Texas drought isn’t a possibility—it’s a certainty. When Stage 3 water restrictions hit, natural lawns suffer. Artificial turf doesn’t.
What Happens During Drought Restrictions
Stage 1: Watering limited to twice weekly Stage 2: Once weekly, specific days only Stage 3: No outdoor irrigation Stage 4: Emergency measures, fines
Natural grass cannot survive Stage 2+ restrictions. It goes brown, then dies. Replacement costs $1-3 per square foot.
Artificial Turf During Restrictions
- Looks exactly the same
- Zero compliance concerns
- No fines
- No replacement costs
Planning Ahead
Smart homeowners install artificial turf before drought conditions:
- Installation isn’t rushed or premium-priced
- Turf establishes before restrictions hit
- You skip the brown-lawn embarrassment
The 2023 Drought Impact
Many DFW homeowners installed artificial turf after 2023’s harsh drought. Water bills exceeded $500/month, and lawns still died.
Don’t wait for the next drought. Install artificial turf now.
