Maintenance

Perhaps the primary selling point of artificial grass is its low maintenance. While fake grass will benefit from brushing and specialized cleaning solutions, it doesn’t require the tlc a natural lawn needs. Patching, knowledge of turf diseases, mowing and watering are lawn care issues you’ll need to acquaint yourself with. This is particularly true for clients with pets and children.  

Cost

Homeowners who employ a gardener to maintain their lawn, may find a synthetic lawn is the long term, economical option. However, short-term is a natural lawn is certainly cheaper. Depending on the grade and preparation needed, turf can be up to 10 x less than artificial options. 

Environmental

Experts argue opting for natural grass benefits the environment. Much like trees, turf absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen into the atmosphere. Many consumers believe a traditional garden enhances well being and promotes flora, fauna and wildlife.
