Artificial grass in Paarl, supplied and laid
Paarl runs hotter than the coast, and heat is the thing to design around. Surface temperature climbs on any dark surface in full Boland sun. Lighter yarn, a sand infill rather than a rubber one, and shade over the seating end all bring it down. Large Paarl plots also suit a partial lawn, turfing the used third and leaving the rest planted.

Ask for astro turf in Paarl and we quote the 25mm, because astro turf almost always means the short sports-style pile rather than a long garden one.
Questions from Paarl
How hot does artificial grass get in Paarl summers?
Artificial grass runs hotter than real grass in direct sun, most noticeably from midday to late afternoon. Lighter yarn and silica infill rather than rubber keep it down, and a rinse cools it immediately.
Should a large plot be turfed completely?
Rarely. Turfing the used part of a garden and planting the rest costs less and looks better. Most large Paarl plots use turf on a defined area near the house.
