The Health of Your Children and Pets Compared to natural grass, you can get many benefits by switching to artificial turf. For starters, artificial turf doesn’t need those nasty pesticides and fertilizers to stay in tip-top condition. This eliminates the need to keep your loved ones inside after the lawn has been treated or, worse, the chances of them getting sick while playing in the yard. Another way it can keep your pets and children healthy is that, unlike grass, it is pest-free! Natural grass is home to many pests, including ticks, ants, mites, and fleas, most of which can transmit diseases. Not only is natural grass a home for these nasty pests, but it also actually attracts them. You have to pull out those nasty pesticides to kill them off and tell Johnny he can’t go outside until tomorrow, again… Or install artificial turf and let your kids be kids.
Artificial turf is also a very durable yet safe surface for those kids who love to run around playing outside all afternoon long. It’s not prone to wear and tear like natural grass is. There’s no need to re-level the lawn after the dog digs up holes, causing tripping hazards for your precious children. 2. Environmentally Friendly The first factor is that, compared to a natural grass lawn, which can easily consume 10,000-70,000 gallons of water per year to stay healthy, a synthetic lawn only needs occasional hose-downs to wash off debris. That’s a huge impact when you consider water is a limited resource, and with little rainfall in West Texas, most, if not all, of that water must come from the city. Second is an overall decline in carbon emissions when switching to synthetic turf from natural lawns. According to the EPA, equipment to keep your lawn looking beautiful used around 68,000 tons of smog. That’s equivalent to 30 million cars! The most concerning chemical this equipment lets out is PM2.5, which is known to cause cancer, mental health problems, and early death. Wow, you can save lives just by switching to turf. 3. Low Maintenance I know how it feels. Between the long week at work, coming home to play with the baby, and helping your wife around the house, you just want to relax on Sunday. Yet the lawn is overgrown, and it’s really been a while since you fertilized. It’s off to Home Depot to grab some fertilizer. While mowing the lawn, you almost fall in a hole that the dog has dug out. Now it’s another trip to the store to get some excess fill dirt. Either that or you pay a technician who shows up when they want, runs over a sprinkler head, doesn’t tell you about it, and now your lawn is flooded. With synthetic grass, those problems are a thing of the past. With installs averaging 3-5 days for most yards and minimal maintenance needed only monthly, you don’t have to stress when taking that trip fishing, knowing the yard is going to look beautiful when you return.
4. Enhanced Curb Appeal A well-designed landscape can increase your home value by up to 10%. Not only that, but with over 50% of homeowners being millennials or Generation X, they are most likely to look into lawns that will be very low maintenance. This means synthetic grass will most definitely appeal to them
Artificial turf provides a lush, green appearance throughout the year, regardless of weather conditions. Unlike natural grass, it doesn’t turn brown or patchy during droughts or winter months, ensuring your lawn always looks vibrant and well-maintained.
Artificial turf offers a uniform texture and color, creating a polished and inviting atmosphere. This consistency can make your home stand out in the neighborhood, giving it a touch of luxury and sophistication.
Artificial turf can be creatively integrated with other landscaping elements like flower beds, pathways, and decorative stones. This versatility allows homeowners to design unique and aesthetically pleasing outdoor spaces that enhance the overall look of their property.
The low maintenance nature of artificial turf means it always looks its best with minimal effort. Homeowners don’t have to worry about mowing, watering, or fertilizing, which can often lead to uneven growth and a less attractive lawn
