Upgrading outdoor spaces with synthetic turf is a great solution for parks, schools or facilities looking for mud-free, durable surfaces. More than its beautiful, realistic appearance, synthetic turf is a cost-effective alternative to high-maintenance natural grass. With recent innovations, these artificial surfaces are capable of extensive use and can handle changing weather conditions.
While these are all compelling reasons to make the switch, the environmental benefits of synthetic turf are another cause for its popularity.
Saving water is beneficial to the environment, especially in areas where droughts occur often. By choosing artificial turf, you can reduce your water usage by a significant amount. Unlike natural grass, synthetic turf doesn’t depend on water to stay lush. This sustainable landscaping remains vibrant year-round without watering or cutting. To maintain the surface, you’ll only need occasional rinsing to remove accumulation of dirt and debris.
Since it’s not reliant on water, synthetic turf also helps lower your utility bills in addition to helping the planet. Lesser maintenance costs over time offset the upfront cost of installation, so you can save money in the long run.
Most insects and pests thrive in natural grass. That’s why regular maintenance is crucial when choosing natural turf — you need pesticides to keep the field free from invasive organisms. Excessive exposure and long-term usage of these pesticides can lead to environmental concerns, such as:
Eliminate toxic substances that can harm you and the environment. Premium synthetic turf doesn’t require chemical treatments because it’s not susceptible to becoming the habitat of smaller living organisms. It’s a safer alternative that will look beautiful for years to come, even with limited maintenance and chemical-free upkeep.
That heavy-duty lawn mower may be doing more environmental harm than you think. Gas-powered lawn equipment engines emit significant greenhouse gas that contributes to air pollution. If you have a bigger area to maintain, that means more harmful emissions.
Using synthetic turf eliminates the need for air-polluting mowers and other lawn maintenance equipment. You just need some water to clean the surface.
From plastic trash bags used for yard trimmings to defective lawn maintenance equipment, maintaining natural grass can indirectly contribute to growing landfills. Install an artificial turf to reduce waste and help combat climate change.
