9 Ways Synthetic Grass Reigns Supreme

Here are the best reasons why a synthetic lawn, which can last for 20 years in Central Arizona, won’t be as big of a pain in the grass:

1. Water Conservation

Our synthetic grass requires next to no water to maintain lawn health, only for rinsing off remains after one of our famous Arizona dust storms or to cool it off before playing with your family dog or setting up a slip-n-slide for the kiddos.

In Arizona, water is a precious resource, and maintaining a lush, green lawn can be a challenge. However, with synthetic grass, you can have the best of both worlds. Our synthetic grass requires next to no water to maintain lawn health, only for rinsing off remains after one of our famous Arizona dust storms or to cool it off before playing with your family dog or setting up a slip-n-slide for the kiddos. You don’t have to worry about over or under-watering, and you can enjoy a beautiful, green lawn year-round.

2. Low Maintenance

Say goodbye to mowing, raking, and continually having to re-seed. With our artificial turf, you will never again waste a Saturday mowing your lawn.

Traditional grass lawns require a lot of maintenance. You have to mow it regularly, rake leaves, and continually re-seed. It’s a never-ending chore that can take up your precious weekends. With our artificial turf, you will never again waste a Saturday mowing your lawn. You don’t have to worry about raking leaves, fertilizing, or re-seeding.

One of the biggest advantages of synthetic turf is that it doesn’t attract and provide a home for our native critters. That means no messy, environmentally harmful pesticides and weed killer. Our synthetic turf is a safe and healthy alternative to traditional grass. Not only are you saving money on costly pest control services, but you’re also helping to preserve the environment.

5. Durability

As you can imagine, artificial turf must be durable to stand up to Central Arizona’s climate. Extreme heat and wild monsoon weather takes its toll. With high-end, durable fake turf, you don’t have to worry about drought conditions. Additionally, good-quality artificial lawn stands up to the sun’s persistent UV rays.

Sun damage can easily weaken low-quality synthetic turf; however, Turf Monsters’ turf is resistant to wear and tear, even after years of enduring The Valley’s sun. Not to mention, your turf won’t fade due to sunlight.

6. No Fertilizers

Grass fertilizer is expensive and time consuming. Not to mention there are plenty of health concerns related to exposure to it. It includes nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (N-P-K) and other secondary and micronutrients that grass uses to stay healthy.

There are certain environmental, health, and soil degradation issues associated with fertilizer use. But you don’t have to worry about any of these things when you choose to install an artificial lawn.

7. No Mud or Dirt

When there’s no soil to interact with, it’s hard to make mud. Artificial grass is installed with a drainage system to allow for water from sprinklers, hosing down, and rainfall to escape without pooling.

Its durability allows for artificial grass to be walked on, even when wet after a heavy rain. While watering isn’t needed to keep your faux lawn green, you do want to hose it off on occasion to prevent dirt or debris from collecting.

8. UV Resistance

As mentioned, artificial grass is UV resilient. Synthetic grass fibers are made with UV-stabilized polymers that are treated to prevent degradation and color fading. Additionally, artificial grass contains color-fast pigments that are UV-resistant, preventing fading further.

In recent years, continuous testing and advancements in manufacturing techniques has produced a safer, longer-lasting synthetic grass product. Exactly what Arizona residents need to combat the sun’s effects.

9. Allergy Prevention

Allergies from natural grass are commonplace in Arizona, as a Paradise Valley artificial grass customer recently reminded us. Bermuda grass pollen, for example, contains one of the most impactful allergens Arizonans suffer from in spring and summer.

Kentucky Bluegrass isn’t much different and can trigger allergic reactions in certain people. Ryebrass, Fescue, and Timothy grass, while less common, are also common culprits for allergic reactions.
