Artificial turf may seem appealing for a year-round green lawn. However, it’s not a magic solution for a picture-perfect yard.
“Synthetic turf grass might look like real grass, but will ultimately end up in the landfill,” Lara Hermanson, a licensed landscape contractor and the principal and cofounder of Farmscape, told BI.
It can trap more heat in your yard than regular grass, and it still requires regular maintenance to keep it clean, especially if you have pets, Hermanson added.
Before committing to turf, homeowners may want to consider lawn alternatives, such as white clover or native grasses, depending on their needs and the level of maintenance they’re comfortable with.
