As the temperatures get colder you start making preparations for the really chilly months that are just around the corner. That means you have a decision to make on your lawn. If you have a sod lawn the most popular method of keeping it green through a Southwest winter with perennial ryegrass. The problem is you have to do this year after year and its not a simple process. The price varies to maintain an artificial grass lawn but it can cost up to $1/sq ft per year in overseeding trying to maintain a natural green lawn in the desert.
Couple that with the cost of water, fertilizing, maintenance, etc. and you are looking at another ~1.25/st ft per year in costs. So that means your yard costs you anywhere from $2-$2.5 per sq ft per year just to maintain! Is it worth it? We don’t think so.
