To find out how much artificial grass can save you, we’re going to set up a scenario.
Let’s say you water your natural sod lawn for six months out of the entire year and spend about $15 on the cost of water. You also fertilize your lawn once a year for $0.20 a square foot. The maintenance cost $25 a week (whether you or professional takes care of it.
Written out like this, maintaining your lawn doesn’t seem too expensive. But when you add it all together, you’re spending over $800 on your lawn every year.
Now let’s look at the cost of an artificial grass lawn.
You don’t have to spend any money on water. You don’t have to fertilize it. You don’t have to do any gardening. So your annual cost for an artificial lawn is $0. And artificial lawns can last about 20 years without any maintenance.
Yes, an artificial lawn is expensive upfront, but it saves you a lot more money in the long run.
