Artificial Grass and Water Use in California

Planning to replace a natural lawn? Start with your water use, project needs, and total cost.

Water availability and watering rules vary by location and season. Check current guidance from your local water provider before planning a lawn replacement.

Artificial grass does not need irrigation for plant growth or mowing. Rinsing and cleaning, especially in pet-use areas, can still use water. Water and maintenance savings depend on the lawn being replaced, local rates, and how the installed turf is used and maintained.

Before choosing a product, compare the installed cost, drainage plan, cleaning needs, and the look and feel of a sample. Do not assume that a turf installation will deliver a specific increase in home value.
