Why Summer Preparation Matters in Henderson
Henderson summers are among the most demanding environments for artificial turf in the country. With air temperatures exceeding 110 degrees and surface temperatures reaching 150+, summer amplifies every existing turf problem. Bacteria multiply exponentially, odors intensify 3 to 5 times, and UV exposure accelerates fiber degradation. Preparing your turf before summer arrives prevents costly problems and keeps your outdoor space usable.
Pre-Summer Deep Clean
Schedule a professional deep cleaning in April or early May before temperatures spike. This removes accumulated winter debris, addresses any bacterial buildup from the cooler months, and ensures your infill is properly distributed. A pre-summer clean gives you a fresh baseline heading into the challenging months.
Drainage Inspection
Before summer monsoon season, verify your turf's drainage system is functioning properly. Check for any areas where water pools or drains slowly. Clear drainage channels and ensure perimeter drains are unobstructed. Proper drainage becomes critical during Henderson's brief but intense summer rainstorms.
Summer Maintenance Schedule
During Henderson's summer months, follow this maintenance schedule: rinse turf with water every evening to cool the surface, remove debris twice weekly, spot-treat pet areas daily, and schedule a mid-summer professional enzyme treatment if you have pets. Consider adding shade structures to reduce UV exposure and surface temperatures in heavily used areas.
