Transforming Houston’s Sugar Land Town Square

Architects tap SYNLawn Houston for assist in renovating historic Sugar Land Town Square with artifical grass
July 08th, 2020

The Sugar Land Town Square plaza has been the heart of the community’s shopping and outdoor entertainment experience for decades, but it recently underwent a significant renovation. The square was initially built entirely from concrete and brick pavers for durability. However, the city recently realized it was time for a major renovation since the space was last updated in 2004. SYNLawn Houston was selected to bring in nearly 10,000 square feet of lush SYNTipede 343 artificial turf. The addition of durable green space opened up new opportunities for community involvement without creating extra weeding and watering work for the maintenance team.

Sugar Land’s Favorite Community Plaza

The design team at TBG Architects handled the renovation to breathe new life into Sugar Land Town Square. Since the TBG team worked with SYNLawn Houston in the past, they knew who to turn to for help with this project. The project involved many different upgrades to the space, including:

  • Free Wi-Fi for guests.
  • Picnic tables and new seating options to encourage visitors to linger.
  • A shade canopy to keep off the heat in the midst of summer.
  • An elevated deck area for a view of the plaza.
  • Realistic artificial turf from SYNLawn for lawn games, movie nights, and more.
  • LED lighting and outdoor speakers for an immersive experience.

The SYNLawn installers worked carefully to ensure the new artificial turf would drain properly when installed tightly to impervious surfaces like pavers. Airfield drain panels were used to achieve rapid drainage that worked with the existing storm drain system. Foam padding was also specified for a realistic and soft feel under the feet that can nonetheless handle heavy foot traffic levels. With a beautiful stretch of nearly 10,000 square feet of artificial grass added right in the center of the plaza, Sugar Land Town Square is the perfect setting for community gatherings and events.
