When deciding between a natural lawn and artificial grass, it can be hard to know which option is best for you. Artificial Grass may have more of an upfront cost but maintaining a lawn can be cost just as much money in the long run. Here are the top four reasons why artificial grass is worth the investment.
It Saves You Time and Energy
Natural grass requires much more maintenance with sprinkler systems, seeding/fertilizer, edging, etc. Over time, the amount of money you’ve spent on maintaining a natural lawn could have bought you an artificial lawn, and it would have saved you a lot more time and effort. It’s effortless beauty for your lawn.
It Increases Your Homes Value
Artificial grass has been known to increase the value of your home, especially in Arizona, where your water bill will skyrocket just to keep up with your lawns thirst under the hot desert sun. The droughts are intense in Arizona and if you can save money on your water bill (a.k.a. lawn sprinkler systems) then that is a win.
It’s Better For the Environment
Since you’re not seeding and fertilizing your lawn or killing pesky weeds with weed killer, you’re also helping out the environment. The chemicals that your lawn absorbs, like RoundUp, create a lot of damage to the environment. Those chemicals can work their way into the water systems and poison animals and other plants that come in contact. By utilizing artificial turf, you can feel morally good about your effect on the environment.
Artificial Turf Creates a Dog-Friendly Environment
If you’re a pet owner, you have an opportunity to create a dog-friendly backyard. With artificial turf, you don’t have to worry about unappealing brown spots appearing on your lawn. Dogs can’t dig holes through artificial turf, and you don’t have to worry about them dragging mud through the house, either.
At the end of the day, artificial turf is definitely worth the investment. It looks great and saves a lot of time and energy in the long run. If you are considering installing artificial turf, give us a call, and we can help you create a custom plan for your dream backyard makeover.
