Artificial grass is the perfect addition to your home, especially when your summers are packed with exciting outdoor activities. But as temperatures soar, you may notice your artificial lawn getting a bit warm, especially if placed in direct sunlight. High-quality artificial grass, like Easigrass, is designed to withstand the best and worst weather conditions, including the summer heat. With proper care and occasional cooling techniques, you can ensure your lawn remains comfortable and enjoyable all season long.

How Hot Does Artificial Grass Get?

While it’s true that artificial grass can become hot when exposed to the blazing sun for long periods, it won’t burn your feet if you’re enjoying a walk in the garden. There are several factors that can affect the temperature of your lawn, such as the type of infill used and the local climate.

Whether we’re experiencing another heatwave or you’re just looking for ways to protect your synthetic lawn from the sun, here’s how to keep your artificial grass cool:

Use a Hose Pipe

If you need a quick and simple way to cool your artificial lawn, just use a hose. This helps reduce the temperature while washing away dirt and dust particles, which helps keep it looking lush and fresh. Worried about puddles? Don’t! Easigrass artificial grass products provide excellent drainage with a permeable backing that allows water to simply wash away.

Add Shade

Your turf heats up due to consistent exposure to the sun. Therefore, a simple solution is to provide it with shade. If you don’t have shade-bearing trees in your garden, a wonderful alternative is a canopy, pergola or garden umbrella. The durability of artificial grass makes adding garden furniture a breeze, ensuring you’ll never have to worry about heavy items damaging it.

Incorporate Plants

Incorporating different types of plants throughout your garden is a great way to enhance the aesthetics of your outdoor space while also cooling your artificial grass. The natural process of photosynthesis and the transpiration process naturally cool down the surrounding area and reduce the heat absorption from the ground. Creeping thyme and Sedum are great additions to your garden.

Use Heat Reducing Infills

To ensure a natural look and feel, our team of installers use infill to stabilise and support your artificial grass blades. While our team will always advise you on the best infill to utilise, our Easizeo is a great option if you’re worried about your lawn getting too hot. This revolutionary product is an organic infill designed to reduce odour and heat build-up. Developed with 100 per cent organic volcanic ash minerals, Easizeo is great for summer days and homes with pets.
