When you see a yellow lawn, what's the first thought that comes to your mind? For us, it's "Is this house abandoned?" In Fresno, unattractive, dead lawns are a common sight due to low rainfall.
Anyone who doesn't invest a significant amount of money in irrigation and weekly watering risks having a lawn that looks more like hay than grass. This can have a detrimental effect on your home's value because brown/yellow grass yards are generally unattractive to everyone. Potential buyers may associate traditional grass with more work.
A poorly maintained lawn means more money out of your pocket. If you don't maintain it, you hurt both your home's value and your wallet.
Potential homeowners are well aware of the extra labor that comes with purchasing a property. If you have a pool, the first thing a person might think is, "How will I maintain this pool, and how much will it cost?" The same applies to natural lawns.
People immediately calculate the cost of watering and landscaping maintenance or the time it takes to do it themselves. You can almost guarantee that this results in them negotiating for a lower price on the entire property.
Artificial grass has the opposite effect. People see it as a relief from an extra burden and costs. They know they won't need to spend time or money watering and mowing the lawn and are more likely to pay more for the home.
Artificial Grass Creates More Opportunities for Your Outdoor Space
Unless you're planning on building an organic football field, there aren't many options for what you can do with an all-grass lawn. You can place furniture and other things there, but they kill the grass underneath.
Artificial grass leads to countless creative outdoor designs and features. First of all, any seating or other activity space you build on top of it won't destroy the turf underneath. The artificial grass flattens and then pops into place as soon as you remove the item.
Artificial turf is an excellent choice for playgrounds. If you have children, build them a gym set or playground on top of the artificial grass. It offers the same safety features as wood chips or other soft materials and protects them if they fall.
Our synthetic grass is incredible for building a putting green or even a full-fledged mini golf course.

Regardless of how robust your lawn is, it's always vulnerable to a hole here or a tire mark there. Artificial grass lawns are more durable than organic grass.
Having a lawn without holes and unsightly brown sections is crucial for curb appeal. Home buyers want to see pristine green grass with no imperfections. This is easily achievable with artificial grass, while it's close to impossible with a traditional lawn without hours of time, maintenance, and money!
