A few factors influence how much water you may save by installing synthetic turf in your yard. To begin with, it is determined by the yard being replaced. For instance, replacing a yard with plants that consume less water than replacing a yard with plants that require more water. To further comprehend this, consider the amount of water you will save by simply installing artificial grass. Because lawns consume the most water in residential landscaping, this comparison will show homeowners where they can save the most water.

The second factor that impacts how much water you can save is the size of your grass. Replacement of larger portions of natural grass saves more water than replacement of smaller lawns for obvious reasons.

Californians use roughly 40,000 to 70,000 gallons of water per year to irrigate a thousand sq foot natural grass lawn, according to the data we reviewed earlier. We are directly in line with the Southern Nevada Water Authority, which claims that homeowners can save up to 50 gallons of water per year for every sq foot of natural grass they replace with synthetic turf if we choose a slightly conservative number between these two and estimate that people use an average of 50,000 gallons of water per year to water their grass.

This means that replacing a thousand sq feet of real grass with artificial turf may save over 50,000 gallons of water each year. Given that artificial grass may last up to 20 years in a home setting, you could potentially save 1,000,000 gallons of water throughout the life of your artificial turf.
