Artificial turf in Henderson, NV
Henderson (Clark County) has about 337,305 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 Henderson, in numbers
Summer afternoons in Henderson average 102 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 4 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.

Water rules and rebates that apply in Henderson
SNWA Water Smart Landscapes rebate rebate
Southern Nevada Water Authority pays $5 per square foot of grass converted to desert landscaping for the first 10,000 square feet ($2.50 after that for homes, $1.50 for businesses and HOAs), with a $100 bonus per qualifying tree.
Artificial turf: Permeable artificial turf is accepted as a substitute for mulch, but plants must still cover at least 50 percent of the converted area at maturity; impermeable materials are not allowed.
