Drive around a nice neighborhood, and you’re bound to see homes that have synthetic lawns out back.

That’s because synthetic turf manufacturers have spent years coming up with a product that looks and feels just like natural grass.

But why exactly are synthetic lawns so popular?

1. They don’t require any maintenance

If you hate spending your free time doing yard work, then synthetic grass is perfect for you. Once it’s installed, synthetic lawn turf never needs to be cut, watered, or fertilized. You’ll never wind up with missing patches or weeds that take over the yard.

Think of how much time you’ll be able to save! You’ll actually get to spend more time enjoying your backyard, rather than just slaving away at it.

Plus, synthetic lawns can help you save a ton of money. How much nicer would your water bills look if you didn’t have to spend hundreds of gallons watering the grass? How many more meals could you eat out if you didn’t have to pay for all of those yard tools, or for the expensive lawn care service?

Even if you’re in charge of a bigger area – like a public park or a sports stadium – you can save a ton of money and manpower this way!

2. They can help you go green

Synthetic lawns don’t just look green and plush; they can also help you go green! Because synthetic grass never needs to be watered, you’ll be leading the way in conservation. Plus, since synthetic turf never needs to be fertilized, you won’t have to put yucky chemicals down in your yard to fend off weeds. You won’t even have to worry about releasing fumes into the air with your lawnmower or weed eater! Those are three things that Mother Nature will definitely appreciate.

3. They will last as long as you need them to

How long does a traditional yard last? A few months? A year at most? Before you know it, it’s time to buy more sod or sprinkle more seed.

Luckily, when you have synthetic lawn turf, you don’t have to worry about any of that. In fact, synthetic lawns are designed to last for at least a decade. It’s not uncommon for synthetic turf to last for 15 or 20 years in a backyard. No matter how many years you get out of your, it will always look as good as the day you laid it down! How’s that for durability and reliability?!
