Natural lawns require a lot of hard work, time, and expense. Mowing and edging the lawn, overseeding for winter and treating for weeds and bugs are a few examples of the constant work necessary to maintain natural grass.

Wouldn't you rather spend your weekend doing something fun, instead of working half the day on your lawn?

Aren't you tired of the irritating noise pollution from the sound of lawn mowers, edger, or blowers? What about the horrible smell from the gas-powered equipment? Don't forget the hassle and expense of maintaining and storing lawn mowers and other equipment? Wouldn't it be nice to eliminate all that?

A. Natural grass requires a significant amount of water and is also a huge expense. There’s tremendous savings, as well as the consideration of water conservation, by installing artificial grass.

A. Applying bug and weed killer to eliminate weeds and pests on grass exposes you, your children, and your pets to toxic chemicals. When you water your lawn, those chemicals run off into the sewer system, harming the environment. Artificial grass doesn’t require any of that, so the family isn’t exposed to toxins and neither is the environment.

A. Yes. Buying the equipment and maintaining it, fuel for the lawn mower, electricity or paying a landscaper to do it. And even though I know my landscaper, I don’t necessarily know the workers out in my back yard.

A. Well, there are estimates online that for a 1,000 square foot area of grass, up to $3,000 is saved annually on water and maintenance costs. That’s pretty significant. What’s really important for an Arizona resident to know is that some cities, municipalities, and the state offer rebates for both residential and commercial property owners for removing grass and installing artificial grass because of water conservation efforts. Some Arizona cities are offering rebates to homeowners who replace their lawns with artificial grass; ranging from $50 to $1,500 and up to $3,000 for commercial properties.

Of course, people need to contact their own cities and counties to determine what’s available for them specifically, if they qualify and how to apply to receive these rebates. It’s up to them to verify this information, and we can’t and don't guarantee it, because it changes. http://www.asgi.us/artificial_grass_rebates.htm#arizonaartificialgrassrebates
