I would say the key advantage of having artificial grass over pavers is that you have a grass! We all know that landscape designs can’t be without greens, all rocks or pavers won’t make a design perfect, green grass in most caseS can be a key factor of the design and result. I am not opposing to pavers at all, there are many projects designed and built by using both, keep in mind, the sub base preparations for both turf and pavers are almost identical, and installations with both products shouldn’t be considered more complicated. If you have to choose from one, it will depend on what usage you have intended for, if there will be just general landscape, I will of course recommend turf, but if your application involves with more abusive actions such as driving a car on it, pavers will definitely be the better choice.

The cost of artificial grass and paver projects are very similar even though the materials cost can vary. The way of artificial grass being installed is very similar with that of pavers: excavation of soil ground, preparation of drainage base and compacted smooth surface, such installations require some hard labor along with bulk materials such as drain rocks and decomposed granites. Given such installation similarities, the cost of installing artificial grass and pavers can be compatible: Even though paver installations can take relatively longer as you need to lay them down piece by piece, but pavers won’t need other accessories such as seaming tape, glues, installation nails and infills which are needed for artificial grass installation.

The main benefit of lower faceweight is the cost: the lower the faceweight, the less materials being used and the cost will be relatively lower. On the other hand, one of the key goals of manufacturing artificial grass is to make it as realistic as possible, by that said, it is not necessarily true that the heavier the faceweight, the better the product: the better product should be a perfect combination of decent faceweight and realistic.

Saving water is one of the main benefits of artificial grass over natural grass: on average more than 60% of a household’s water usage is for natural lawns, so having artificial turf you will save a lot of money on your water bill. Lawn mowers produce air pollution which is worse than cars, installing artificial grass will eliminate the use of lawn mowers and benefit air quality.
