs to be repeated all over again to regrow Bermuda grass. And so goes the use of time and money to keep a natural lawn green year after year in the desert. Artificial turf cuts out all this labor, so landscaping projects look great all year without hours seeding, watering, and fertilizing. November is an ideal time to encourage the switch to synthetic grass. This means less maintenance and reduced water needs as you only need to spray it occasionally to clean the synthetic grass. And no need to replace when the seasons change. Artificial grass can last between seven to 25 years. At Arizona Turf Depot, we offer multiple grass styles to choose from to meet a variety of needs from putting greens to pet areas. Our synthetic grass will transform your Arizona landscaping projects in atriums, yards, sports fields and more by vastly reducing maintenance requirements.
