Artificial turf in Worcester, MA
Worcester (Worcester County) has about 207,621 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 Worcester, in numbers
Summer highs in Worcester average 78 F, a moderate summer where turf stays comfortable underfoot all day.
Rainfall is about 48 inches a year. Drainage matters more than drought here; every line we sell has a perforated backing that lets water pass through.
Winter lows average 20 F with about 73 inches of snow. Turf tolerates both; let snow melt on its own rather than scraping it with a metal shovel.
USDA hardiness zone 6a.
