The Eco-Friendly Benefits of Artificial Turf—Beyond Water Savings
April 21, 2025

You already know artificial turf is a great way to save thousands of gallons of water each year. But the environmental benefits don’t stop there. When you install turf, you're also cutting back on energy use, chemical runoff, air pollution, and more.

At Kingswood Turf, we help homeowners make outdoor upgrades that look amazing and lighten their environmental footprint. Here's how artificial turf contributes to a greener planet—beyond just saving water.

💧 1. Eliminates the Need for Irrigation Systems

With turf, there’s no need to:

  • Install costly sprinkler systems
  • Run timers or drip lines
  • Deal with leaks or wasted water

This means less plastic, less energy, and zero chance of overwatering.

🌱 2. No Fertilizers, Herbicides, or Pesticides

Traditional grass requires constant chemical treatments to:

  • Fight weeds
  • Encourage growth
  • Deter insects

Artificial turf needs none of it. That means:

  • No chemical runoff into storm drains
  • No exposure risks for kids or pets
  • A healthier local ecosystem

Cleaner for the environment—and safer for your home.

🔋 3. Reduces Emissions from Gas-Powered Lawn Equipment

Every weekend, homeowners fire up:

  • Lawn mowers
  • Trimmers
  • Leaf blowers

Turf eliminates all of that. No gas, no oil, no noise.

In fact, one gas mower emits as much pollution in an hour as 11 cars.

🗑️ 4. Reduces Yard Waste

With natural lawns, yard waste builds up fast:

  • Grass clippings
  • Weeds
  • Edging debris

Turf creates no green waste, helping reduce landfill loads and compost overflow.

It's one less trash bin to manage—and one more step toward sustainability.

🧼 5. Lasts Longer, Reducing Replacement Waste

Kingswood Turf installs high-performance turf built to last 15–20 years. That means:

  • Fewer materials used over time
  • Less labor and delivery impact
  • Long-term return on a one-time installation

Durable turf is better for your yard and the planet.

🌿 6. Encourages Thoughtful, Balanced Landscaping

Turf blends perfectly with:

  • Native, drought-tolerant plants
  • Rock gardens and dry creeks
  • Gravel walkways and raised garden beds

This promotes xeriscaping and sustainable design without giving up comfort or style.

Better for Your Yard. Better for the Environment.

Artificial turf makes living green easier. With zero watering, no chemical treatments, and long-lasting performance, it’s a smart investment for you and the earth.
