Making the move to artificial turf can be intimidating whether it be the fear of the cost or the hesitation about having to say goodbye to your beloved grass. Although making changes is not always easy, the good news is, switching over to artificial grass can be one of the best decisions you make for yourself, your environment, and your lawn itself!

Some of the many benefits of artificial turf include, but are not excluded to, the following:

No Need for Water

Especially in Orange County, CA where the watering schedules are strict and water conservation is critical, it doesn’t make much sense to have an authentic lawn. According to Spartanburg Water, live grass requires about 1.5 inches of water a week. As for artificial turf, the amount of water needed per week is zero, zilch, nada!

A zero-water lawn not only positively impacts the environment but saves you the stress of having to program your sprinkles to water your lawn according to your current watering ordinance.

Lower Level of Maintenance

With anything living in your lawn, there’s going to be some form of maintenance, even if it’s drought-tolerant. When it comes to live grass, maintenance involves not only watering but cutting, edging, weeding, and fertilizing. Rather than tending to the maintenance yourself or paying someone to do it for you, artificial turf can dramatically reduce your lawn’s need for maintenance in general.

More Cost Effective

While having artificial turf installed is not free, it’s far more cost-effective than your traditional turf in the long-run. This is true even when comparing the lifespan of both live and artificial turf.

With no need for watering your artificial grass, you can benefit from more affordable water bills. Likewise, with lower maintenance, you can rest assured that you won’t have to purchase fuel for your lawn mower, buy fertilizer to keep your grass in top-notch condition, or pay a professional to come out multiple times a week to care for your lawn.

No Worries About Natural Grass Allergens

According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology, grass allergies are quite common. Symptoms may be minor in the form of sneezing and watery eyes or may be more serious in the form of an asthma attack.

Although avoiding your contact with grass and taking medicines recommended by your allergist can aid with a grass allergy, a more reliable solution is switching out your live grass for artificial turf. This way, you can still enjoy your love for grass without experiencing discomforting symptoms in the process.

Gorgeous Lawn All-Year-’round

One of the biggest benefits of artificial turf is its aesthetics. When having artificial grass installed, you not only get to pick your prospective grass’ color, texture, and length, you get to keep that throughout the year. Yes, that means even in the winter! Best of all? Nobody will know your artificial turf is man-made, making your lawn look professional no matter what the weather entails.
