Synthetic grass">
As Australia’s severe drought has turned many green, lush gardens and yards into brown, lifeless dustbowls, an increasing number of Australian homeowners are turning to synthetic turf as a viable solution.
Similarly, more home builders, landscapers, and sports and commercial facilities are actively investigating and promoting synthetic surfaces, causing a dramatic surge in synthetic turf demand here in Australia.
It is commonly believed that natural grass is much cheaper than synthetic grass – as grass seed or turf transplants are relatively inexpensive.
The bulky up-front investment for purchase and installation of synthetic turf may seem expensive. But in reality, the costs over the long term are actually lower than that of natural grass.
When factoring in the 5 to 10 year cost of grass seed, water, fertilisers, lawnfeed and pesticides, as well as the labour and time to mow, trim, aerate, fill, mulch and maintain a natural grass lawn, it becomes clear that a synthetic lawn can pay for itself within a few years, depending on the size of the area and the quoted cost.
For the average homeowner, however, the most popular benefit of owning a synthetic lawn is time. Less time maintaining a lawn means more time enjoying it.
There are many other benefits to installing synthetic grass versus natural grass, such as no watering, low maintenance, environmentally friendly, safe, attractive, and fewer long term costs.
