Installing a beautiful, timeless artificial green lawn on your property will have a positive impact on your home’s resale value. Homebuyers appreciate beautiful grass that requires little to no maintenance, money, time, or resources, and the experienced team at Better Than Real Grass knows just how to install it.
The Truth about Real Grass
Although most people prefer real grass over artificial, there’s no denying that natural grass is awfully expensive, especially when it comes to maintaining aesthetically appealing landscaping. Creating a lush, beautiful lawn with natural grass requires much more time and investment than installing artificial turf.
Not only is artificial grass better for the environment, but on the flip side, real grass is in constant danger of browning or dying, especially during a dry spell. Plus, natural grass is a forever home to insects, bacteria, and other unwanted creepy crawlies.
For this reason, having a well-manicured swath of artificial grass on your property can significantly increase the value of your home. While we can’t say that installing artificial grass will automatically add thousands of dollars to your home’s estimate, we can confidently say that it does have its advantages.
Curb Appeal
Imagine a newly married, young couple searching for a home and thinking of having children in the next few years. They want a nice outdoor yard and patio area for entertaining friends, and they’ve come down to their two final choices. While the two houses are alike in nearly every aspect, one has real grass while the other has artificial.
The couple considers all the advantages of artificial turf: it never fades or browns; it never has to be clipped or mowed; it stays unaffected all year long, and it’s gentle on bare feet. And when they have children, they’ll rest assured knowing the kids will have a safe, soft area where they can run and play.
Money-Saver
Artificial grass makes it easier to cut back on water usage, which can be extremely helpful for both the homeowner and the environment, especially in dry areas where water use is restricted.
For example, an average-sized lawn can take up to 150,000 gallons of water per year to remain lush and green. Since regular watering isn’t a requirement for artificial grass, homeowners who opt for synthetic turf can save money on their water bills and help the environment.
As you can see, opting to install artificial grass can increase the value of your home in numerous ways. First, it increases the beauty and aesthetic of your landscape, which makes it more likely to sell quickly and for a better price. Secondly, because artificial grass doesn’t need regular maintenance or continual watering, homeowners can save their buyers money on maintenance, water, and utilities.
If you have any questions or think you might like to enjoy some of the benefits of artificial grass, please don’t hesitate to reach out. The team at Better Than Real Grass is happy to help!
