It is estimated that as little as 1% of the Earth’s water is available for human consumption – a limited resource too valuable to waste. The average metropolitan area uses over 1,700 gallons of water every day just to water lawns. Excess watering not only drains the water supply. Run off water from lawns often carries fertilizer and other harmful products back into the water supply. It is also estimated that lawn and garden equipment users inadvertently spill 17 million gallons of fuel each year which also makes its way back into the ground water.
Conserving water is good for the environment and good for your wallet. Turf Direct is based out of Arizona and we install Arizona artificial grass in place of real grass everyday. With AZ being one of the hottest states and mostly desert, we understand a little bit about the importance of conserving water. It is estimated that watering the lawn accounts for about 70% of the average household’s water bill every month. Turf Direct’s synthetic lawns don’t require watering. In addition to all of the savings provided by a maintenance-free synthetic lawn, you may even be eligible to get money back from your local water authority. Water conservation has become such a major concern that many water authorities are offering tax rebates for every square foot of natural sod you replace with Turf Direct’s artificial grass.
