How commercial property owners can save money on water and maintenance costs with artificial turf

February 10th, 2011

A majority of property owners have never thought about using artificial turf instead of grass for their landscaping, but they ought to. Doing so can save thousands over a period of a few short yearsfor the average single family home. Larger land owners like real estate investors can save even more.

Building owners in arid climates such as Southern California are saving a lot of money on their water bills by having synthetic San Diego turf installed that doesn’t require water or weekly lawn mowing services. While owners incur a one-time installation and material cost for their investment, the returns are dramatic, often saving hundreds of dollars each month on water and landscape maintenance. Water bills alone have been known to come down by as much as 60% with the installation of artificial turf.

While property owners frequently wonder if synthetic San Diego lawns will have as nice an appearance as a grass lawn, the answer is a clear yes, as a result of the latest technologies in synthetic materials and installation practices. In fact, often the artificial lawn looks nicer than real grass, because overly thrifty water usage for real grass can lead to brown spots. With artificial turf, the look of natural grass is maintained without the cost and hassle of water and maintenance.

Many property types can make cost-effective use of artificial turf, such as churches and municipal buildings. Play yards are great for artificial turf as well, along with putting greens and sports fields. Property management companies can often suggest the installation of artificial turf to help their clients save money.
