- Tired of watering, weeding, fertilizing, and cutting real grass?
- Water bills too high in Summer?
- Synthetic grass may be right for you!
Synthetic grass for landscaping and recreation is growing 10%-15% a year in the U.S. More homeowners are saving time, water and their backs by switching from real grass to artificial turf.
Homeowners have used synthetic grass for:
• Lawns
• Dog runs
• Play areas
• Pool surrounds
• Rooftops
• Putting greens
• Decorative borders between patio pavers
How much does it cost?
Artificial lawn comes with a big upfront cost $15-$18 per square foot, installed but will save you time and money in the long run.
How does it compare with laid sod?
It would take about 3-4 years for maintenance-free artificial grass to recoup its initial cost. On the other hand professionally laid sod costs approximately $1.50-$2.00 per square foot minus the costly expenditures and maintenance overtime. If you’re planning on staying at your property longer than that, then synthetic grass would be a wise investment.
