The Benefits of Having Artificial Turf in Nevada

Nevada residents are no strangers to dry air and warm temperatures, therefore making water one of their most precious resources. Dry conditions in the state of Nevada have made water that much more scarce and the effort to conserve it that much more abundant. With residential water use being most common, it’s no surprise that more and more residents and homeowners are looking to install artificial turf as a solution to conserving water, money and time spent doing yard related chores.

Below you’ll find some of the instant benefits of having artificial turf installed at your Nevada home!

No More Yard Work

When you install artificial turf you are automatically limiting the amount of yard work that your old natural sod lawn always required. With artificial turf you’ll never have to mow, weed eat, pull weeds or control ant and insect infestation. Upon installation, artificial turf is basically maintenance free, allowing you more time to enjoy your yard instead of working hard to keep your yard up.

Saving Money

A key benefit that you’ll experience after purchasing and installing artificial turf is the money that you’ll be saving. Although artificial turf is a hefty initial investment it more than pays for itself. Artificial turf requires minimal watering, so you can expect lower water bills. The fact that your artificial lawn does not require mowing or equipment based maintenance will also save you money on updating mowers and weed eaters, gas to run equipment and maintenance on said equipment. If you usually hire professionals to keep your natural sod lawn cut and manicured, you’ll be able to save that money as their services will no longer be needed once you install turf.

More Time To Enjoy Your Yard

Whether you’re setting aside time to mow or setting aside time to water or setting aside time to get gas for your lawn mower – yard work takes up a lot of your precious time. Since artificial turf is basically maintenance free, that leaves you with a lot of time to sit back and enjoy your well-manicured lawn without putting forth anywhere near the effort that your sod grass required. By installing artificial turf you’ll be saving time and spending more time enjoying your yard!

Aesthetically Pleasing Grass

Because Nevada is usually in a drought-like state and because the temperatures are so high it’s easy for your grass to look dead and damaged. You’re used to having to work hard to water and seed your grass to keep up aesthetically. Once you install artificial turf, it’s aesthetically pleasing and plush upon installation. There’s no waiting and no weather condition hindrances that will stop it from looking green and healthy right from the start.

Water Conservation

Drought-like conditions and water conservation efforts are common in the state of Nevada. Most residents, in addition to wanting their water bills lower, also want to positively contribute to the environmental efforts associated with water conservation. Less watering for household outdoor use year round can help reduce the amount of water being used and therefore help it to be conserved in times of distress. Some parts of Nevada are even offering rebates if you choose to install water efficient landscapes. See here for a helpful link.

Environmental Impact

No chemicals are used on artificial turf, as they are not required to help grow or protect turf lawns. By not adding to pollutant levels, your artificial turf investment will positively impact your environment.

Reduction of Allergies

There is a common myth that pollen doesn’t exist in the dessert. For those hopeful allergy sufferers who move to Nevada to escape dry eyes and itchy throats, they are sorely disappointed. It turns out Nevada is full plants and trees and grass that can inflame allergies with their pollen. With normal grass based play, there comes the exposure to pollen and therefore the allergies that result from that exposure. Artificial turf, in comparison, produces no pollen. Once you install artificial turf in your yard the only pollen that would possibly affect you or your children would come from possible nearby trees, not the lawn in which they play.

Cleaner Kids

Sod grass lawns are full of dirt and mud and they attract children like bugs to a light. Natural grass is rougher on clothes and eventually causes more laundry thus more detergent thus more time and money. Artificial turf lawns allow kids to have the same level of play and foot traffic, yet allow for a safer and cleaner play area.
