Getting an Artificial Turf Lawn 4 Extras You’ll Get with It
Fake lawn grass is popping up in more and more backyards, and it’s easy to see why. After all, installing an artificial turf lawn means getting to take advantage of these 4 “extras”:
1. Extra time
Because an artificial turf lawn doesn’t ever need to be mowed, weed whacked, or fertilized, you’ll be able to take all of the time you used to spend on your yard and devote it to other things. If you want, you can still spend plenty of time in your yard – just doing relaxing things, instead of slaving away! You can lie on top of the artificial grass and get a tan, play tee ball with the kids, or have everyone over for an afternoon barbecue.
2. Extra money
Have you ever thought about how much money you actually spend keeping your yard green and lush? You’re spending money on yard tools (or paying a professional to mow, trim, and fertilize for you). Plus, you’re spending tons of money on water, so that your grass doesn’t dry out. If you added it all up, you’d probably be amazed at what your real grass is costing you!
Luckily, when you have fake lawn grass, you don’t have to spend any of that money. You can ignore your artificial turf lawn for months on end, and it will still look as good as the day you bought it. In fact, the money you save on water over the cost of a year is probably enough to offset the cost of a yard full of synthetic turf grass!
3.Extra convenience
It never fails… after a long, harsh winter or after a hot, dry drought, natural grass is down for the count.
You may able to nurse some of it back to health, but you’re still going to have huge patches that need to be replaced. Before you know it, you’re in the car, headed down to the local nursery to buy more sod and seed.
However, an artificial turf lawn never needs to be patched up. That’s because artificial grass can sit out in any condition without dying, losing its color, or looking parched.
Plus, synthetic turf grass is designed to last for years and years. Once you have it installed, you won’t have to worry about it for at least a decade. How’s that for convenience?!
4. Extra safety
Synthetic turf grass is actually safer than the real stuff, for two reasons. First, fake lawn grass is completely flat – unlike natural grass, which has slight peaks and valleys to it. Second, an artificial turf lawn can come with infill – special sand or tiny piece of rubber that’s designed to cushion each step you take.
