The Benefits of Synthetic Turf for Eco-Friendly Living

In recent years, eco-conscious homeowners have sought ways to reduce their carbon footprint through sustainable landscaping and lawn care. One innovative solution that aligns with environmentally friendly living is installing synthetic turf.

Diamond Pavers is one of the leading companies in the field, and we offer various hardscaping services. In addition, we provide synthetic turf installations to our residential and commercial clients. These features have come a long way over the years, and today, you can get top-notch artificial grass that looks and feels like the real thing.

How Synthetic Turf Promotes Eco-Friendly Living

Here, we discuss how synthetic grass promotes water conservation, eliminates chemicals, and supports green living.

Save Water - Synthetic turf requires no irrigation, helping preserve this precious resource. The average American family uses 320 gallons of water daily, simply watering their lawn. With cities facing chronic drought and water shortages, reducing outdoor water usage through artificial grass significantly lightens the burden on local water supplies. Homeowners conserve thousands of gallons annually, allowing more clean water to remain available for essential needs.

In arid climates, synthetic lawns enable homeowners to maintain a beautiful landscape without excessive water usage. Synthetic turf thrives without watering, maintaining its vibrant hue and lush appearance over decades.
Eliminate Fertilizers and Pesticides - Caring for a traditional lawn often involves applying fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. Runoff from these chemical treatments enters local rivers, lakes, and groundwater - harming ecosystems. Installing synthetic turf removes the need for these harsh chemicals or fertilizers. Kids and pets can play worry-free on safe, non-toxic grass.
Reduce Air Pollution from Mowing - Gas-powered lawnmowers and weed whackers emit high levels of air pollutants, from carbon dioxide to sulfur dioxide to nitrogen oxides. One hour of mowing produces the same emissions as driving over 300 miles in a car. Synthetic grass eliminates the need for weekly mowing, significantly curtailing a household's contribution to air pollution. According to the EPA, switching to artificial turf can decrease a family's carbon emissions from lawn care by as much as 480 pounds annually.
Prevent Lawn Debris Runoff - Natural grass clippings, leaves, and trimmings inevitably enter storm drains after rain. This organic matter contributes to increased nitrogen levels in waterways, promoting algae blooms that choke aquatic life. With synthetic turf, homeowners avoid generating this harmful runoff waste.
Promote Recycling - Today's synthetic turf is often composed of recyclable, sustainable materials like recycled polyethylene plastic. The innovative infill options in modern grass mimic natural dirt and sand but are eco-friendly rubber granules made from recycled tires. Synthetic lawns cut down on waste by diverting these recycled materials from landfills and giving them new life. Many providers also offer rebates or discounts for trading in your old natural sod, further reducing landfill contributions.

Enhance Green Spaces in Urban Areas Using Artificial Grass

In cities and towns where yard space is at a premium, synthetic turf allows homeowners to enjoy lush green spaces without major land use. By installing synthetic lawns on concrete urban lots, homeowners support the greening of cities and increase access to beautiful green recreation and relaxation spaces.

As more cities face environmental strain, synthetic lawns enable residents to maintain beautiful yards while living green. For information about our artificial grass, call Diamond Pavers at 1-888-610-1762 or write to us through this Online Form, and we will contact you soon.
