It is true, that lush Synthetic grass, when properly installed by a qualified and reputable landscape contractor can pay from itself many times over!
Let's compare together the costs for a 1200 square foot average Las Vegas or Henderson synthetic lawn installation using artificial lawn prices from Synlawn at the local Lowe's, VS having a real sodded Tall Fescue lawn installed:
Synthetic Grass Cost:
1200 Square feet of a medium to better quality synthetic lawn
$8.00 (average) per foot installed price from Synlawn at Lowe's
Installed price by Synlawn at Lowe's $9,600.00
ACTUAL COST IN THREE YEARS: 9,600.00
Now, let's compare a natural sodded Tall Fescue Lawn Cost:
1200 Square feet of real Tall Fescue grass sod and sprinklers:
$3.50 or more per foot installed by a local contractor
Installed price by local contractor is apx. $4,200.00
Gardening service at $100.00 per month
Fertilization service $200 per year
Sprinkler repairs avg $100.00 per year or more
Water cost for 1200 square feet is 66,000 per year (per SNWA) or $339.00 per year. (Thats $3,300 dollars over ten years!)
So our new quality synthetic lawn will cost us: $9600.00 over three yrs.
A real sod lawn will cost us over $9700.00 over three years- $12,000 over ten years!
Now, if you shop around and locate quality synthetic grass from another reputable company in Las Vegas that is lees expensive than $8.00 per foot, you will save even more and your pay off will be much sooner than three years!
