1. August 16, 2017 Convincing Reasons Why You Should Switch from Natural to Artificial Grass for Your Lawn For many homeowners, keeping the aesthetics of their property is crucial. This is why they willingly spend a lot of time, money, and effort just to keep their lawns and gardens looking good. In the long run, however, it’s not going to be as cost-efficient, especially when natural grass is vulnerable to weather and seasonal changes. Page | 1

2. If you want a more long-lasting green all year ‘round, and to have minimal upkeep for your lawn, consider switching to artificial grass instead. Here are some convincing reasons why you should make the switch. Year-Long Greenery The most prominent issue that comes along with maintaining natural grass is that they still end up succumbing to the forces of nature. Extreme heat in the summer can end up making the lawns dried up, while the rainy season can inundate the area with flood. Come winter, the grass becomes covered in snow and frost, affecting the blade and soil quality. Overall, therefore, maintaining natural grass is an all year ‘round affair of recovering from these seasonal impacts. Understandably, this is going to be very frustrating for the homeowner who incessantly has to deal with this problem. With artificial grass, however, you won’t have to deal with any of this precisely because it’s synthetic. No matter the weather or season, as long as it is properly installed, you can rest assured that you’ll have a lush and beautiful green plot of lawn no matter the time of the year. In fact, more and more households are making the switch especially in light of the drought that had recently gripped some states in the country. At least even in the direst of circumstances, their lawns still remain looking fresh. Low-Cost Maintenance Natural grass requires sufficient amounts of water, sunlight, and fertilizers. That’s on top of the need for regular mowing, trimming, and pruning to keep it aesthetically pleasing. While this enumeration may look simple, however, it does take a good deal of time and money to achieve the perfect looking lawn. That’s why many homeowners also opt for artificial turf instead. With it, they only need a minimal amount of maintenance because it does not require all the other elements that nature requires to grow. Synthetic grass will only need the occasional washing to rid of stains and smell, but beyond that, there’s no need for electricity to mow the lawn, or gallons of water on the daily to keep them nourished. Mitigate Allergies and Pests Natural grass in gardens can look pretty, not only for you but also for insects and other disease- carrying bugs. Bacteria can also be brought into the house, exposing the people in it to health risks, by tracks of soil brought in by the family pet, for example. Page | 2
