Artificial turf in Miami, FL
Miami (Miami-Dade County) has about 455,924 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 Miami, in numbers
Summer highs in Miami average 87 F. That is warm enough that a natural lawn needs regular watering from late spring through early fall.
Rainfall is heavy, about 57 inches a year. Turf with a fast-draining backing keeps the surface usable after a storm instead of muddy.
USDA hardiness zone 11a.
