Artificial turf in Albuquerque, NM

Albuquerque is home to about 560,274 people in Bernalillo 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 Albuquerque, in numbers

Summer highs in Albuquerque average 92 F. That is warm enough that a natural lawn needs regular watering from late spring through early fall.

With about 10 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 7b.
