Week 3- Help, I'm Tired of Maintaining My Yard!

October’s blog theme is Synthetic Turf Solutions for Common Residential Problems. This week, we will focus on the love-hate relationship homeowners have with yard maintenance. How can our synthetic turf help in this predicament?

First, the predicament itself. We have all experienced it. Saturday morning in August. It’s been a long week at work. You were up late at the kids’ game last night. All you want is to curl up on the couch and watch week 1 of college football. Then it hits you: the in-laws are coming over tonight. You sigh as your eyes drift to the grass (or weeds) which you left uncut last weekend when the in-laws had you over. You decide with hazy conviction that you don’t care what they think about the yard – and then your spouse walks in dressed for yard work. Hazy conviction turns to fretful action with reproachable speed. Sound familiar?

 Some end up in this situation because they don’t want to spend money on a third-party service for yard cleanup. The trade-off in this situation for saving money is losing time. But did I mention the money they still spend on yard equipment, pesticides, fertilizer, over-seeding, sod, and irrigation?

According to Google AI, for the Savannah homeowner’s first year of Do-It-Yourself (DIY) yard maintenance they spend an initial investment of $500-$2,500 for equipment, $300-$900 for supplies and upkeep, and over 100 hours of labor. These costs stabilize as the homeowner becomes more efficient over time, but let’s calculate the averages over 15 years - $12,000 and 1,500 hours (or 62.5 days)!

Enter ForeverLawn. Our LandscapeGrass offerings are geared towards the client who wants to invest a similar dollar amount up front so that they can win back their time and peace of mind. We have over 10 different products which mimic the aesthetic of natural grass (minus the browning in the winter!), feel great, and function with little to no maintenance.

And when you do move forward with us, your in-laws will say next time, “How come we didn’t think of that?”
