Natural grass needs 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Most Texas yards have significant shade from trees, houses, and fences. That’s where artificial turf excels.
Why Natural Grass Fails in Shade
- Insufficient photosynthesis
- Weak root development
- Moss and fungus problems
- Thin, patchy coverage
- Constant reseeding required
Why Artificial Turf Succeeds
Synthetic grass doesn’t need sunlight to stay green. It looks exactly the same in full shade as full sun.
Bonus Benefits in Shade
- Cooler surface temperatures
- No sun fading
- Reduced maintenance
- No bare dirt patches
Common Shady Applications
- Under mature oak trees
- North-facing yards
- Narrow side yards between houses
- Covered patios
- Areas shaded by fences
Stop fighting shade. Get artificial turf that thrives everywhere.
