Artificial turf in Glendale, AZ
Glendale (Maricopa County) has about 253,855 residents. Here is what the local climate means for a turf lawn, which of our nine lines we would pick, and who can install it.
The climate in Glendale, in numbers
Summer afternoons in Glendale average 104 F, so a lawn here spends months under strong sun. Real grass needs a lot of water to survive that; turf needs none.
With about 8 inches of rain a year, this is dry country. Watering is the largest cost of a natural lawn here, and often the first thing a utility restricts.
USDA hardiness zone 9b.
