Installing artificial grass is an environmentally-friendly choice that allows you to enjoy your lawn for many years to come.

Less Water Usage

Artificial turf requires little to no watering except for perhaps the occasional rinse to get rid of dirt and debris. As there is no need for sprinklers to water the lawn, this will significantly reduce the amount of water used to maintain your lawn and will also be cost effective being both kinder to the environment and your pocket.

No Chemical Products

Regular maintenance and upkeep of a natural lawn often means the use of harsh chemicals like pesticides and herbicides to keep that lawn free from invasive pests. If you have pets or children at home, you need to be extra careful about reading labels on these products, as many of them can be toxic when exposed to the skin or when ingested. These chemicals may also be harmful if they leech into local water sources, an important consideration for those in drought-ridden areas.

Chemicals aren’t something you need to worry about with artificial turf. You won’t need a regular application of pesticides, herbicides, even fertilizers because your artificial lawn doesn’t need to be free from pests and weeds to “grow.” It will look beautiful for years to come with low, chemical-free maintenance.

If you’ve had a problem with weeds in your natural lawn before installing your artificial turf, it is possible that a few could crop up from time to time. A weed barrier is a simple solution that will keep your lawn weed-free without the need for added chemical sprays and herbicide applications.

Reduced Landfill Waste

Lawn maintenance equipment that is no longer functioning and plastic bin bags for lawn care products are just some of the items that take up space at the local landfill. Installing artificial grass that lasts for up to decades is a significant way to reduce the waste. As artificial grass can be often recycled, if you need to replace an old lawn in a new home for example, you need not worry about the waste.

No Air-Polluting Equipment

Garden equipment such as lawn mowers and hedge trimmers are a source of air pollutant emissions.The bigger your natural lawn, the more emissions you’re likely releasing into the air. This causes not only a rise in local air pollutants but puts you at risk for exposure to harmful particles, especially if you’re the one doing the yard work.

Installing an artificial lawn reduces your own exposure to pollutants and keeps unnecessary emissions out of the atmosphere. It’s an easy way to reduce your carbon footprint and keep maintenance and fuel costs low.

Reduced Noise Pollution

Garden equipment also contributes to noise pollution and is a nuisance to neighbourhoods which can also be reduced with artificial grass.

More importantly, you’ll be doing the local wildlife a favor. Noise pollution is not only stressful to local wildlife populations, it can make it difficult for them to survive. Animals may miss important mating or warning signals, or lose acoustic senses necessary for hunting or migrating. That lawnmower may be doing more harm than you think, and even affecting the biodiversity in your community.

Recycled Materials

People often worry about the environmental effects of plastics used in some artificial The good news is, many turf products are made with recycled materials and can be recycled once they’re ready for replacement.

Artificial grass can last anywhere from 10-20 years with light maintenance. It depends on how it’s used, exposure to the elements, and basic care. An artificial lawn exposed to daily, heavy use should still last for years to come.

The use of recycled materials makes artificial grass the smart option for eco-conscious shoppers who want to make decisions at their home or business that are environmentally friendly.
