California Residents Need Water Smart Lawns

ANAHEIM, Calif. - Dec. 4, 2017 - PRLog -- Southern California was hit quite hard by the drought this summer, and many residents lost a great deal of investment they had put into their lawns and landscaping. The drought that hit the area caused water reserve levels to drop to a point where residents could not be assured that there would be enough drinking water for everyone, which triggers mandatory conservation measures.  This meant that you could only water your lawn at certain times and for certain lengths of time, not providing nearly enough water for the grass to thrive.  Your lawn may have survived the summer, but chances are that you are going to need to put a significant amount of money into the rehabilitation of it in order to get it looking green and lush again.  The question is if this is a good idea or not, when you consider that we may simply go right back to drought conditions next summer.  This would mean that you would lose your investment twice in a short period of time, and nobody wants to do that.

Smart southern California home owners are investing the money that they would have spent on re-seeding their lawns into artificial turf or other water smart landscaping ideas.  Basically, because there is no assurance that there will be enough water next year to keep your grass green, many people are installing synthetic grass that does not need water in order to look good.  The synthetic grass products are so realistic that many people cannot tell the difference, and they make perfect areas for children and animals to play and lounge.  When combined with pavers that make a solid surface for seating and table areas, the water smart landscape can actually be far more appealing and functional than grass ever was.  This in addition to the fact that it will need no ongoing maintenance or care in order to stay looking great.  Coastal Greenscapes is an Anaheim artificial turf installation company that is seeing heightened interest from potential customers for this very reason.  They can be reached to do your installation of a water smart landscape at http://scturf.com
