Artificial turf in San Marcos, TX

San Marcos (Hays County) has about 71,569 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 San Marcos, in numbers

Summer afternoons in San Marcos average 95 F, so a lawn here spends months under strong sun. Real grass needs a lot of water to survive that; turf needs none.

Rainfall is about 37 inches a year. Drainage matters more than drought here; every line we sell has a perforated backing that lets water pass through.

USDA hardiness zone 9a.

Turf lines that fit San Marcos

All nine lines ship here at the same price as anywhere else, $2.60 to $3.50 per square foot. These are the ones we would start with for this climate.

The $10 comes off a later turf order. Turf is cut to your length and cannot be returned, so a sample is the safe first step.

Delivery to San Marcos

Turf ships by freight on a pallet within 3 days of your order. Delivery to a commercial address with a dock or forklift is free. Delivery to a home address is $200, which pays for the liftgate truck. Rolls are 15 ft wide and heavy; plan where the pallet will sit. Samples ship by parcel, included in the $10.
