According to the National Integrated Drought Information System, the longest California drought in history started in 2000 and officially ended March 5th, 2019. However, due to the Mediterranean-like climate of most of California, the possibility of a future drought is highly probable.

While the drought isn’t currently active, California residents should remain cautious with their water usage. Even in regions where droughts are unlikely to occur, being mindful of how much water your household is using is critical.

One of the best ways to be more drought- and environmental-friendly is to replace live grass with artificial turf. While many might be unsettled about making such a drastic move, the truth is, synthetic grass can be a suitable alternative for many commercial and residential landscapes.

Why Switch to Artificial Turf?

One of the biggest perks of synthetic turf is the fact that it doesn’t have to be watered, therefore being a relevant landscaping option for drought-prone environments. While you may need to water down your artificial turf every now and then to clean off soil and debris, your artificial grass can certainly “survive” without H2O.

As a result of not needing water, you can also save money on your monthly water bill. In fact, watering your live lawn every week in the summer costs approximately $50 to $156 a month for the average-sized lawn. Imagine switching to grass that doesn’t need to be watered at all and how much you’d save!

Apart from saving water and money on your water bills, artificial turf has many other benefits. Fake grass looks and feels quite authentic, doesn’t need to regularly be mowed, and stays green all throughout the year without the sudden formation of nasty bald patches. Generally, artificial turf can be a more aesthetic and more affordable live grass alternative.
