Here are six reasons to consider recycled artificial turf for your home.

The Expense

One of the first things you will notice about recycled turf is the cost. Depending on which provider you choose to do business with, you will easily pay less than 80% the cost of purchasing brand new turf. The fact that recycled turf is so affordable makes it easier to fit into the household budget. Instead of going into debt, you may be able to pay for the product and the installation out of pocket.

The Installation

Installing recycled turf is no different from installing turf made using new materials. That’s good news for you, since it means the process will not take any additional time or effort. You can still get up this morning to a barren yard and have a lush green lawn by the end of the day.

The Look

Providers who specialize in the sale of recycled turf typically take some steps to refurbish the product. That includes applying a fresh coating that helps to ensure the color is fast and resists fading. The result is that no one will have to know you purchased used turf. To your neighbors, the lawn will look as if it’s covered with brand new grass.

The Maintenance

In terms of maintenance, the recycled variety will not require any more work than artificial turf made using brand new materials. You’ll still want to follow the instructions provided by the installer, but that won’t take up much of your time.

The Style and Color Choices

Some people think that recycled turf is only available in a limited number of types and styles. That’s not the case. A provider can find just about any variety that you could want. Many suppliers participate in a network that makes it possible to find all sorts of grass designs and shades. Even if what you have in mind is not in stock right this minute, your provider can find it and have a quote ready for you in a matter of days.

The Durability

While it’s true that the recycled product may or may not last as long as newly minted artificial grass, don’t let that deter you. With the right amount of care, there is no reason that you can’t get at least a decade out of the product. It’s not unusual for homeowners to get as much as two decades from their recycled turf. Rest assured that the product will hold up long enough to justify your investment.

There are plenty of other reasons to consider investing in recycled artificial turf. Before deciding this approach would not work for your lawn, talk with an expert. Find out how this solution compares to the purchase of fresh products. Once you understand all the benefits that come with the recycled option, there’s a good chance that you will be ready to choose a design and set an installation date.
