"Our backyards should be safe and inviting spaces all year round, including
during the summer months.
But the choices we make about garden design and maintenance, such as whether to
have artificial turf or real grass for a lawn, can have serious consequences.
Children, elderly people and pets are particularly susceptible to burns from
contact with artificial turf on a hot day.
Watering your lawn or planting a shady tree can also dramatically change how
hot your backyard feels in summer. Ultimately, these factors will influence how
much time you and your family spend outside.
No matter where in the world you live, it is never too late to find out how to
make your backyard safer and cooler next summer."
