Are you tired of having to mow your lawn? You're not alone! You could get astro turf, which a lot of sports teams use. It’s made up of crumb rubber infill, which is made from recycled tires. According to the experts at the Synthetic Turf Council, this helps to keep upward of 105 million tires from entering our landfills. That said, there are plenty more reasons to consider installing astro turf! Here are just a few of the benefits you can look forward to.

Saving Time on Maintenance

If you have a grass lawn, you know how much of a pain it can be to keep it looking nice. You have to spend tons of time mowing it, and if you're especially proactive, fertilizing and watering it as well. You won't have that problem with astro turf. All you have to do is rinse it off now and then to keep dust from building up. The ease of maintenance will free up more time to enjoy your outdoor space!

Eliminating Grass Stains

Another hazard of having a grass lawn is having your clothes get stained after a vigorous game of touch football or playing with the family dog. Those stains need a lot of extra detergent in the wash. That said, you'll never have grass stains with astro turf! You can slide around on that and not get those nasty green or brown streaks on your clothes. You'll save on laundry detergent too.

No Worrying About Bare Spots

When you have a grass lawn, you have to worry about some parts of the grass drying out from a lack of water. There's also the risk of losing thickness from heavy foot traffic. Stressed grass will look patchy even from a distance. This won't happen with your artificial grass! As long as you keep the filler in place, the turf will always look great. You won't have to worry about discoloration for a long time. The turf will keep its original color even in the sun or shade.

As you can see, there are good reasons to consider this popular alternative to grass. Are you interested in finding out more about astro turf for your yard? We can help with that! Contact our team at Kirsch Landscape & Design today to get started.
