5 Reasons to Install Artificial Grass in Your Backyard

Artificial grass?

When did people start putting fake grass in their yards? People have been using fake synthetic grass in their yard for years now.

While it might not be common, people are starting to see the benefit of fake grass. The benefits are especially clear in areas where it might be difficult to grow grass.

Continue reading this article and learn more about the benefits of fake grass so you can see if it’s right for you.

1. Durable

If you have kids and pets that like to play rough out in the yard, you’re going to love artificial grass. This durable grass can stand up to even the roughest playmates.

You’ll be glad to know that it has a long life expectancy even if kids are pets are present.

2. Appearance

If you’re worried that people are going to hate the way your yard makes the neighborhood look, you must be thinking about turf of years gone by. Artificial turf looks amazing now and you’ll be the envy of your neighbors.

You’ll likely see a few of them changing over to artificial turf themselves.

3. Save Water

If you live in an area where there are issues with lack of water then artificial grass is a no-brainer for you. If you use too much water when you’re under a water watch, you could get fined.

Taking showers and even running the pool shouldn’t get you into trouble but if you’re watering the lawn frequently, that can get up to a lot of water.

Those that live in the West are likely some of the best candidates since that is where many residents go through water bans.

4. Mud Puddles Be Gone

Even if you live in an area that doesn’t get a lot of rain, your yard can get puddles and mud when you run your sprinklers. If your kids or fido decide they want to play, you’re likely to find some of the mud from your yard has made its way into your otherwise clean house.

There is really no way you can keep your yard from having puddles without redoing your landscape and this can be pretty expensive.

5. Set It And Forget It (Almost)

Once you’ve got your synthetic turf installation finished, you’re pretty free and clear when it comes to maintenance. No more riding the mower around your yard, or even worse — pushing the mower!

Blow off the debris that might make its way to your yard and keep an eye out for anything your pets might leave behind and you’re pretty much good to go.
