How Much Do You Really Save with Artificial Grass?
Investment vs Ongoing Expense
In areas like Alicante or Murcia, water is scarce and expensive. Keeping 100 m² of natural grass green requires thousands of litres of water a year.
Annual Savings Breakdown (50 m² Garden)
- Irrigation water: ~€350/year (natural) vs ~€15/year (artificial, cleaning only).
- Fertiliser and pesticides: ~€80/year vs €0.
- Equipment and fuel: ~€50/year vs €0.
- Your time: Priceless. Zero hours mowing.
Return on Investment (ROI)
Although the initial installation can cost €25-45/m², it typically pays for itself by the third year. Since a quality artificial lawn lasts 15 to 20 years, you get more than a decade of pure economic benefit and enjoyment.
