Eco-Friendly Synthetic Turf

One of the major advantages of artificial turf compared to natural grass is its eco-friendly nature. By significantly reducing water consumption and requiring minimal maintenance, synthetic lawns offer an excellent way to promote sustainable practices in your community.

Artificial grass has undoubtedly made a splash in discussions surrounding water conservation and the environmental impacts of textile manufacturing and recycling. As a result of applied sciences in material production and improvements in manufacturing technology, turf has successfully established itself as a viable alternative to natural sod.

Serious Water Savings

Replacing a 1,000 sq. ft. natural grass lawn with an artificial grass lawn, you can save somewhere between 35,000 and 75,000 gallons of water each year. This water savings is not only great for the environment, especially if you live in a draught prone region, but it can be great for your pocketbook as well with the potential to save you up to $1,500 per year in landscape irrigation costs.

Compliments Xeriscaping

Many homeowners elect to transition from natural sod to a xeriscape design instead, but often find themselves unsatisfied with desert-scapes and are left wanting more green. In lieu of – or even in addition to rocks and sparsely arranged drought-tolerant plants, artificial grass lends greater flexibility in landscape design while still minimizing the need for water. Add color to your curb, whether you’re filling negative space between pavers or covering a sloping hillside, turf’s got you covered.

Recyclability

A popular misnomer is the mislabeling of turf being non-recyclable when artificial grass can in fact be fragmented and the materials recycled. Services and tools are available to those wanting to break down their turf, as well as many artificial grasses having been specifically constructed for the ease of recyclability. Purchase Green carries specific lines of turf that are 100% recyclable for those that are worried about the landfill.

Preserves Land, Prevents Erosion

Natural landscapes, particularly in areas with heavy rainfall or on slopes, often struggle with soil erosion. This not only degrades land quality but can also cause sedimentation in waterways, which may disrupt aquatic life and increase water treatment costs. Synthetic lawns typically have a drainage system installed underneath to prevent rainwater runoff and erosion. Additionally, the non-degradable backing and installation methods of artificial grass provide a stable surface that prevents soil erosion, helping to maintain the integrity of landscapes over time.

Non-Toxic & Chemical Free

Maintaining natural grass lawns can be quite demanding. To keep them lush and healthy, you often need to use fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. This results in chemicals being present on your lawn, which can then come into contact with your children, pets, family members, and guests. Environmentally, this practice leads to more chemicals in the soil, air, and water. Opting for artificial turf over traditional grass reduces the need for chemicals in your yard maintenance, resulting in fewer chemicals and toxins.
