With the dangers of climate change becoming more prevalent every day, environmental sustainability is becoming increasingly important. People are looking for ways to reduce their environmental footprint and make their homes and businesses more eco-friendly. One of the best ways to do this is through synthetic grass installation. 

Artificial grass has numerous benefits for the environment and can improve your home’s curb appeal, making it an excellent investment for Arizona properties. Thanks to its low maintenance requirements, residents can eliminate several harmful practices that damage the local ecosystem, including daily watering and toxic chemical use. Here are just four of the many powerful ways that artificial grass benefits the environment. 

1. Synthetic Grass Conserves Water

According to the EPA, the average American household uses more than 100 gallons of water daily for outdoor use. That adds up to more than 9 billion gallons of water used per day nationwide.

With synthetic grass installation, you can eliminate the vast majority of this water usage and conserve thousands of gallons of water each year, making your household more eco-friendly and saving you significant money. This is because artificial turf’s synthetic polyethylene material doesn’t need to be watered to maintain its lush green color. The only water usage necessary for synthetic turf maintenance is a quick rinse in targeted areas to flush away pet waste or spills.

By eliminating frequent watering, synthetic grass helps reduce water waste and is a drought-tolerant landscaping solution that homeowners and business owners throughout desert climates like Arizona will love.

2. Artificial Turf Eliminates Chemical Use

If you have a natural grass lawn, you or your landscaper will need to apply fertilizers, weed killers, pesticide sprays and other chemical treatments to keep your garden beautiful and thriving. However, did you know that around 60 percent of lawn chemicals are wasted, contributing to chemical runoff?

Since synthetic grass does not grow organically, it doesn’t require the toxic chemical treatments that a natural grass lawn does. You can eliminate your household’s use of lawn chemicals — as well as gasoline-powered maintenance tools like lawnmowers — and prevent chemicals from harming the soil, draining into waterways, and damaging the local ecosystem.

3. Artificial Grass Lasts Longer

Another great benefit of synthetic grass installation is its durability. Modern artificial grass products are manufactured with state-of-the-art backing technology that makes your turf extremely resistant to pull force. This reduces the chance of loose or broken blades and ensures the longevity of your turf for years to come.

Since turf is evergreen, weather-resistant, and highly durable, you can keep your synthetic turf installation for decades to come. By investing in a long-term sustainable landscaping solution, you can reduce your environmental impact and save money in the long run versus constantly maintaining and re-sodding a natural grass backyard.

4. Synthetic Turf Looks Lush Year-Round

The final benefit of artificial grass is its realistic, evergreen appearance. Where other drought-tolerant landscaping solutions look barren and blend in with the desert landscape, synthetic grass offers a refreshing pop of greenery that makes your property look lush and alive without constant maintenance or environmental waste.
