WHY YOU SHOULD CONSIDER SWITCHING TO
ARTIFICIAL GRASS
Artificial turf is a surface of synthetic fibers made to look like natural grass. It is most often used
in arenas for sports that were originally or are normally played on grass. However, it is now being
used on residential lawns and commercial applications as well. The main reason is maintenance
– artificial turf stands up to heavy use, such as in sports, and requires no irrigation or trimming.
Domed, covered, and partially covered stadiums may require artificial turf because of the
difficulty of getting grass enough sunlight to stay healthy.
If you struggle to find time to maintain your lawn, you are not alone. Many homeowners love
having a large yard, but they do not like the constant upkeep that traditional lawns require.
Mowing, trimming, fertilizing and watering can leave you feeling like a full-time landscaper.
These are a few of the reasons why many homeowners are turning to artificial grass to give them
the lawns of their dreams. Fake grass is gaining popularity, especially in areas that have had
prolonged droughts or where rainfall is traditionally low.
The artificial grass is very Resilient and with the proper care and attention it can last as long as
you want it to.
Areas that Homeowners apply artificial Grass
- Residential Lawns
- Dog runs
- Pool surrounds
- Rooftops
- Play areas
- Putting greens
- Decorative borders between patio pavers.
We all love our planet and want to keep it in the best condition possible. However, sometimes
it’s hard to know how you can adapt your lifestyle in a realistic and sustainable way that will still
positively impact the environment. One easy way to make a change for the better is to install
artificial grass in your home or business. Artificial turf has numerous environmental benefits,
such as conserving water, decreasing carbon emissions, and eliminating the need for harmful
chemicals – and all while making life more comfortable and more affordable for you.
Water Conservation
With artificial turf grass, there is no need for regular watering, and your irrigation bill is
eliminated. Artificial turf is made of a waterproof polyethylene material, so the only water
needed to maintain your yard is the occasional hose down to clear away pet waste. This is a
negligible amount compared with the daily watering required by a natural grass yard. In fact,
synthetic grass installations conserve 4 to 8 billion gallons of water annually worldwide thanks to
its low maintenance nature. By switching to artificial turf, you’re not only saving a significant
amount of money on your water bill, but you’re also protecting the environment by conserving
hundreds of gallons of water every year.
Decreased Carbon Emissions
Since turf grass is made from a synthetic, man-made material, it does not grow and does not
require any mowing or other maintenance. It remains at a short, uniform pile height, eliminating
the need for gasoline-powered maintenance equipment such as trimmers and mowers, which all
emit noxious gasses as they’re used. A push mower emits as much pollution in one hour as 11
cars, and a riding mower emits as much pollution as 34 cars. Each weekend, 56 million
Americans mow their lawn, producing over 800 million gallons of gas per year. This results in an
astounding amount of air pollutants that damage the environment and harm our air quality.
With no need to mow your lawn, you’ll no longer need to buy gasoline to power your
maintenance equipment. This not only saves you money, but it saves the environment by
reducing your carbon footprint and decreasing the global CO2 emission levels one household at
a time.
No Harmful Chemicals
If you have a natural grass lawn, then you know that you need to invest in fertilizers, pesticides,
and other chemicals to keep your lawn well maintained. However, did you also know that around
60 percent of lawn chemicals are wasted, contributing to chemical runoff? Not only are lawn
chemicals harmful to your kids and pets, but they also lead to water pollution and chemical
runoff which are harmful to humans and wildlife. Consuming contaminated water can be highly
toxic, killing surrounding wildlife and increased disease rates and birth defects in humans.
With synthetic turf installed in your home, the need for harmful maintenance chemicals such as
pesticides and fertilizers are entirely eliminated. Synthetic grass is completely non-toxic and
requires no maintenance chemicals, so artificial turf installations prevent the use of more than 1
billion gallons of pesticides and fertilizers annually. Make the switch to artificial turf today and
protect not just your kids and pets, but the environment and its wildlife as a whole.
Other general benefits and why you should consider artificial grasses include:
Saving Money with Artificial Grass
Professionally laid artificial grass is inexpensive, only costing as low as N3500 depending on the
size of the space. Maintaining your lawn on the other hand is quite expensive. Ensuring the
health of your lawn requires constant fertilizing and watering. It also requires other
expenditures, like buying and maintaining a lawnmower. If you’ve ever lamented the sudden
appearance of weeds, you know that eliminating unsightly weeds is yet another expense.
With natural grass, your work is never done. But with artificial grass, once it’s installed, your
artificial turf lawn is practically free for the next decade.
Saving Time with Artificial Grass
The author of the book “American Green: The Obsessive Quest for the Perfect Lawn” estimates
that it takes the average homeowner at least 150 hours a year to keep a natural lawn looking in
top shape. If you want that time back, consider a turf lawn from Green Safety Limited.
