You’ve probably seen artificial turf used in some contemporary landscape design projects recently. One particularly popular landscaping trend in 2022 is creating those elegant, oh-so-modern-looking pathways that combine synthetic grass and widely-spaced concrete pavers (or even concrete slabs in some more daring designs).

In the last few years, homeowners all over the country have been allowing landscaping artists to come up with new and interesting ways of using artificial turf in their landscape design projects; combining turf with rocks, live plants, and concrete.

The result? Stylish landscape designs that make the neighbors say “wow!”

Synthetic turf solutions have come a long way since the days when turf just meant “AstroTurf”—and more and more landscape design projects are going with artificial turf over grass and sod.

Here are just a few of the reasons why artificial turf is becoming the preferred choice for many landscape designers (and homeowners) all over the country:

Because artificial turf never turns brown or develops dead spots, it’s well-suited for areas where grass growth is a challenge.

Water is one of the most important elements in a healthy lawn. But sometimes, getting enough water to your lawn can be a challenge. This is especially true if you live in an area with drought conditions or water restrictions.

With artificial turf, you don’t have to worry about watering because it doesn’t need it! This makes it the perfect choice for areas where water is scarce.

Since artificial turf doesn’t grow, it can be used in more elaborate landscape designs—without requiring a lot of upkeep.

If you’re looking for a low-maintenance landscape design, artificial turf is a great choice all around.

Since turf doesn’t grow, you won’t have to mow or trim it—especially great for intricate, complex designs that can become obscure as soon as the grass gets longer.

This leaves you more time for enjoying your new landscape design—not working on it!

Artificial turf doesn’t allow weeds to disrupt your landscape design.

Weeds can quickly take over any lawn if they’re not kept in check. But the worst is when you have weed growth coming out of intricate designs—such as the gaps in between walkway pavers.

Fortunately, with artificial turf, you don’t have to worry about weeds. This makes it a great choice for areas where you especially want to discourage weed growth, such as along property lines or in garden beds—and especially for elegant and/or complex, intricate landscape designs that you want to keep looking their best.

Turf can be cut and precisely positioned next to other hardscape elements like concrete or stone, making it perfect for intricate landscape designs.

When you’re working on a landscape design, it’s important to be able to place elements precisely. This can be difficult with natural sod, but artificial turf can be cut with precision to fit any space. This makes it a great choice for areas where you need to get creative with your design.

Synthetic turf has better drainage than sod and grass.

Poor drainage is a common problem in many lawns. But with artificial turf, it’s possible to achieve better and faster drainage than sod and grass. An artificial turf lawn can still drain quickly even in the middle of heavy rainfall. This makes it a great choice for areas of your property that are prone to water pooling or flooding.

Turf is far better than regular grass and sod in drought prone areas.

If you live in an area that’s prone to drought, artificial turf is a great choice. Unlike natural grass, which needs water to survive, synthetic turf can go for long periods of time without water and still look green and healthy.

This makes it a great choice for homeowners who want to save water or for areas that have water restrictions.

Conclusion

Artificial turf is being used in beautiful, modern landscape design projects, as well as more traditional landscape design projects all over the country.

As a homeowner, when you choose artificial turf for your landscape design project, you’re choosing a low-maintenance, long-lasting solution that will save you time and money in the long run.
