Going Green with Artificial Grass
Artificial grass is a surface treatment that helps the environment although it is synthetically made. Fake grass looks and feels like the real thing but it needs no watering, mowing or cultivating for it to look green all-year round. Aside from that, artificial turf needs no pesticides or fertilisers.
By using artificial grass, you can:
- Conserve water
Watering an average-sized natural grass can use up approximately 40,000 gallons per year – a big amount of water that can contribute to freshwater depletion.
When using artificial turf, you can conserve considerable amount of water that can be used in more important things.
- Prevent water contamination
Fertilisers and pesticides that are used to maintain can penetrate deep into the ground and contaminate groundwater supply. Then, nitrate in fertilisers can mix up with water sources such as lakes, rivers and seas. The rise of nitrate content in water sources pose harm to human health and to the environment as well.
It will not happen when you use artificial grass.
- Eliminate greenhouse gas emissions
Lawn mowers consume fossil fuels that when emitted, can destroy the ozone and thus, hasten the effects of global warming.
A typical synthetic turf Perth product comes with an 8-year guarantee, but if properly installed maintained, it can last up to 20 years. For 20 years, you can save a big amount of water and money and you help the environment as well.
At the end of its lifespan, you cannot just simply dump the synthetic grass for good. You can still re-use it for other purposes.
If you look at it, artificial grass helps the environment more than the natural grass does. So if you are planning of a home landscaping project, artificial grass is your “green” choice.
