Artificial Turf vs. Traditional Grass: Which Saves You More in the Long Run?
January 20, 2025

When it comes to choosing between artificial turf and real grass, many homeowners are drawn to the upfront price of sod. But what seems cheaper in the beginning often adds up over time—with water bills, maintenance tools, and lawn care services piling on year after year.

So, how do turf and traditional lawns really compare? At Kingswood Turf, we’ve helped hundreds of homeowners see beyond the surface cost. Let’s break down the numbers and long-term value.

💦 Water Conservation = More Savings

The average American lawn uses 55,000 gallons of water per year. That’s not just bad for the environment—it’s expensive.

Artificial turf reduces:

  • Monthly utility bills
  • Strain on your irrigation system
  • Your environmental footprint

Turf is a win for your wallet and the planet.

🏠 Resale Value & Curb Appeal

Turf adds:

  • Clean, low-maintenance curb appeal
  • Modern landscaping that photographs beautifully
  • Long-term value without added expense

Buyers love move-in-ready yards. Turf makes your home stand out without worrying about how the lawn will look on inspection day.

🧼 Other Considerations: Time, Effort & Quality of Life

With turf:

  • You get your weekends back
  • No noisy equipment or chemical exposure
  • Kids and pets can play anytime—no mud, no mess

It’s not just about saving money—it’s about saving time and stress.

If you plan to stay in your home for 3+ years, artificial turf quickly pays for itself—and then continues to save you thousands while staying green, clean, and guest-ready all year.
