Artificial turf in Bend, OR
Bend (Deschutes County) has about 104,557 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 Bend, in numbers
Summer highs in Bend average 80 F, a moderate summer where turf stays comfortable underfoot all day.
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.
Winter lows average 24 F with about 22 inches of snow. Turf tolerates both; let snow melt on its own rather than scraping it with a metal shovel.
USDA hardiness zone 6b.
