Mowing your lawn can also expose you to large amounts of pollen and exacerbate allergies.

Mowing your lawn can also expose you to large amounts of pollen and exacerbate allergies. The act of mowing and the movement of the grass causes pollen to fly into the air around your home, worsening allergy symptoms. Artificial turf does not require mowing and will keep allergy attacks at bay by reducing the amount of pollen in the air. Turf grass has a short, uniform pile height that stays short and maintained. There’s no excess growth, which would trap dust and debris like in natural grass that causes allergies.

Artificial turf’s lack of maintenance also makes it an excellent choice for the 50 million Americans suffering from allergies. There is no need to water artificial grass, and it stays looking full and healthy all year long. However, synthetic grass’s advanced drainage system means that the turf can be easily hosed down to reduce pollen count even further, with no concern for mud, flooding, or bacteria growth. The low-maintenance nature of synthetic turf also allows you to eliminate any pesticides, fertilizer, or other products that can cause irritation to you, your family, and your pets.
