Synthetic Lawns - What's So Great About Them? - Business

Maybe you've heard some of the buzz over synthetic lawns - but you just don't get what the appeal is. Or, maybe you've seen a few yards with artificial turf in them - but you just don't think it's worth the hassle of replacing your traditional yard with it.

If you've been wondering what's so great about synthetic lawns, here are 3 solid answers:

1. Artificial grass doesn't need to be watered

How much do your monthly water bills set you back? If you've got a traditional yard, a good portion of the water you use every month is used to keep it fresh and healthy. In fact, the average yard drinks up hundreds of gallons of H2O every time it's watered. By the end of the month, you've gone through at least 1,000 gallons!

Luckily, synthetic lawns don't need a drop of the wet stuff to look great. Rain or shine, your artificial turf is going to be as green and lush as the day you installed it!

2. Synthetic turf never needs to be cutSince it doesn't grow, your artificial grass is never going to get long and unruly - meaning that you're never going to have to dig out your lawnmower or weed eater to deal with it! What else could you be doing, instead of cutting the grass every Saturday morning? How much money could you save if you didn't have to buy and maintain a bunch of lawn equipment?

3. Artificial grass is a one-time expenseYes, synthetic lawns are pricier upfront than their sod and seed counterparts. However, once your synthetic turf is installed, you'll never have to spend another dime on it. Compare that to sod and seed - which require water, fertilizer, and routine maintenance to stay healthy. And, no matter how much work you put into them, sod and seed yards don't last forever. All you need is a bad drought or a freak snowfall, and you'll wind up with dead patches in your yard. Then, it's back to the nursery or home improvement store to buy more sod and seed!Luckily, synthetic lawns aren't affected at all by Mother Nature, so you can count on them to last for years and years. While everyone else is replacing their sod and seed, you can kick back, relax, and simply enjoy your artificial turf!

4. Artificial grass looks just like the real stuff

Drive by it, walk on it, or stare at it, and you'll be hard-pressed to tell artificial turf from the real stuff. Synthetic lawns look more real than ever, so you won't have to sacrifice looks if you want to take advantage of all the other benefits!
