One additional reason for the growing trend in residential artificial grass is the busy lifestyle of today's homeowner
. Now, more than ever, consumers are looking for ways to save time, and installing a synthetic lawn is a fantastic way to save hours and hours of time. Real lawns require a ton of maintenance. First, there's weekly mowing and edging. Then there is constant weed pulling, fertilizing to keep it green, aerating it to ensure it's getting plenty of oxygen and, of course, treating with chemicals for a wide variety of pests. All of this requires a good deal of time and effort (and money!). Synthetic grass requires none of this maintenance and upkeep so the time savings is substantial. It's as low-maintenance as a lawn can be and is still going to look gorgeous all year long.
