make your home more valuable

Whenever the topic of a synthetic lawn is brought into a conversation there are always strong opinions for the installation of artificial turf and strong opinions against it.

Both sides bring up great points to support their claims, but the dialogue usually turns to whether or not the investment in synthetic turf will add value to a home. Here are a few things to consider when making your own decision:

  • Synthetic turf requires very little water. You will only need to “water the lawn” when cleaning it.
  • No lawnmowers are required to maintain artificial grass. This cuts down pollution and sweat.
  • Artificial lawns stay green all year round – regardless of the season.
  • Improvements in technology cause synthetic lawns to look realistic, eliminating the stigma possessed by the AstroTurf of the 1960s.
  • Some argue that synthetic turf can cause more injuries to athletes than regular grass, but grass that is not well-maintained will have holes and bare patches that can also cause injuries
  • Artificial grass is pet-friendly and easy to clean.
  • Bugs do not take up residence in synthetic turf.

In all, making the decision to install “fake” or “real” grass is unique to your family’s needs. A well-kept natural lawn will add value to your home, but it will require lots of time and money. The care that goes into a perfectly manicured lawn is the equivalent of a full-time job. On the other hand, installing a synthetic lawn can have a larger start-up cost, but will be relatively less expensive and easier to maintain in the long term.
