The Case for Turf 🌱 Why Artificial Grass Makes Sense in Late Summer

Less water, less work, and a lawn that looks great year-round.

By the time late summer rolls around in South Louisiana, many lawns are looking tired. Between scorching temperatures, heavy foot traffic, and unpredictable rain, even the best-kept yards can struggle to stay green.

That’s where turf comes in.


Our current project had the client's battle with patchy grass for long enough. The goal was simple: create a beautiful, low-maintenance yard that would look great year-round, be durable enough for dogs, and eliminate the frustration of inconsistent grass growth.

💧 Say Goodbye to Sky-High Water Bills

Grass is thirsty—especially in August.

  • Turf doesn’t need regular watering, which means lower utility bills and less stress on your irrigation system.

  • In areas with watering restrictions or drought conditions, turf is a smart and sustainable solution.


🛠 Maintenance-Free Looks, 24/7

Forget the mower, the weed-eater, and the endless edging.

  • Turf stays green and perfectly manicured with minimal upkeep.

  • No more muddy patches, bare spots, or pests hiding in the grass.

☀️ Summer Is a Great Time to Install

Many homeowners wait until fall, but late summer is actually ideal:

  • Why? Crews have better availability, and your turf will be ready to enjoy by the time the cooler weather (and tailgating season) hits.

  • Plus, turf gives you instant curb appeal without waiting for grass to grow.


👣 Perfect for High-Traffic Areas

Have pets, kids, or frequent gatherings? Turf holds up.

  • It’s tough, durable, and doesn’t get patchy in high-use zones.

  • Great for play areas, dog runs, pool decks, courtyards, or shady spots where real grass struggles.


✅ Clean, Safe, and Allergen-Free

No more mud tracked into the house after a rainstorm.

  • Turf doesn’t harbor pests or produce pollen the way natural grass can.

  • Optional infill materials can reduce heat retention and improve comfort underfoot.
