I have been considering artificial grass for quite some time now however I'm very concerned about the heat. I live in Texas and as you can imagine during the summer in the middle of the day in direct sunlight it is very hot and humid. My neighbors have some artificial turf and to be honest with you when I stood on it it was very warm. So I was looking for a solution to have artificial turf to take advantage of the benefits and features but not have it be so hot. I found a company online called Global Syn Turf and spoke with Dave who is a representative and he explained all about artificial turf in heat. The person you told me is Global Syn Turf makes it Turf called cool blue with a blue backing and a hollow blade. You may ask why the Hollow blade well let me tell you what it's all about. Dave explained to me that the blade is hollow which means moisture and rain and water can get inside the blade thus cooling the artificial turf system down. Real grass is cool even in the summer time because it's made up primarily of water. So the hollow blade cool blue emulate the real grass of fact I having water inside the hollow blade. Dave also explained to me there is a new info on the market today called T Cool. The T Cool Infill absorbs water and slowly releases the evaporation dust cooling the grass down. They have a video online that you can watch which shows a heat gun on artificial turf that has two people in it and on artificial turf that has no end. The specification sheet for the teak oil says that it will cool the grass down 30 to 50 degrees. The video I saw chose the artificial turf was 30 degrees cooler than the turf that had no tea cool in it. I don't know about you but both the hollow blade technology and the T Cool infill was exactly what I was looking for. Now I have had the artificial turf installed for 6 months and we're coming into summer here in Texas and it really does work. I want to thank Global Syn Turf and their team of Engineers for Designing such great products for consumers like me and very warm climates.
It is difficult to tell without seeing the process and results of the installation. Turf installers might use different installation materials that available locally and alternate the process from our recommendations while still achieving the goals such as proper drainage. Infills are recommended for the purpose of helping to hold down the turf and minimize contractions and expansions. Your installer is correct that most of our turf are thick and fluffy enough to stand up well, though. Sometimes people skip using infills because of budget or for small areas. In any case, uneven surface seems more like an installation issue. For any further questions, please feel free to call us at 877 796 8873 or email us at [email protected], thank you.

It will be very easy to replace the existing artificial grass with new, especially if your original turf installation was done correctly. The original sub base and the size of your turf will be the key factors for me to make a suggestion on if the replacement can be done by yourself. If your sub base is in great shape, and your area doesn't require seaming or you have confidence to handle the seaming part of the replacement, you then can try to do the replacement by yourself. The process will be as simply as following:
