Everyone knows artificial turf can be expensive, however it can payoff and even save you money in the long run. Synthetic Grass installed in your yard can save you water for many many years to come and thus saves you money. Also, if you pay a gardener to maintain your yard each week then that is even more money you can save. Not to mention your time, the cost of lawnmowers, weed eaters, gas, etc. My research shows you will recoup your investment between years 3-5 and everything you save above and beyond that is money you are making. So even though upfront cost can be steep to have artificial turf installed the long term investment is worth it.
