There is no point in having a yard if it will not have any grass. And with grass comes rigorous maintenance measures that are essential if the turf is to remain lustrous and attractive. However, with more and more parts becoming drought-stricken, maintaining a grassy lawn can be a herculean task. Instead of doing away with your lawn altogether, though, you should consider artificial turf. Here is why you should install artificial turf when looking to landscape your yard.

Artificial turf will boost your household's water conservation

Locations that receive adequate rainfall all year round are best suited for growing natural grass. If you live somewhere that receives minimal rainfall, then you would have to routinely hose down your grass to ensure it is sufficiently irrigated. This constant irrigation can cause a significant spike in your water bill. Since artificial tur is inorganic, the only water it will need is when you are cleaning dirt and dust off the blades of grass. Therefore, you are bound to make significant savings by making the switch to artificial turf, which also makes it a great eco-conscious option for your household.

Artificial turf ensures a pest-free lawn

Another reason to consider switching to synthetic grass is to decrease the chances of pest infestations in your garden. Pests thrive on organic matter. Thus, whether you have a flower garden or open grass, you are bound to be cohabiting with a host of creatures that will make your lawn their habitat. Resultantly, you will be forced to invest in pesticides and an array of chemical treatments to eliminate these insects from your property. The pesticides may kill the bugs, but they also make their way into your soil and will form a layer on your plants too. All this makes your yard a cesspool for chemicals. You would be better off with artificial tur that will not be accommodative for pests, which eliminates the use of pesticides.

Artificial turf ensures a weed-free yard                   

If you are not dealing with pests in the grass, you will have to contend with weeds. Weeds are particularly resilient, and you will find they can easily spread from your garden to other parts of your property. Carrying a single prickle on your pants leg or seeds from the weeds can be the onset of weeds growing in the cracks of your driveway, your kerbing and more. Artificial turf leaves no room for weed growth, keeping your property free of these pesky plants.
