What’s the Best Time to Install Commercial Synthetic Grass Outdoors?

May 6, 2023

With the business landscape in Metro Vancouver ever-changing, commercial business owners are constantly looking for ways to keep current and set their businesses apart from the competition. While more and more consumers in Delta are looking for greenspaces to enjoy within the city, business owners are looking for ways to provide these spaces practically and sustainably. Many have discovered the benefits of commercial synthetic grass in Delta for a multitude of uses throughout the exteriors of their commercial spaces, but not everyone is sure which time of year in Delta is best to install turf. Here’s what you need to know!

Location consideration

Choosing the right time of year to install commercial synthetic grass in Delta depends a great deal on where the artificial turf is going. Because of the endless possibility for exterior applications, it’s important to consult an experienced professional like the installers here at Turf Suppliers. For example, if you will be installing turf over top of a concrete patio, then your timeline could potentially be more flexible without the possibility of mud from rainy weather. While winters here on the West Coast are typically milder, we do experience freezing weather.

So, if you’re looking to install during the middle of winter, talk to your installer first about whether the freeze-and-thaw cycle of your concrete will have any effect on your turf installation. Installations over dirt are much more susceptible to disruption from rainy weather and would need a dry spell, or better yet a drier season. If your location happens to be undercover, then you may have more flexibility. Large-scale installations such as sports fields, for example, would benefit from having a long stretch of dry weather that allows the installers a firm, stable, base for the commercial synthetic grass.

Successful scheduling

One consideration that can benefit the business owner is whether you’re looking to install during the contractor’s “busy season”. Most contractors and installers are hopping busy during Spring and Summer. Warmer weather inspires renovations and to-do lists a-plenty. If you can time your commercial synthetic grass installation for a slower season such as Fall, you may have a great deal more flexibility in the availability of your contractor and therefore more flexibility to accommodate your busy life with the schedule of your installation. It’s also important to ask yourself when your own busy season is. If you’re looking to install commercial synthetic grass in Delta at your popular restaurant location (outdoor patio anyone?) or perhaps you own a gym and need new turf for your outdoor sports area, it’s a good idea to think about when you have the most clients passing through. Which time of year would an installation prove most disruptive? Connecting with your installer to talk about time frames can help you figure out just how many days you need to plan for, and which time of year to plan them in.

Deciding to install an area of turf is an exciting step for a business owner. Don’t be daunted by deciding on the time of year to install. Reach out to our experts here at Turf Suppliers to find out which season would be most successful for installing your commercial synthetic grass in Delta.
