One of the myths about repurposed fake grass is its unsuitability for households with pets. With proper installation, infill, and maintenance, used synthetic grass doesn’t absorb odors.
- Infill – by adding a special infill to your used artificial grass lawn, you are ensuring odor absorption. For extra nasal protection, you can even use a deodorizing Zeolite-based infill, such as ZeoFill
- Maintenance – by washing pet waste away with a hose (as you would with natural grass), you can make sure it doesn’t encourage bacteria growth and cause unpleasant smells.
- Installation – professional artificial grass installation teams know not to install a weed barrier under the synthetic materials since they may trap odors.
Myth 5: Used Artificial Grass Lowers Property Value
The truth is more complex. Artificial grass can actually increase property values instead of decreasing them. Experts believe that a well-maintained yard can increase the value of a home by as much as 15% or 20%.
The important term is “well-maintained.” If you do not perform maintenance once every few weeks, your front lawn will look matted and unnatural. A poorly-maintained yard, whether natural or synthetic grass, will hurt property values.
