Summer is one of the busiest seasons for outdoor projects — and if you’ve been thinking about upgrading your lawn, there’s no better time than now to install artificial turf.
With long daylight hours, dry weather, and peak home improvement momentum, many Colorado Springs homeowners are making the smart choice to replace natural grass with synthetic turf that looks great year-round and requires virtually no maintenance.
In this post, we’ll break down why summer is the ideal season to install turf, what to expect during the process, and how Dominion Turf makes it easier than ever to transform your lawn.
Benefits of Installing Artificial Turf in Summer
- Perfect Weather for Installation
Colorado’s summers are warm and dry — ideal for turf installation. Rain delays are minimal, and materials like base rock and infill set properly without issues.
Summer weather also allows:
- Smoother ground prep and grading
- Faster project timelines
- Optimal seam bonding and turf adhesion
- Be Ready to Enjoy Your Yard
Get your yard completed just in time for:
- Backyard BBQs
- Kids’ playtime
- Pet-friendly lounging
- Entertaining guests
A synthetic lawn installed in early summer means you can enjoy a lush, green yard all season long — without the hassle of mowing, watering, or fighting weeds.
- Avoid Watering Restrictions
Colorado Springs often experiences watering limitations in late summer. Turf is the perfect drought-resistant solution.
By switching to artificial turf, you:
- Conserve thousands of gallons of water annually
- Avoid penalties or fines for overwatering
- Keep your lawn green even through dry spells
