When most people think of synthetic lawn turf, they usually imagine an athletic field or putting green used for practice. Few people immediately think of their neighbor’s yard. But if the trend continues, soon that’s exactly what you’ll think of when someone brings up artificial grass. Continue reading to find out why.

One of the main reasons people are switching to fake lawns has to do with the price. For the most part, after you’ve paid for the turf and its installation, you’re done spending money on your lawn. There will still be some maintenance costs to come, but for the most part, your investment is over.

Now compared artificial grass prices to what a real lawn costs. Paying for the grass and having it installed is nothing compared to what you’ll be spending every year for as long as you own it.

Real grass constantly needs water, unless it’s covered by snow. If you live in a warmer part of the country, your water bill can become astronomical. This is bad for the environment and your budget.

But your lawn also needs to be mowed constantly, weeded and aerated. There goes a huge chunk of your free time. You’ll also want to buy a cocktail of chemicals to keep it growing strong and free of vermin and other threats to its health.

When you put the costs next together, there’s no competition. Artificial grass makes the most sense.
