ESTC is proud to share an article prepared by WPR on its behalf, recently published in The Landscaper Magazine. The feature explores how synthetic turf can contribute to climate-resilient landscape design amid growing challenges from extreme weather events driven by climate change.
The article outlines how, when properly installed with an engineered sub-base and drainage systems such as French drains, synthetic turf can help mitigate flood risks through its permeability and effective water management.
It also explains that high-quality, UV-resistant turf systems perform better than natural grass under extreme heat, making them a durable and sustainable solution in drought-prone regions. When combined with natural shading and reflective materials, synthetic turf helps lower surface temperatures and supports cooler, more resilient urban environments.
This integrated approach enables landscapers to create outdoor spaces that balance sustainability, functionality, and aesthetic value, addressing both flooding and drought challenges while enhancing long-term performance.
ESTC remains committed to advancing education, innovation, and best practices across the entire value chain of the synthetic turf industry, helping professionals design and deliver solutions that meet the environmental demands of the future.
