When planning a new lawn, one of the biggest decisions homeowners face is choosing between artificial turf or natural grass. While traditional lawns have their appeal, today’s artificial turf offers a durable, attractive, and low-maintenance solution that’s changing the game.

At Kingswood Turf, we specialize in installing premium synthetic turf that gives you the look of real grass—without the hassle. Here's a side-by-side breakdown to help you make an informed choice.

Appearance: Turf That Looks Real

• Artificial Turf: High-quality turf has come a long way. It looks lush, green, and natural year-round, regardless of weather or watering.
• Natural Grass: Can look great—but only with proper irrigation, fertilization, and mowing. Expect seasonal browning or patchy growth.

Verdict: Artificial turf offers consistent, evergreen beauty—ideal for homeowners who value curb appeal with less work.

Maintenance: Skip the Mower

• Artificial Turf: No mowing, watering, fertilizing, or weed control. Just occasional rinsing and brushing.
• Natural Grass: Requires weekly maintenance during growing season, including mowing, trimming, irrigation, and pest control.

Verdict: Turf wins for busy families or anyone who wants a weekend lawn without the workload.

Durability: Built to Last

• Artificial Turf: With proper installation, it lasts 15–20 years and stands up to heavy foot traffic, pets, and play.
• Natural Grass: Easily worn down in high-traffic areas, and often needs reseeding or patching.

Verdict: Turf provides a long-term solution for active households.

Cost: Upfront vs. Long-Term Savings

• Artificial Turf: Higher initial investment, but significantly lower ongoing costs.
• Natural Grass: Cheaper upfront but comes with continual water bills, equipment costs, and lawn care expenses.

Verdict: Turf pays off in the long run—especially in Texas where water restrictions and hot weather are factors.

Environmental Impact

• Artificial Turf: Conserves thousands of gallons of water annually and eliminates the need for fertilizers and gas-powered mowers.
• Natural Grass: Needs constant watering, chemical treatments, and emits emissions from mowers and blowers.

Verdict: Turf is the eco-friendly choice for sustainable living.
