Conserving Water in Phoenix with Artificial Grass

How often do you think about conserving water with artificial grass? How about the role you play in water conservation? Arizona has become a highly desirable place to live, which means growth is on the rise! This also means we’re using more of our natural resources, especially water. Factoring in the natural climate of the Southwest and increasing droughts, water conservation is vital to the future of Arizona.

Homeowners are facing the challenge of how to save water to ensure we have the resources needed to thrive. Luckily there is a solution and the answer is right in your yard, install artificial grass. 

How Much Water Does Real Grass Require to Maintain?

It’s estimated that the average American home uses up to 300 gallons of water every day. It’s also estimated that about 70% of water is used inside the home.  The remaining 30% is spent outside the house, typically for landscaping.

However, the desert landscape of Arizona requires far more water to keep yards green. The City of Phoenix’s Landscape Watering Guidelines states that 70% of a Phoenix homeowner’s water usage is spent OUTSIDE the home, not inside.  In addition, up to 50% of the water is wasted due to inefficient watering methods and systems.

Homeowners can potentially waste 35,000 gallons of water every year and unfortunately plants and grass often still end up dead. The trial and error required to find the right formula for your lawn could add thousands of gallons more. 

How Much Water Can You Save With Artificial Grass?

Now that you’re more aware of how much water you could be using (and potentially wasting), we’re ready to tell you how much you can save. While various plants and trees need water, it’s grass that is notoriously one of the highest water users in Arizona yards. It’s generally estimated that one square foot of grass uses about a half a gallon of water during each watering session. Swapping out 1,000 square feet of real grass for artificial grass can save 500 gallons of water every time you water your lawn. This a could result in saving 6,000 gallons of water or more per month.
