Water conservation isn’t just environmental—it’s financial. Here’s exactly how much artificial turf saves DFW homeowners.
The Numbers
A typical 2,000 sq ft lawn requires:
- Weekly: 1,000-2,000 gallons (summer)
- Monthly: 4,000-8,000 gallons (summer)
- Annually: 50,000-80,000 gallons
At Dallas water rates ($5-8 per 1,000 gallons), that’s $250-640 in summer water bills.
Artificial Turf Water Usage
Zero. Literally zero gallons for irrigation.
Occasional rinsing for cleaning uses minimal water—less than a single lawn watering session.
Annual Savings Calculation
| Lawn Size | Water Saved | Annual $ Saved |
|---|---|---|
| 1,000 sq ft | 25,000-40,000 gal | $125-320 |
| 2,000 sq ft | 50,000-80,000 gal | $250-640 |
| 3,000 sq ft | 75,000-120,000 gal | $375-960 |
Beyond Your Bill
Water savings also mean:
- No watering schedule hassles
- No violation fines during restrictions
- Reduced aquifer depletion
- Lower treatment plant demand
During droughts, your lawn stays green while neighbors face brown grass or fines.
