Synthetic lawns have all kinds of advantages over real grass, from water conservation to less time spent on maintenance to a vibrant appearance year-round. There are many other benefits that most people aren’t even aware of, though, and these are the benefits we would like to highlight today. Here are three unexpected benefits of a synthetic lawn.
- It reduces air pollution – Real grass requires consistent mowing for healthy growth and a neatly trimmed appearance, but gas-powered lawn mowers can emit harmful gases and particles that contribute to air pollution, as well as climate change. A synthetic lawn eliminates the need for mowing, reducing your carbon footprint.
- It minimizes weed growth – Synthetic lawns don’t block weeds entirely, but they do a better job of it than real grass. This is due to the dense and durable fibers of artificial grass, which make it difficult for weeds to penetrate. Synthetic lawns also keep sunlight from reaching the soil, which goes even further in preventing weed growth.
- It helps preserve wildlife habitats – Perhaps most surprising is that synthetic lawns can help with wildlife habitat preservation. Lawn maintenance can disrupt local wildlife because of noise pollution, chemical exposure, and mowing (which can affect shelter for ground-dwelling creatures).
