Why Artificial Turf Is the Ideal Solution for Drought-Prone & Water-Restricted Areas
February 24, 2025

Water conservation isn’t just a trend—it’s a necessity in many parts of the country. As drought conditions and watering restrictions become more common, maintaining a natural lawn can be expensive, frustrating, and environmentally unsustainable.

At Kingswood Turf, we offer a smarter solution. Artificial turf allows homeowners to maintain a beautiful, green yard while dramatically reducing water usage—and the stress that comes with trying to keep grass alive in dry climates.

Here’s why turf is the go-to choice for water-conscious landscaping.

💦 1. Reduce Water Use by Up to 100%

Natural lawns require thousands of gallons of water each month—especially during the hottest months.

Artificial turf:

  • Needs zero irrigation
  • Saves up to 55,000 gallons of water per year
  • Helps homeowners stay compliant with water-use restrictions

It’s one of the fastest ways to make your home more eco-friendly.

🌱 2. No More Brown Spots or Dead Patches

Drought-stressed lawns often become:

  • Discolored
  • Uneven
  • Prone to weeds or invasive species

Artificial turf stays green, lush, and uniform no matter the temperature or rainfall. It gives your yard year-round curb appeal without fighting the elements.

💰 3. Save on Utility Bills and Maintenance

In drought-prone regions, watering your grass isn’t just tough—it’s expensive.

Turf eliminates costs like:

  • Increased water bills
  • Sprinkler repairs and upgrades
  • Seasonal lawn treatments or reseeding

Once installed, your turf starts saving you money right away.

4. Approved in Many Water-Restricted Zones

Cities and HOAs are increasingly recommending (or requiring) low-water landscaping solutions. Artificial turf is often allowed even where new grass installations are not.

Check with your local municipality—you might even qualify for a water rebate or landscaping incentive for switching to turf.

🌿 5. Blends Seamlessly with Drought-Tolerant Landscaping

Turf works beautifully alongside:

  • Rock beds or gravel
  • Native plants and succulents
  • Xeriscaping layouts
  • Dry creek beds and decorative hardscape

It creates structure and softness while supporting a natural, sustainable aesthetic.

🧼 6. Still Great for Pets, Kids, and Outdoor Living

Going drought-friendly doesn’t mean giving up function. Turf provides:

  • A soft surface for play or entertaining
  • Easy cleanup for pets
  • A cool, welcoming look even during the peak of summer

It’s sustainable, functional, and made to last.
