If you were asked to replace your lawn with artificial turf, how would you react? This is the sentiment that is going around Las Vegas to the current time as we face record heat and drought situations. Make no mistake about it, other weather has been getting hotter over the past few years and the water levels in our reservoirs that supply our community with water are running dangerously low. A simple trip to lake mead will show you the bathtub ring where the water used to be compared to the level it is at now. While most people will look at a lake of the size of lake mead and then that there is no way we can run out of water, they must understand just how many people now live in Las Vegas. We are a community of more than three million people all relying on the public water supply for drinking water as well as bathing and cooking. This does not count any of the animals who also live here and rely on the same water supply. Every drop of that water that is being wasted on lawns and other form of decorative landscaping could be used for drinking, and if we begin to run out there is nothing we can do to stop the process. This is why it is so critical that every citizen participates in our water conservation efforts that are put forth by our community. One of the main ways that water conservation can be accomplished in the Las Vegas area is to remove our decorative landscaping and replace it with desert landscaping or some form of water smart ground covering. This can take on a variety of looks, it is all essentially an exercise in saving water and still having a clean and usable space around our homes that does not need water in order to look good. There are many different programs that are offered by the water authority in order to encourage conservation, but the main one that will do the most good is the fact that they will provide you with rebates and credits of up to $3.00 per square foot for every blade of grass that you remove and replace with a water smart landscaping surface. Not only will this rebate help to defer the costs associated with the replacement, but after only a few years it will begin to pay for itself and more with the water that is saved. Even if you do not have a concern for the community itself, everybody wants to save money.
Artificial turf is a synthetic product that is manufactured in order to look exactly like real grass. Once installed, many people will actually say that it is superior to real grass and that it is more a lush and soft then the typical grass we can grow in Las Vegas area.
