More and more individuals are becoming cognizant of the dangers of climate change and are seeking to reduce their environmental impact. One significant step that can be taken into a consideration is making the transition to artificial turf. Synthetic grass installation can dramatically reduce your carbon footprint and environmental impact. Here’s how artificial grass makes a positive impact on the environment.

Lessens Water Use

The EPA states that the average American household uses more than 300 gallons of water daily. It is said that more than 30% of a household’s water supply goes toward outdoor use. This means that a significant amount of water is used for watering natural grass lawns to help maintain their appearance and functionality. Artificial turf does not require daily watering and only needs a hosing down occasionally. You can dramatically cut down on your water usage by making the switch to artificial turf, which will impact the environment positively and save you money on your monthly utilities. 

Decreases Carbon Emissions 

Artificial turf will not require mowing or trimming because its blades of synthetic grass will never grow. Meanwhile, natural grass lawns do require such maintenance which means that environmentally damaging equipment like lawnmowers are put to use. Lawnmowers are prolific polluters that emit a significant amount of gas into the air. For many, mowing the lawn is a frequent activity because of the pace with which natural grass grows. This results in a large amount of air pollutants that can damage the environment and harm air quality. Instead, choose to install artificial turf which will significantly reduce your CO2 emissions levels.
