Why Synthetic Turf Is the Perfect Choice for Your Yard
There has been a longstanding debate about whether real or synthetic grass is better for homeowners. In the past, artificial options were not of the highest quality, making real grass the easy choice. However, recent years have seen vast developments in the synthetic turf industry, with new offerings looking and feeling just like the real thing, but without all of the maintenance and upkeep.
Particularly in areas of the country that experience drought conditions like in California and throughout the southwest, utilizing synthetic grass can go a long way towards conserving water and protecting the environment. Here’s what you need to know about the benefits of synthetic turf for your home:
Realistic Appearance
Our synthetic grass is designed to look and feel just like real grass. From a distance it is virtually impossible to tell that our grass is not the real thing. Only upon close examination can you really see the difference. It is unlikely that your family, neighbors or guests will really be getting down on the ground to study your lawn. To the casual observer, which most people will be, your lawn will look every bit as real as any other lawn on your block.
Our synthetic grass is available in lengths ranging from 1 inch to 2-1/2 inches, depending on the specific product you choose. This lets you pick the grass length that is best suited to your needs and preferences. Whether you prefer a neatly manicured look or want something that looks a bit more lush, we have the artificial grass for you.
Long Life
Synthetic turf is built to last and can withstand the elements in virtually any type of climate. We have installed artificial grass in yards across Northern California. Past clients in all areas report that their synthetic lawns are thriving many years later.
All of our synthetic grass products come with a 15-year warranty for your protection. However, the actual life expectancy of our artificial turf is about 25 years. You can reasonably expect your grass to continue looking just as great as the day you had it installed for many years and even decades to come.
Minimal Maintenance Requirements
One of the most valuable benefits of synthetic grass is that it requires virtually no maintenance to keep it looking great throughout the years. Because it is not a living thing, you’ll never need to water or fertilize it. There will be no time-consuming and exhausting mowing involved either. If debris, like fallen leaves or twigs, accumulate on top of your turf, you can easily remove them by sweeping or using a leaf blower.
Over time, the blades of artificial grass may become flattened. This is easily remedied by sweeping them back in the opposite direction with a standard household broom. However, this type of maintenance is for aesthetic purposes only and is not necessary to preserve the life of your lawn.
Occasionally, weeds can sprout up through the turf, especially if you live in an area where it rains frequently. Treat them as you would weeds in other areas of your yard, spraying with standard weed killer or herbicide. The chemicals will not damage, stain or otherwise alter the appearance of your turf in any way.
Positive Environmental Impact
The clear and obvious benefit of synthetic grass is that it does not need to be watered. By going synthetic, you are preventing the wasting of tens of thousands of gallons of water each year. In addition, you won’t need to treat your lawn with fertilizers, pesticides and other chemicals, which can leach into the soil and even penetrate into the groundwater.
All of our products are made from recyclable materials so they will have as little impact on the environment as possible after they have been retired. In addition, we have eco-friendly options for the infill material that weighs down your artificial grass and holds it to the ground.
Affordable
With a natural lawn, you’ll have ongoing expenses for the entire life of your grass. This includes mowing, fertilizing, watering and more. The costs continue to skyrocket when you add in the price of installing and maintaining a sprinkler system, as well as purchasing new sod to replace sparse areas each year.
In contrast, synthetic turf requires a one-time investment to get it installed. Going forward, there will be no ongoing costs to care for your artificial lawn, other than occasional herbicide to get rid of weeds that spring up. Typically, homeowners see their synthetic turf reach a break-even point at around three to five years after installation.
