When you make the decision to abandon your “old fashioned” lawn in favor of synthetic grass, your yard will not only become more useful, you’ll want to use it more. How does artificial turf provide so many benefits?
Sustainability and eco-friendliness.
You could replace your lawn with rocks and gravel or concrete, but hard surfaces absorb and reflect heat, making your home’s outdoor environment feel hotter and heating up the broader environment as well. Synthetic grass doesn’t do that, so you can retain the cooling properties of natural grass – with no wasted water and no chemicals to apply.
When you add a bird bath and hummingbird feeders, your feathery friends will enjoy your yard more this summer, too – and you’ll be able to enjoy them up close. Plant flowers that attract hummers and butterflies, too, in pots or beds next to your synthetic grass.
Money saved.
Since you won’t have to buy gas and oil for your mower, fertilizer, pesticides and all that costly water, you’ll have money to put toward something else. You could take a vacation, invest in your children’s college fund, get some stylish new patio furniture or a grill or build an entire outdoor kitchen, surrounded by your always-perfect synthetic grass lawn.
Expanded fun for the whole family.
It’s a given these days that kids spend way too much time indoors playing with electronic devices. Thanks to synthetic grass, you can conjure up captivating ways for your children and their friends to play outside. Maybe they’ll even let the adults join in.
With artificial turf, you have no worries about risks to your family from lawn care chemicals or allergies. Artificial grass itself is completely non-toxic, too. Think of all the things you could be doing this summer:
Reclaimed personal time.
Instead of doing unsatisfying yard work, you can play or simply relax. Redesign your back yard, by creating separate seating and play areas, perhaps a cozy reading nook. Plant a veggie garden and eat the proceeds. Install a putting green, and watch your score drop. Flop out on your soft, natural feeling synthetic grass and spend some time watching the clouds. What shapes do you see in them?
Host a party – or lots of parties. After all, you’ll want to show off your smart new lawn.
