Allergies and Artificial Turf: Loving the Absence of Pollen and Molds

Spring is in the air

Spring has finally arrived and we will soon be enjoying the beautiful weather that is Southern California. Most people look forward to this season but there are those who look forward to the Spring and Summer seasons with mixed feelings. Including Southern California there are 60 million people across the country who view these seasons as challenging times because of those annoying, pesky allergies. As the season of summer approaches Claire Gagné suggests that for those with grass allergies, a lush lawn can be the bane of summer since a “Grass allergy is one of the most common pollen allergies.”

Unlike Lawn Kings synthetic grass lawns, a real grass lawn emits pollen that gets released into the air and creates irritating and uncomfortable symptoms that are difficult to alleviate. Grass Mold is also a problem for some folks. Dr. Harold Kim, an assistant professor in the department of clinical immunology and allergy at McMaster University in Ontario that, “often patients will have allergy symptoms with fresh cut grass in August or September. That’s not grass pollen allergy, that may be mold allergy from the molds being stirred up.”

Spring and Summer are wonderful times to enjoy lovely and beautiful weather with friends and family outdoors. Installing artificial turf before and during the allergy season will be extremely beneficial for those who have to deal with allergen discomfort because synthetic grass eliminates a major source of allergies near your home. The synthetic grass and materials are safe, non-toxic, and fully tested.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does artificial grass help with allergies?

Artificial grass helps with grass pollen allergies because a synthetic lawn does not flower and does not release pollen. It also gives mold fewer places to establish, since there is no thatch of decaying clippings holding moisture. Airborne pollen from surrounding trees and plants still lands on the surface, so rinsing it off periodically is what keeps the benefit real rather than theoretical.

Does artificial grass grow mold?

Artificial grass does not grow mold itself, but organic debris left sitting on a damp surface can. Leaves and clippings that are allowed to break down in place are the usual cause, particularly in shaded coastal yards. Clearing debris and letting the surface drain properly prevents it. Where mold does appear it cleans off the fibers rather than being rooted in them.

Is artificial grass better for hay fever than a real lawn?

For someone reacting specifically to grass pollen, a synthetic lawn removes the source from their own yard, which is a meaningful improvement during spring. It will not stop reactions to pollen drifting in from elsewhere. Households where mowing itself was the trigger often notice the biggest difference, since mowing throws pollen and mold spores into the air at close range.
