Artificial turf will last around 15-25 years once installed, which means that the initial investment should be worth it overall. Since you won't need to mow your lawn or irrigate the area, you should also be able to avoid the costs that come with hiring a gardener.

While turf is considered good for a lot of action, artificial grass' claim to fame is its good looks. Although these grasses can be just as durable as turf, the grass blades are much longer and softer, designed to look and feel as close as possible to real grass.
