Artificial Grass is Environmentally Conscious
CONSERVING WATER BY CONVERTING TO ARTIFICIAL LAWN
The average lawn uses 41,690 gallons of water a year
How much water does your conventional lawn use?
To calculate how many square feet your yard has, multiply the width of yard in feet by the length of yard in feet. Since it takes about 0.623 gallons to deliver 1" of water to a square foot of lawn, multiply your lawn's square footage by 0.623 to calculate how many gallons you use in one watering. To calculate how many gallons your lawn uses in a year, multiply the daily use by the number of days a week you water, then multiply by 52 (number of weeks in a year).
