When it comes to keeping your lawn lush and green all year long, everyone knows that can include high-energy bills, an abundance of water usage and lots of upkeep. That is if you are catering to natural grass, of course. On average, your lawn could require 1 to 1½ inches of water per week, which becomes 6 inches per month and 72 inches per year. What’s more, individuals who don’t know how to properly care for their lawn end up overwatering and using even more water. With artificial grass, you can actually save on water. But how? Read on to find out how much water you can save with synthetic grass.
What is Artificial Grass?
Artificial grass is a surface of synthetic fibres combined together to create a natural lawn finish to look and feel like real grass. Originally it was used for indoor and outdoor sports alike, but more recently, it has expanded to backyard landscaping, indoor areas, rooftop patios and more. Artificial grass installation is a maintenance-free way to get the look and feel of natural grass without the upkeep and abundant water usage.
How Much Water Can You Save With Synthetic Grass?
The first obvious determinant is the size of your lawn. If you have a large surface area of front and backyard grass, it’s no surprise that you will be using more water than the average homeowner to upkeep your grass. Those with more extensive areas will save the most amount of water by replacing their large area with synthetic turf. For example, by replacing 1000 square feet of natural grass with artificial grass, a homeowner can save up to 55 000 gallons of water each year. Homeowners with smaller grass areas may not use as much water, but the savings will still be noticeable.
Water Bills
Besides saving water for environmental purposes, you will see a significant decrease in your water bills with artificial grass. Homeowners already know the high costs of utilities in the GTA, so why make it worse to water your grass? While synthetic grass seems like a more costly investment upfront, you will save way more money over time.
