Until recently, the real estate market took a dim view of artificial turf. There was a belief that a home with fake grass would sell for substantially less than one with a natural grass lawn. The reasoning was that homeowners were hesitant to commit to an artificial grass lawn and would rather have options when buying a home.

Recent developments are changing the opinions about synthetic grass within the real estate market. Not only is artificial grass becoming more realistic and natural-looking than ever before but homeowners are recognizing the many benefits of having a synthetic turf lawn. Current trends show that having fake grass might actually increase the resale value of your home.

Having an artificial turf lawn can add value to any home. Artificial grass means that homeowners can save a significant amount of money in the long-term simply on reduced water costs. In addition, they will be free of the time and money that goes into maintaining a natural grass lawn. These costs alone can be a major selling point for properties with artificial turf lawns.

There are other benefits to homeowners for purchasing houses with synthetic turf lawns. Pests can be more than a nuisance for a homeowner — animals such as gophers can tear up a lawn, reducing its beauty will taking a great deal of time and money to eradicate. Homeowners never have this problem with artificial grass. Artificial turf also brings significant benefits to the environment. Not having to mow or trim a lawn reduces the use of fossil fuels while pesticides will never get into the environment from a fake grass lawn.
