The flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping, and the days are even warmer — what’s not to love about spring? Unfortunately, one of the downsides to this otherwise-perfect season is keeping your Texas lawn in great shape. Pests, rainy weather, and constant use of your grass lawn can make it difficult to maintain a flawless appearance. Instead of spending your days mowing, watering, and obsessing over your lawn, you could enjoy year-round, gorgeous grass thanks to synthetic turf! Here are a few ways artificial turf can make your landscaping duties even simpler this spring.

Make Pet Mess Maintenance Easy

The better the weather gets, the more time your pet will spend outdoors. You’re likely finding more broken toy parts buried in your backyard and spending more time cleaning up after your pets’ bathroom trips. 

Pet waste tends to stick to grass, making it difficult to scoop away. Urine is also nearly impossible to entirely wash away from natural grass blades, which can contribute to persistent odors that stand in the way of both you and your pet enjoying your backyard. Synthetic grass, on the other hand, has a porous backing system and antimicrobial infill to prevent pet waste from lingering on your landscape. Instead of destroying your natural grass while trying to wash away ground-in pet waste and broken toy bits, you can spray and drain your turf lawn with little to no elbow grease. 

Keep Your Lawn Vibrant

Like many Texans, you’ve probably found yourself struggling to ward off brown patches or keep pests from ravaging your lawn. Since springtime tends to mean more time outdoors, it also means more time spent turning your grass into the perfect place for relaxation — an effort that’s often futile in the Texas heat. 

Artificial turf doesn’t require nearly as much attention and maintenance to look great 24/7. Turf fibers are coated with UV inhibitors, giving your lawn a permanently green hue no matter the season. Turf blades are also designed to mimic the dynamic hues of real grass. This means you can have all the visual elements you love about natural grass without investing nearly as much work into keeping things looking vibrant.

Reduce Your Utility Bills

The average U.S. household uses around 96 gallons of water per day for outdoor use. If you’re completely committed to developing a vibrant grass lawn, it can be easy to use even more than this to keep your soil in good condition and your grass blades well-hydrated. 

Installing a turf lawn means no more excessive water usage! Synthetic turf fibers do not require consistent water; the design and material composition of the blades prevent artificial grass from fading in color or losing shape. No running sprinklers or long periods of water usage mean more room in your monthly budget for the things you really love!

Steer Clear of Mud and Puddles

Have you ever stepped into your backyard wearing a new pair of shoes, only to be met with the familiar squish of deep, wet mud? Or, has your dog enjoyed a lovely play session outside and come inside saturated with rainwater and dirt? Get ahead of the rainy season and avoid dealing with unnecessary mess by taking your lawn to the next level with synthetic grass. A turf system’s drainage grids and compacted sub-base put an end to ruined shoes and muddy paw prints, so you can make the most of your outdoor space even during the rainy season.
