In Arizona, our signature Sonoran Desert heat is back with Memorial Day, the official launch pad into summer. With summer highs averaging 105 degrees, taking care of landscaping is a brutal task this time of year.
If your landscaping clients only have you out occasionally and are doing some of their lawn maintenance themselves, they can save a lot of time in the extreme heat by replacing their lawns with artificial turf. On average, Americans spend about 70 hours per year maintaining their lawns and gardens. That time can be better spent enjoying indoor air conditioning, taking a dip in the pool, or exploring the state’s cooler northern regions.
For those not up to the task of contending with the heat, lawn maintenance can even turn deadly. From 2012 to 2023, more than 4,320 people died from heat exposure in Arizona, according to the Arizona Department of Health Services. While you may have figured out how to adapt to the heat, many of your landscaping clients, especially older adults and those with medical conditions, have not.
Help your clients have a safer and more enjoyable summer by talking to them about replacing their lawns with artificial turf. Whenever they’re ready to make the switch, they’ll find an abundant variety of synthetic grass options.
No matter what shades of green or weights of grass, we will help you find them what they need for heavy foot traffic or pet comfort. Arizona Turf Depot can meet all their needs.
