Many Arizona homeowners dread lawn maintenance due to the difficulty and costs associated with keeping your grass green through the enduringly hot weather. That’s why an increasing number of residents are making the switch to synthetic grass for drought-tolerant landscaping. Artificial grass has numerous benefits in desert climates, including saving time, money and water while remaining beautiful and evergreen year-round.

Synthetic Turf Is a Sustainable Solution

According to the EPA, the average American family uses more than 300 gallons of water per day — approximately 30 percent of which is used outdoors. This percentage can be even higher in drier parts of the country, such as Arizona. In fact, the West has some of the highest per capita residential water use because of landscape irrigation.

This high water usage — and the resulting costs — are driving many homeowners to make the switch to drought-tolerant landscaping such as synthetic grass. With artificial grass, your water usage will be reduced by an average of 33 percent, conserving an average of 100 gallons of water every single day.

This is thanks to synthetic turf’s low maintenance requirements. It doesn’t need to be watered to maintain its green hue, so you can turn off your sprinkler system for good. There’s also no need for mowing or edging your lawn, eliminating the need for gasoline-powered lawn tools. By eliminating this aspect of lawn maintenance, you can significantly reduce your home’s carbon emissions and become more environmentally friendly. If you want a sustainable landscaping solution that doesn’t sacrifice visual appeal, synthetic turf is the ideal option.

Artificial Turf Can Withstand Extreme Weather

Weather of all kinds can destroy your natural grass lawn. Receive too much rain, and your lawn will flood, requiring re-sodding. If you receive too little rain, your grass will die out, and you’ll have a sky-high water bill trying to keep it alive.

Artificial turf installation is becoming one of the most popular drought-tolerant landscaping choices in Arizona because it keeps your lawn looking perfect through any weather pattern. Thanks to the ultra-efficient drainage system installed with every artificial grass lawn, water drains through your grass at a rate of more than 30 inches per hour per square yard, allowing it to withstand even the toughest rainstorms without flooding. On the other hand, if you have no rain and sweltering temperature, synthetic grass will remain lush and evergreen with no watering needed.

Synthetic Grass Gives Your Home Curb Appeal

Artificial grass gets a bad rep due to the spiky and plastic-looking turf of the ‘80s. However, today’s artificial grass is incredibly realistic, thanks to manufacturing innovations over the last 20 years.

Today’s synthetic turf blends right in with your neighbor’s natural sod, but your lawn will stay even, lush and verdant all year long. Instead of spending your weekends desperately watering, weeding, and mowing your lawn in the stifling heat, you can kick back and enjoy your evergreen landscaping with premier synthetic grass installation.
