Transform your playground or landscaping with the right surface. When choosing artificial grass versus real grass, you must keep several factors in mind, including costs, maintenance, durability and environmental concerns. Both options have advantages and downsides. At No Fault Surfaces, we can help you decide on the best option for your property.
Synthetic turf is made of artificial fibers, which makes it capable of extensive use. Let’s examine what makes these surfaces a good replacement for natural grass and what you should consider before installing them.
Installing artificial grass is a great investment, especially with its durability and longevity. It can provide a smooth playing surface for safety and performance. While the upfront cost can be a drawback, the long-term savings from minimal maintenance make it cost-effective.
Enjoy a durable surface without the heavy upkeep. Synthetic turf eliminates the need for regular watering, mowing or adding chemical treatments, so you can save time and money.
Artificial turf is weather-resistant, making it more durable than natural grass. It remains green regardless of the weather. High-quality synthetic grass can also withstand heavy foot traffic, increasing longevity without the bare spots.
Synthetic turf is an especially good surfacing choice in areas prone to drought. Artificial grass doesn’t need watering apart from the occasional rinse, making it a more sustainable choice that can save water and lower bills.
Natural grass is another popular choice for landscaping. While its fresh and lush beauty makes it ideal for various spaces, it also comes with some downsides.
Planting an all-natural grass field often costs less than installing artificial turf, though the type of grass you choose can be a major factor in pricing. Some popular options are bluegrass, bermudagrass and bahiagrass. While the upfront costs are lower than synthetic turf, you might spend more on other expenses in the long run.
Maintenance is important to keep the vibrant look and life of natural grass. However, regular watering and mowing can be costly and time-consuming. It’s also important to consider that natural grass is susceptible to pests. Treatments for insects and weeds can add to your long-term maintenance costs.
Well-maintained natural turf has the potential to live forever — but if you don’t have as much time to care for it, your grass won’t look as good or last nearly as long.
Natural grass supports local biodiversity, creating a habitat for birds, insects and smaller organisms. The downside is that natural grass requires frequent watering as part of its maintenance.
