Debunking 5 Common Misconceptions About Artificial Grass

Most Homeowners have heard the pros and cons about artificial grass. From concerns about its aesthetic, value, cost, durability, and sanitation these myths can deter people from considering turf as a good option for their outdoor area.

At InspireScapes, we believe it’s time to clear the air (or the lawn, in this case) and debunk some of these myths. Artificial grass installation is more than just the turf! Professional installation is key to a beautiful looking landscape to ensure it is done properly and seamlessly.

Myth #1

ā€œArtificial Grass looks, Well, Artificialā€

One of the most pervasive myths about artificial grass is that it looks overtly fake.

Let’s set the record straight:

  • With modern technology, artificial grass now comes in various shapes, sizes, and shades.

  • Our Turf is designed to mimic natural grass as closely as possible.

  • High-quality artificial grass selections offer realistic tri-color blades to create a natural but yet stunning appearance.

  • In fact, many people often find it hard to distinguish between a well-installed artificial lawn and a natural one.

Myth #2

ā€œItā€™s Not Environmentally Friendlyā€

Artificial grass raises some concerns when it comes to its environmental impact. We’re here to argue itā€™s more eco-friendly than natural grass.

  • Artificial grass doesn’t require watering, saving you countless gallons of water each year.

  • It doesn’t need harmful chemicals or fertilizers to maintain its lush appearance, reducing your landscapes carbon footprint. It minimizes chemical run-off into our waters.

  • Many of our turf options are 100% recyclable – yes, you read that correctly, every bit of the turf is able to be recycled!Ā 

  • And lets not forget, it cuts down the need for gas-guzzling lawn mowers, further reducing emissions.

Myth #3

ā€œWon’t it look bad over time?ā€

The answer is no! Artificial grass can withstand the pressures of high traffic areas, time, weather, kids, and pets!

  • The lifespan of landscape artificial grass often extends well beyond 15 years, with high-quality versions lasting even longer. Every lawn is different.

  • Itā€™s designed to be resilient and hard-wearing, itā€™s able to withstand the harshest weather conditions and any sort of playtime.Ā 

  • Our artificial turf options are UV-Protected meaning your turf won’t fade or discolor from the sun.Ā 

Myth #4

“Artificial Grass is Too Expensive”

Artificial grass is a one-time investment that lasts for many years.

  • It doesnā€™t require constant care, watering, or fertilizing ā€” saving both money and time in the long run. Enjoy more time enjoying your outdoor space than caring for it!Ā 

  • The initial installation cost of artificial turf can feel expensive, however, if you compare the price of a new sprinkler system with natural sod installation, you may be surprised to see that the costs are very similar!

Myth #5

ā€œItā€™s Only for Outdoor Useā€

Turf is not just for your lawn or backyard. Artificial grass can be used in many settings, including indoors.

  • Artificial grass can be used in many applications outdoors from poolside areas, courtyards, restaurants, daycare centers, playgrounds, and more!Ā 

  • But artificial grass can also be a great option for rooftop areas, patios, CrossFit gyms, indoor putting greens, or even your very own grassy yoga space!

  • Artificial grass can be a versatile addition to any landscape.

Artificial grass is a practical, aesthetic, and environmental solution to many homeowners. It’s high time we move beyond these common misconceptions and look at the greener side of artificial grass. Remember what you read here, and take a deep breath of relief. And remember, the grass is always greener (and fresher) when it’s artificial!
