Artificial vs Natural Grass: 10-Year Cost Comparison

Artificial vs Natural Grass: 10-Year Cost Comparison

The initial investment in artificial grass may seem high, but when does it pay for itself? We carried out a 10-year comparative study.

Water Savings

A 50 m² garden in Madrid spends around €250/year on water with natural grass. With artificial grass, the cost is almost zero.

Maintenance Savings

Say goodbye to lawnmowers, fertiliser, fungicides and reseeding. Estimated savings on products and equipment exceed €150/year.

Conclusion

A quality installation typically pays for itself between year 3 and year 4. From then on, it's all savings and free time to enjoy.
