Artificial turf in Mesa, AZ

Mesa is home to about 511,648 people in Maricopa County. 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 Mesa, in numbers

Summer afternoons in Mesa average 105 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 11 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.

The $10 comes off a later turf order. Turf is cut to your length and cannot be returned, so a sample is the safe first step.

Water rules and rebates that apply in Mesa

  • Mesa residential grass-to-xeriscape incentive rebate

    Mesa pays single-family water customers $1,000 to $2,100 depending on the area of grass removed (500 square feet minimum) and trees added, with low-water plants covering 50 percent at maturity.
