Artificial grass is a synthetic alternative to natural grass that looks and feels like real grass. But it does not need any watering, mowing, fertilizing, or pesticides. It is made of durable fibers that are attached to a backing material and filled with sand or rubber granules to provide cushioning and stability.
One of the main advantages of artificial grass is that it can save you a lot of water compared to natural grass. Estimates range from 50% to 90%, depending on factors like climate, watering habits, and the type of artificial grass installed.
Imagine you have a 1,500-square-foot lawn in California and use an average of 52 gallons of water per square foot annually. Switching to artificial grass can potentially save you:
- 52 gallons/sq ft * 1,500 sq ft = 78,000 gallons/year
That’s enough water to fill 312 bathtubs!
