Don’t paint your dead grass green. Transition to artificial turf. The benefits are life-altering. Artificial turf has a long partnership with sporting venues; however, a change is afoot. More and more homeowners are finding artificial turf advantageous aesthetically as well as economically.
Artificial Turf For Lawns
Artificial turf has the appearance of natural grass. Manufacturers have improved on the quality of artificial grass in such remarkable ways that it is hard to distinguish from natural grass. Homeowners can choose from a variety of colors, heights, and styles. Knowing this, the options around a home are endless. Think about how artificial grass can make life easier.
Cost vs Savings
Obviously, it costs to install artificial turf, but the economic benefits year-round are staggering. The maintenance for natural lawns depletes the savings account whether a lawn care company manages it weekly or homeowners handcraft the lawn themselves. An artificial turf lawn is proven to withstand consistent use and harsh weather. The sports arenas are evidence of that.
Save on water. Save on gas. Save on pest control. Save on pesticides. Not only are savings obvious, artificial turf lasts several years with minimal maintenance. The only occasion to water it would be to clean some random debris off the surface. And that is if a quick swipe of the broom doesn’t take care of it. The high cost of irrigation or running the sprinkler for hours becomes extinct with artificial turf.
Alleviate throwing money into the gas pump. With artificial turf, mowing is exiled to another land. The savings here are undeniable. Cancel the weekly lawn care service, or sell the gas-guzzling lawnmower. Do away with the trimmer. Artificial turf maintains its healthy glow all year.
Spending money on insecticides and pesticides can also be banished into another world–along with fleas, ticks, and other ants. Artificial turf takes care of itself. Weeds don’t grow through it. Insects don’t like it. In fact, the toxicity of the chemicals used on natural grass can cause health issues for the homeowners.
Additional Benefits
Some artificial turf is antibacterial, even providing a barrier against germs. Think about the safety for children and pets. Not only cleaner and tidier than natural grass, artificial turf assists during allergy season. While natural grass emits pollen and inflames other allergies, artificial turf protects against them.
Artificial turf provides an extra layer of safety for children and the elderly. The soft cushiony layers insulate the harshness of a stumble or fall. Whether under a swingset or around the patio, artificial turf offers a softer, smoother, obstacle-free surface for the family.
