Artificial turf has the advantage of looking like grass without needing any harmful fertilizer or weed killer. Lawn care chemicals were in the news recently when a school groundskeeper sued Monsanto after developing cancer from years of exposure to RoundUp.
This happened to a man who sprayed it away from himself and then left the area. Have you ever seen a kid play before? They roll around in the grass, they fall on their faces, sometimes they lick fences.
Using artificial grass for your play area ensures that your children won’t be exposed to potential carcinogens in your own yard.
The use of synthetic grass also cuts down on waste. It’s often made of recycled materials, which keeps waste out of landfills, and it eliminates water wasted in lawn care. After the drought-plagued summer North Texas had this year, anything that wastes less water can only be a good thing.
