11 Ways Artificial Lawn Benefits You As A Homeowner

Artificial lawn benefits homeowners in a variety of ways.

If you want to learn more, please visit our website.

In addition to eliminating the need to water your lawn, artificial grass also eliminates the need for time-consuming lawn maintenance. So, instead of spending your weekend mowing, fertilizing, and water your yard, you can get back to enjoying it with your friends and family.

Sound good?

Take a look at the overview we put together ' it illustrates how artificial grass might benefit you..

How Artificial Lawn Benefits You

1. Lawn Health

One of the most popular pain points artificial grass relieves is the constant attention natural lawn requires.

A natural lawn is susceptible to diseases, like Rhizoctonia, which will require time, money, and attention from you in effort to fight it off and maintain the health and appearance of your lawn. This particular disease is just one of many types of fungus your lawn may encounter depending on the climate of your area and how you maintain your lawn.

Lawn maintenance isn't as simple as it appears, as the mow height, how much you water, and how much you feed your lawn will determine whether or not your lawn attracts disease. If you find a brown patch in your lawn, it may already have this disease. In this case, you would need to fight the disease with your choice of fungicides.

Who wants to do that?

Artificial grass aren't susceptible to these diseases, which ensures your lawn will look great with minimal maintenance.

2. Weeds & Pests

There's a good chance you've seen a commercial or two promoting products developed to eliminate weeds and pests from destroying your natural lawn.

This is another popular pain point artificial lawn resolves, as artificial grass involves a weed-proof foundation and doesn't attract pests that natural grass attracts.

Why?

Natural grass provides weeds the soil needed to grow, artificial grass doesn't.

Natural grass attracts grubs and other insects that thrive in natural soil. Insects attract other insects and in some cases larger pests, like racoons, gophers, and snakes.

Synthetic turf doesn't involve this natural foundation needed for either weeds or pests to thrive, so it's one less problem you have on your hands.

Less problems equals less time spent on maintenance.

3. Mud and Puddles

Even if you live in an increasingly arid area, like Southern California, your lawn may develop mud and puddles after running your sprinkler system.

If you happen to have a dog, this can pose a problem of tracking in mud into the house.

Okay, maybe it's cute the first time ' but that fades the longer you spend cleaning the mud and dirt from your house.

When it does rain, natural lawn has a tendency to flood. When this happens, it affects the health of your lawn. If you're like most in drought-stricken areas, you need rain right now ' but too much water can actually kill your lawn. At this point it's a problem of abundance for most, but it's still something to consider.

Because artificial turf doesn't require water, you don't need to worry about the generation of mud.

If you go with superior artificial lawn products, you won't have to worry about flooding as most will have drainage built in.

4. Stop Buying Fertilizer

When you replace your lawn with artificial grass, you have an evergreen landscaping cover. This means it will remain lush and green with minimal maintenance.

This means you no longer have to spend money on expensive fertilizers year after year.

That money saved will add up, which you can allocate elsewhere.

5. No Need for Pesticides

Similar to fertilizer, there's no need for pesticides when you have fake grass.

It doesn't attract outside pests that have a negative impact on your lawn. This, too, will save you money year after year, as well as avoid negative health impacts of applying poisons to your lawn.

This is, after all, where your children, pests, and guests spend time.

6. Avoid Water Restriction Fines

With the ongoing drought reaching five-years old this year, there's no clear indication the water restrictions will subside.

In fact, Gov. Jerry Brown recently announced a plan to make the water restrictions permanent in California. If you were letting your lawn go brown until the drought lifts, you may want to reconsider.

Maintaining a natural lawn requires water, no matter how you look at it ' water is more expensive than ever, and may actually result in fines if you accidentally use too much at your household.

Artificial lawn can help avoid this risk altogether, as it doesn't need water to thrive.

7. Reduce Weekend Maintenance

Some people enjoy getting out in their backyard and maintaining their lawn. For the rest us, we'd rather use the lawn to host a barbeque or fourth of July party.

If you're tired of the time you spend maintaining your lawn, you may find that a fake lawn relieves you of the time and attention it needs to look presentable.

This is especially true for front lawns, where HOAs and neighbors be upset by the unhealthy appearance of your natural lawn. With governments backing water conservation efforts, homeowners can now install artificial lawn in places previously not allowed just a few years ago.

In addition, some states offer cash for grass programs that actually help pay for the replacement of natural lawn for drought tolerant landscaping solutions.

8. Better Life Expectancy

If you have a natural lawn, there's a good chance you'll need to replace it every few years or so. Because artificial lawn isn't a living landscaping solution, it doesn't die.

This means you can go years upon years without replacing it.

Higher quality artificial grass will last anywhere from 12 ' 15 years.

9. Eliminate Air Pollution from Gas-powered Lawn Mowers

Gas-powered gardening equipment, including mowers, edgers, and blowers, produce a disturbing amount of pollution. With millions of people mowing their lawns every weekend, it's worth mentioning here as we push our climate to change.

Spending an hour behind a roaring lawn mower can spew nearly the same amount of oily pollution into the air as a 100-mile car trip, according to a Swedish study.

10. Reduce Ground Pollution

Fertilizers and pesticides may be used to maintain the health of natural lawn, but they also pollute the environment and pose dangerous threats to your family and pets. Fake grass doesn't require these chemicals in order to thrive, which elimates the consequences of polluting the environment and poisoning those who come in contact shortly after natural grass treatment.

11. Conserve Water

Artificial turf doesn't require water, other than an occasional rinse if you have pets.

This allows you to reduce your water usage, avoid excessive water use fines, and save money month after month.

They are highly skilled professionals, reliable, trustworthy and were willing to flex the plan as needed. You hear so many horror stories where jobs are left half finished for weeks at a time. Jason promised our team would stay with us until the work was finished and Pete / Stuart did just that. Very fair on finances and communicated throughout the project on extras incurred. If you're planning a large landscaping project then you should get a quote from R & J Landscapes.

Jason, the owner, was happy to quote for a repair as the original 80mm thick concrete blocks on our driveway have many more years life in them yet! and more in tune with sustainability. Jason's quote was very detailed and explained all the materials that would be used in the construction. Before the works commenced Jason was happy to visit the site to discuss in detail what his team would do. Within the space of two and a bit days Jason's team of three landscapers worked to lift four square meters of block paved driveway and 12 very heavy flagstones that had sunk and needed re-levelling. The team meticulously cleaned the blocks so that when they were re-laid they sat tightly together. The team also installed a new concrete retaining edge to one side of the driveway and a new manhole cover. Once the blocks and flagstones were lifted both the base of the driveway and front path was very well compacted before the blocks and flagstones were re-laid. Each stage of the process was clearly explained by the lead landscaper who was also happy to answer questions and discuss how the work was progressing. The team worked quietly and efficiently throughout the entire process. Overall we are delighted with the completed work. Once again our driveway and front path are just as level as when they were first installed nearly 40 years ago! An amazing and professional result from a team of three highly skilled individuals. We are more than happy to recommend R & J Landscapes.
