Despite their beauty, natural grass surfaces can be a pain to manage because of the immense commitment that they demand from their owners. Property owners with natural grass lawns are forced to spend extensive time maintaining them to preserve their appearance and function. 

One of the most cumbersome and time-consuming maintenance activities associated with natural grass is lawn mowing. Not only is mowing an unavoidable task, but it also presents various issues for yard owners, all of which can be simplified when switching to artificial grass.

Reduce Your Carbon Footprint with Artificial Grass

There are few maintenance activities as environmentally destructive as lawn mowing: 

• Lawnmowers are prolific polluters that surpass even newer model vehicles. According to data from the Environmental Protection Agency, gas mowers are even said to represent 5 percent of the country’s air pollution.
• Lawn mowing also contributes to the considerable water usage needed with natural grass yards. Each year, thousands of gallons of water are wasted by a household due to lawn maintenance activities like mowing. 
• Lawnmowers create quite a bit of noise when they’re in use, which can cause noise pollution and disturb wildlife. Long-term exposure to their loud noise can also lead to hearing damage for users. 

For those who desire a more eco-friendly surface, there’s no better surface for this need than artificial grass. Synthetic grass demands very little water use and doesn’t require environmentally harmful maintenance activities like lawnmowing. 

Lawnmowers are More Dangerous than You Think

Thousands of individuals are injured and dozens killed due to a lawnmower every year. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, one out of every five deaths caused by a lawnmower involves a child. Lawnmowers can be dangerous for those operating them or nearby and must be carefully supervised when in use. 

Keep Costs Low with Synthetic Grass

Maintaining a natural grass lawn is an expensive endeavor due to lawnmowing. Modern lawnmowers can be costly and require regular maintenance and repairs to operate without issue. 

Maintenance and repair costs, along with additional necessary lawn care equipment like trimmers and edgers, can add up over time. This will lead to homeowners spending far more than they could ever imagine. 

Costly maintenance isn’t an issue with synthetic grass. Artificial grass is a hygienic surface that is low maintenance and doesn’t need mowing or other expensive lawn care tasks. Artificial turf owners won’t have to pay nearly as much as they would with natural grass. 

Artificial Grass Saves You Time

Lawnmowing won’t just cost homeowners tons of money but will also take much of their time. Depending on the size of a yard, lawnmowing can take several days and numerous hours of hard work. Owners of natural grass lawns that need to be mowed twice a week will face an even more daunting workload.

Mowing a lawn also entails edging, trimming, and blowing off grass clippings which will add time to what is already a lengthy process. All of this can be avoided with artificial turf, as it is much more convenient and more accessible to maintain than natural grass.
