Put an End to Outdoor Grass Allergies with Synthetic Turf [2022]

While some of us live for the summer season, a huge number of people in Sarasota dread it, thanks to their periodic allergies. Since grass and the weeds that grow in grass are a few of the most significant contributors to allergies, investing in artificial grass for your home/property can cut down on your symptoms.

What Causes Grass Allergies?

Grass pollen is generally the foremost pollen in the air during the late spring and summer months, causing allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, and asthma. Direct contact with grass from either picnicing in the grass or mowing the lawn can also produce issues like hives and eczema. As per the American Academy of Allergy Asthma & Immunology, these reactions are remarkably common.

Your household pets can even have allergies to grass. If you or one of your family members suffer from allergies when in contact with natural grass, particularly those from grass pollen, you know the difficulties of enjoying and maintaining your backyard.

While it’s difficult to prevent turf allergens, changing to artificial turf will reduce your grass pollen exposure by getting rid of the organic turf ithat is your lawn. Although there may be pollen in the area from scrubs and plants, grass pollen will be removed.

Some people have changed to other organic turf alternatives in an attempt to alleviate allergies. One of those alternatives are mulch, particularly common on and around children's playing areas. However, mulch have concerns of its own in the shape of fungus and bacteria, which are also common allergens. Mulch also requires frequent maintenance and regular replacement.

Artificial Grass Benefits

Safe Alternative

Artificial grass is a safe alternative to artificial grass. It imitates the look and feel of natural turf without the natural pollen. Installing artificial turf for grass allergies is a smart landscaping solution that not only relieves allergic reactions but also saves time, money, and water.

Eco-Friendly

Artificial turf has several eco-friendly characteristics besides alleviating allergies, too. Consider how frequent you mow your lawn. If you are mowing with a traditional gas-propelled mower, you could be emitting as much pollution as 11 cars per hour, and with a riding lawn mower, as much pollution as 34 cars! Along saving yourself from a day full of allergies and pester when you no longer have to deal with organic grass, but you're also saving the environment and your family from harmful airborne pollutants.
