The Benefits of an Artificial Grass Lawn

The grass isn’t always greener on the other side, except when the grass is artificial. Maintaining a green lawn throughout the year requires a lot of work. If you’ve experienced your fair share of brown or dead lawns, than maybe it’s time you consider installing some artificial grass?

Below we’ll discuss the benefits of artificial grass reduces maintenance time, lowers your water bill and lessens your environmental impact.

1. Less Lawn Maintenance

Spending countless Saturdays maintaining your lawn, hiring landscapers for weekly maintenance, and dealing with the mess winter leaves behind is no longer a problem when you’ve got artificial grass.  As any homeowner knows, lawn care takes a lot of time, not to mention the toll it can take on your body. Artificial grass eliminates nearly all of usual lawn upkeep and frees up time that you wouldn’t have otherwise!

While the installation process is by far the biggest task for any potential artificial grass owner, it’s not complicated. However it can be labor-intensive, depending on whether you choose a professional installer or go the DIY route.

2. Save Money Over Time

Of course there are certain upfront costs with installing artificial grass, it can save you on many of the lawn care expenses that rack up year after year. If you’re trying to cut down on bills, adding artificial grass is a great way to reduce the amount of water you use. If you live in a drought-prone area we highly recommend making the switch.

3. Reduce Environmental Impact

As we said reducing your water waste is a great way to lower some bills. It also is extremely helpful for the environment. An artificial grass lawn not only helps reduce water use, it also cuts down on greenhouse gas emissions from maintenance equipment and minimizes the amount of chemicals in lawns. Artificial grass lawns typically last 15-20 years, as some companies offer a lifetime warranty, so the amount of water you can save is significant. As droughts bring about more water restrictions, synthetic grass is a great way to do your part in conserving.

Other than the benefits of artificial grass listed above, many homeowners choose to switch simply because of its look and feel! Artificial grass holds its beautiful green color all year rounds, feels great and even makes it easy to clean up after your pet! If you’re ready to make the switch, you’ll need to rent a dumpster to remove the dirt and grass your current lawn has. Call us at Waste Solutions 123 for an affordable roll off container!
