What happens to artificial turf in winter?

Winter is one of turf’s quiet advantages. Snow sits on it like it sits on any lawn, then melts and drains through the backing. Frosted fibers look silvery and stiff, then bounce back with the thaw, no damage done. Freeze-thaw cycles don’t harm properly installed turf or the compacted base under it, which is why our lines ship to Alaska and the Mountain West without a winter asterisk.

Two practical notes: if you shovel, use a plastic shovel; metal blades can catch fibers. And while your neighbors’ lawns go dormant and brown until a muddy spring, yours stays green through all of it, with no reseeding season on the other side.
