This Summer In Las Vegas, Install Artificial Turf

LAS VEGAS - April 10, 2018 - PRLog -- The past few summers have been quite hot across the country, and this summer looks like it is going to be even hotter.  In Las Vegas, we have been consistently watching out water levels at Lake Mead drop over the years due to a significant lack of rainfall in the areas that feed the river, and this automatically triggers the ongoing water conservation efforts that most of us have grown used to.  The primary objective of the efforts are to cut down water waste through encouragement to avoid bad practices and also benefits in the form of rebates for good behavior.  The two main ways this program impacts residents is through restrictions on what days you are legally allowed to water your grass in Las Vegas, and how much time you are allowed to water it for, and rebates if you take steps to conserve water.  The restrictions on watering your grass are imposed because grass is not natural in Las Vegas, and will need more than 55 gallons of water per square foot in order to survive our summers.  The restrictions will not allow you to provide this much, and encourages you to remove it and replace it with "water smart" landscaping.

Water smart landscaping is the use of elements that do not need copious amounts of watering to look good.  This can range from desert landscaping elements like cacti and rocks to pavers and other ground coverings like crushed rock and cement.  If you absolutely cannot live without the look of green grass, or you are seeking a softer ground covering for children or pets to play on, it may be a good idea to install artificial turf.  This synthetic product allows for the look and feel of grass without needing the water to keep it looking green.  If professionally installed, it can qualify for rebates from the water authority in Las Vegas for up to 2 dollars per square foot within the recent program.  These rebates combined with the water you save and the savings as far as landscaping charges can pay for the artificial turf within only a few years.
