When the Texas summer heat rolls in, your outdoor living space takes the brunt of it, from scorching sun to long dry spells. Your patio and artificial turf need proper care to stay functional, comfortable, and beautiful. At Emerson Pro Services, we specialize in outdoor space design, turf installation, patio covers, and pergolas, helping homeowners make the most of their yards all year round.
Here’s how to prep your patio and turf for the blazing Texas summer.
Patio Prep: Protecting Your Outdoor Living Space
1. Inspect and Clean Your Patio
Dirt, leaves, and debris can cause stains or wear down surfaces. Start with a good sweep and, if needed, a power wash to freshen up your patio.
2. Add Shade with Patio Covers or Pergolas
Direct sunlight can make patios unbearable. Installing patio covers or a pergola provides shade and extends the life of your outdoor furniture and finishes.
3. Seal Stone or Concrete Surfaces
A protective sealant can prevent cracks, fading, and water damage caused by intense summer heat and occasional storms.
4. Upgrade Outdoor Furniture
Consider UV-resistant cushions and materials designed to withstand Texas weather.
Turf Prep: Keeping Your Lawn Green in the Heat
1. Brush and Fluff Artificial Turf
Heat and foot traffic can flatten turf blades. Use a stiff brush to keep them upright and natural-looking.
2. Rinse to Reduce Heat
Artificial turf can absorb heat quickly. Spraying it with water before gatherings cools it down and makes it more comfortable for kids and pets.
3. Check for Weeds and Debris
Clean out the edges and seams to prevent weeds from creeping in and to maintain a polished look.
4. Schedule Turf Maintenance
Professional outdoor space design and turf maintenance services ensure your yard looks its best all summer long.
Bonus Tips for Summer Comfort
- Use outdoor rugs to protect surfaces and add comfort underfoot.
- Add fans or misting systems under pergolas for cooling.
- Plant drought-resistant greenery around your patio to enhance shade and reduce heat reflection.
