The Benefits of Choosing Turf For Your Yard

Transforming your bare backyard into a lush oasis is a dream for many homeowners. Instant turf offers a swift and effective solution, providing many benefits that go beyond mere aesthetics. From immediate results to long-term advantages, the decision to opt for instant turf can significantly enhance the appeal, functionality, and environmental impact of your home’s outdoor space.

Turf is Cost Effective

If may be surprising to realise that laying grass is far more cost effective than once thought. Whilst alternatives such as artificial turf, pavers and sandstone do offer their own benefits, the initial cost outlay is significantly higher per square metre when contact to instant turf. And when you have a large area to cover, the benefits of turf is that grass is definitely a more affordable option, regardless of the variety you choose to best suit your needs.

Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal & Improved Property Value

Ask anyone in the real estate industry and they’ll all agree that a home with a lush green lawn is a draw card for property buyers. Laying turf adds to the value of a home, increasing curb appeal, whether it is due to the way it offers people a cool place to relax on a hot day or simply due to its beauty. A recent survey revealed homebuyers pay up to 19 per cent more for a house with lawn. Now that’s a significant benefit.

Recreational Space

The reality is that there will always be children who want to run barefoot on cool grass, kids looking for the ultimate lawn to kick a footy on and a family seeking a comfortable surface for a picnic lunch. Instant turf provides a soft, inviting surface for outdoor activities such as picnics, sports, and family gatherings. It can also provide a safe and comfortable play area for children and pets.

The Cooling Effect

Alternatives to turf absorb heat and do nothing for the environment. Lawns can have a cooling effect on the surrounding environment, especially in urban areas where pavement and buildings absorb and radiate heat. Instant turf can help mitigate this urban heat island effect, making outdoor spaces more comfortable during hot weather.

Improved Air Quality

Did you know that lawn has the ability to act as a natural filter and helps to remove dust and pollutants from the air? And since turf is a non-reflective surface, there is no nasty sun glare to deal with either. Like all plants, grass absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen through photosynthesis. A healthy lawn can contribute to improved air quality around the home, reducing carbon emissions and other pollutants.
