The drought this summer in Texas and surrounding States has been record breaking. With this relentless heat, synthetic grass is one of the fastest growing solutions for natural lawns that have died. Artificial turf is not limited to just these drought areas, but is a popular low-maintenance solution for landscapes nationwide. Other solutions for your yard are to replace it with sod, but this sod can die easily from the heat this year and even next year, or you can replace your grass with decorative rock, but this solution gets very hot and is unattractive and uncomfortable when walking on it.
Synthetic lawns will help you keep a beautiful, green lawn and help prevent the heat from killing your yard. Whether you have pets or kids, a synthetic turf solution is perfect, and everyone will be happy to play on it instead of rocks or pea gravel.
The most important part of an artificial turf lawn is it pays for itself. Typically, synthetic grass will have a lifespan of 15+ years. This means that a 500 square foot yard can cost as low as $17.00 per month. If you compare that to what you spend nowadays on your natural sod lawn, then this solution clearly make sense. I strongly advise anyone that is considering a lawn project to look into the return on investment and choose a synthetic turf lawn instead of throwing your money away with sod and water.
