When making the switch to synthetic turf, a common concern with homeowners is if the synthetic turf is sustainable during the winter months. Synthetic turf is ideal for homeowners lawns because it’s available for activities year-round, so you are able to have a summery yard in the winter. Maintenance is a major reason for people switching to synthetic turf. Because Act Global’s synthetic turf goes through verified testing for intense climate conditions, it can stand the winter months perfectly.

A big myth about synthetic grass in the winter is that it will freeze or be damaged by frost. Act Global’s synthetic turf can’t freeze because of the verified testing that it goes through. This ensures maximum durability for the turf so that it is able to stand any intense weather conditions as well as look vibrant green in any climate. Although synthetic turf can’t be damaged by frost, it’s not good to walk on it. Walking on it can cause layers of ice packed into the turf and it’s also slippery. 

One benefit of synthetic turf in the winter months is that there is little maintenance. With natural grass, the winter months are rough and it’s a challenge just to keep it alive and green. Most of the time with harsh winters, natural grass will turn to a brown color or have dead spots scattered around a yard. With synthetic turf, snow can cover the turf and it will melt away. Or if in a hurry, there are ways to melt it quicker with hot water or warm towels. The snow melts away and the grass keeps that vibrant green look fully intact. Another benefit of synthetic turf in the winter is that you can fully use the yards. Around the holidays is usually when family gatherings take place. Having synthetic turf allows the yard to be an area for these family gatherings. Whether it’s playing some outside football with the family or just an area for the kids to run around, synthetic turf lawns ensure a fun and safe place for activity even in the coldest months. 

Having a synthetic turf lawn is ideal for various reasons. Not only will you be able to fully utilize the yard the winter months, but you will have little maintenance and upkeep as well as a beautiful yard to show off in any season.
