Real Grass vs. Fake Grass

Does it really make sense to invest in fake grass when live grass is the norm? Increasingly, the answer is yes. In many areas of the country, water use and associated costs are primary concerns for businesses, municipalities, and consumers. Because XGrass® products do no require watering or fertilizer, their use conserves water and helps to keep it clean. It’s a "green" solution to an ongoing problem.

What’s the real cost for fake grass? An average cost break-even point happens within the first 3 years after installation. To get to this point, the figuring includes the cost of installation of XGrass® versus sod or seed, the cost of irrigation equipment and its installation, water costs, and maintenance costs. Because XGrass® doesn’t require water, seed/sod or fertilizer or machinery to keep it nice, on average, within three years it will start paying for itself, or paying you back. With an average life cycle of eight years or more, you can see XGrass® is a great choice for "green" grass.
