Artificial grass is better than real grass in some ways. However, they also have some downsides. First, let’s talk about the benefits. The most notable advantage of artificial grass over real grass is that the former requires very little maintenance. Also, they don’t need water to stay green. If you live in a place where water is expensive or scarce, this reason itself is enough to choose artificial grass. A good quality turf can last for several decades. The downsides of artificial turf are that it doesn’t have a heat-regulating mechanism like real grass. So, the surface can sometimes be really hot. Also, if a small portion of the grass gets damaged, you will need to replace the whole turf.
