Artificial Turf vs Natural Real Grass: How to choose? A complete guide and comparison to help you make the best decision.

Hey, my friends. When choosing a lawn for our garden, park, or sports field, the natural thing that comes to mind is real grass and artificial turf. Both types of grass have their own advantages and disadvantages. Real grass is natural and beautiful but inconvenient to maintain; artificial turf is easy to take care of but lacks a natural style. So, how do we make the best choice between the two? Today, the editor will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the two turfs in detail through this article to help you make an informed decision based on your specific needs.

First, let's discuss the advantages of natural real grass.

1. Natural Beauty: Real turf is composed of natural grass seeds and soil. The natural touch and appearance of real turf make it easier to realize the desire to get close to nature, giving people a sense of comfort and relaxation.

2. Ecological Benefits: Real grass can absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, which helps to improve air quality.

3. Biodiversity: Real grass can provide habitats for insects and small animals, promoting ecological balance.

4.Emperature Regulation: Real grass can reduce the temperature of the surrounding environment through transpiration.

5. Psychological Benefits: Contact with natural turf can improve people's mental health and reduce stress and anxiety.

Then, let's look at artificial turf's advantages.

1. Diversity: Artificial turf simulates the look and feel of real turf through synthetic materials. There are many types. The main materials such as monofilament grass, mesh grass, curly grass, etc. can be selected according to different needs.

2.All-weather Use: Whether hot summer or cold winter, artificial turf can maintain good condition.

3. Durability: Able to withstand intensive use and various weather conditions, not easy to damage.

4. Environmental Protection: Reduced water consumption and the use of chemicals.

5.Low Maintenance: No watering, mowing or fertilizing is required, saving time and money.

6. Easy Installation: The installation process of artificial turf is relatively simple, and it can be laid and put into use quickly.

Difference in maintenance costs

How to maintain real grass?

The initial investment is low, but the maintenance cost is high. Real turf requires regular watering, mowing, fertilization, and pest control, and the annual maintenance cost is high, especially under high-intensity use.

How to maintain artificial turf?

The initial investment is high, but the subsequent maintenance cost is low. According to statistics, the initial investment of artificial turf is about 3.6 times that of natural turf, but the annual maintenance cost is less than 8% of that of natural turf. The maintenance of artificial turf mainly includes regular cleaning and inspection, and the cost is relatively low.

What scenes are artificial turf and real turf suitable for?

Artificial Turf: It is not only easy to install, but also can withstand the test of various climatic conditions and traffic, so it is suitable for places that require high-frequency and high-intensity use and limited maintenance capabilities, commercial areas, schools, hospitals and other public areas, residential areas. In addition, artificial turf is very suitable for balcony use. Artificial turf is light, easy to install and maintain, and does not require sunlight and moisture. It can maintain good condition in any weather conditions and is an ideal choice for balcony greening.

Real Grass: It is suitable for leisure and viewing places that require natural beauty and comfortable touching, such as courtyards and parks. At the same time, it also performs well in stadiums and golf courses, after all, it provides good elasticity and friction. Although natural real grass can also be planted on the balcony, it requires sufficient sunlight and regular watering and mowing. If the balcony has limited lighting conditions and maintenance capabilities, real natural grass may not be suitable.

How do families with pets and children choose the turf that suits them?

Real Grass: Although real turf has a better natural touch, it is more difficult to maintain and is easily damaged by pets. In addition, real turf may breed insects, posing a potential threat to children's health. For pets, it will also increase the chance of fleas, which is a bad thing, isn't it?

Artificial Turf: Suitable for families with pets and children. Artificial turf is durable and easy to clean, not easy to breed bacteria and pests, and can withstand pets' scratching and children's play. In addition, the surface of artificial turf is softer, reducing the risk of children falling and getting injured.

Summary

Of course, the above comprehensive analysis and discussion with everyone only allow everyone to have a certain understanding of artificial turf and real grass. Which kind of turf is more suitable for us is not absolute. No matter which turf we choose, it should be evaluated according to actual needs and preferences. If you require a green and beautiful outdoor venue that is not affected by weather and does not require too much time and money to maintain frequently, then artificial turf may be more suitable for you. If you value the natural feeling and are comfortable stepping more and getting good ecological benefits, real grass may be a better choice.
