The Movie Colony's legendary estates have been melting artificial turf for decades — but most homeowners don't know the windows are the cause. We fix it permanently.
The Movie Colony is Palm Springs' most storied neighborhood, where Hollywood royalty built desert retreats in the 1930s through 1960s. Today's owners have updated these estates with modern Low-E glass — and that's when the turf damage started. The combination of desert heat, large glass panels, and premium artificial turf creates a perfect storm.
The Movie Colony's estates are characterized by large, open floor plans with extensive glass — a design philosophy that made sense in the desert climate and has been maintained through renovations. When homeowners upgrade to energy-efficient Low-E glass, they often see turf damage begin within the first summer.\n\nThe neighborhood's east-west oriented streets — Movie Colony Drive, Alejo Road, and the surrounding area — mean that homes have both morning and afternoon sun exposure. The afternoon western exposure is most damaging, but east-facing windows can also cause morning reflection damage. We assess all exposures and treat the windows causing damage.
Movie Colony estates are often vacation properties — owners may not notice the damage until they visit. By then, the turf may need full replacement. Film prevents the problem entirely.
We serve Movie Colony and all of Palm Springs. Most jobs are scheduled within 1–2 weeks and completed in a single day.

"Our turf was melting in a perfect stripe every afternoon. We replaced it twice before figuring out it was the windows. One day of film installation and the problem was completely gone. Wish we'd found these guys sooner."
Seasonal homeowners often discover turf damage when they return after summer. The damage accumulates quickly in desert heat. Film installed before summer prevents the problem entirely.
