Green Acres Landscape Authentic vs Artificial Grass

Maintaining a beautiful, lush lawn can seem next to impossible between the extreme heat and damage done by pets. Your once green lawn may be starting to turn brown, and overwatering it may seem like the wrong solution. Well, we have a solution for you! Synthetic turf looks like natural grass but without upkeep. The sun won’t damage the turf, and your pets can relieve themselves without turning your lawn brown. 

What is synthetic turf? This eco-friendly lawn alternative is a grass-like ground cover that replicates natural grass in appearance and function. The upkeep on turf is minimal, and it provides a consistent year-round, all-weather surface built to withstand extended use without downtime for recovery.

Synthetic turf is a low-maintenance solution to presenting a beautiful yard year-round. Not only is it easy to maintain, but an artificial lawn can also save up to 40 gallons of water per square foot each year! With synthetic turf, you will have a lower water bill each month during the summer, and you do not need to worry about fitting watering your lawn into your schedule. 

Alongside the benefits to your water bill, switching to synthetic turf has many benefits for the environment. Conserving water is essential because it keeps water pure and clean while protecting the environment. Artificial grass could make a significant impact by reducing air pollution due to a decreased level of carbon emissions. Furthermore, synthetic turf usage reduces the need for pesticides, which can contaminate waterways and affect your pets. 

While synthetic turf is an excellent alternative for many reasons, it can be more costly and requires some maintenance and replacements every few years. Turf has a lot of benefits; however, it’s not suitable for everyone. Consider where your property is located, your budget, and some of the advantages and disadvantages when determining whether it’s a good fit for your home. Call us today for a consultation!
