| Artificial Grass |
Panjia installs Artificial Grass in San Diego, Orange, Los Angeles, and San Bernadino County.Panjia, Inc. installs artificial grass simply because we believe in the value proposition associated with artificial grass. Panjia is a professional landscape company, and has installed its share of natural grass.... while we still like natural grass, the benefits that come along with an artificial grass installation outweigh any other turf available. The most common reason artificial grass is chosen for residential lawns, sportting fields, putting greens and playgrounds are the maintenance requirements involved. Compared to natural sod, there is virtually zero maintenance. Watering, mowing, fertilizing, aerating, seeding and weed pulling will never have to be done again. The useable life expectancy of most artificial grass products is 20 to 25 years, during that period you will never have to pay for, or perform, those maintenance hassles again, saving you time and money.
Why Artificial Grass?
Initially, when you purchase an artificial grass installation you can expect to pay approximately three times the amount of what a natural grass installation with irrigation would cost. While the initial sticker shock might make you think twice about installing artificial grass, you must consider the long term costs. An average artificial grass installation will repay itself in about three years. After that period, you will be keeping the money normally spent on maintaining your grass in your pocket. In fact, a recent cost analysis of a 1,000 square foot lawn area shows that over a 12 year period a home owner would save $19,440 in maintenance and watering costs. This analysis assumes the use of a gardener, periodic fertilizing, and anticipated sprinkler repairs. The estimated savings of $19,440 is a large number and is well worth the initial investment. Other reasons Panjia believes in artificial grass is because it is good for the environment. California is in a water crisis, with no real signs of relief. Water reservoirs are at just 65% of average volume, precipitation is still well below what is considered a decent amount, snow pack is minimal and diversion restrictions to preserve the Delta Smelt fish are reducing the water distribution through the Delta west of San Joaquin by 20 to 30%. Our water crisis has triggered unprecedented watering restrictions, contributed to rate hikes in most counties, and has prompted discussion of water rationing. Now is the time to conserve water and installing an artificial grass will do just that. (Source: Dember 2009 California Dought Report)
Most water authorities are offering rebates for installing water efficient landscapes. This includes artificial grass. Every authority is different; however, we have seen rebates up of to $1.00 a square foot, which is a savings of over 10% of the average installed price. Rebates, combined with long term savings, zero maintenance, and a realistic looking and feeling lawn are solid reasons to choose artificial grass for your lawn.
