Installing a synthetic lawn from onelawn® is not just a landscaping upgrade. It is a long term investment that pays for itself.
While the initial cost of installing synthetic grass is higher than re sodding your yard, traditional sod comes with continuous recurring expenses. Watering. Fertilizer. Gas for mowing. Aeration. Seeding. Landscaping services. Equipment maintenance. The costs never stop.
Synthetic turf eliminates nearly all of that.
onelawn® synthetic grass is a “greener” option for your landscape needs – in more ways than one!
An estimated 70 million pounds of pesticides are applied to lawns every year – 10 times more per acre than are applied to agricultural crops!
40-60% of the nitrogen fertilizer applied to natural grass lawns ends up in surface and groundwater, leading to contamination and impaired ecological health in our rivers, lakes, ponds and coastal waters
– In the United States, gas-powered lawn mowers use 800 million gallons of gas each year!
– Because there are so few emission regulations on lawn mowers, gas-powered lawn equipment produces as much as one-tenth of the smog-forming pollutants from all mobile sources.
– The average gas mower produces as much air pollution in one year as 43 new cars driving 12,000 miles each.
– Lawnmowers emit high levels of carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, and nitrogen oxides.
– The EPA estimates that 17 million gallons of fuel are spilled each year while refueling lawn equipment – that’s more than the oil spilled by the Exxon Valdez.
– Spilled fuel contaminates groundwater and makes smog-forming ozone.
– Grass clippings account for up to 20% (31 million tons) of the solid waste collected in the US each year.
– A single acre of grass yields 3 tons of clippings (and uses 250 bags) each year.
– The EPA estimates that at least one-third of all landfill material is yard waste.
– Once in a landfill or recycling station, any minerals, chemical, pesticides, etc. seep into groundwater as the clippings decompose.
– When grass clippings break down in landfills, they create methane gas – a greenhouse gas and major contributing factor to global climate change.

Traditional sod lawns are becoming a thing of the past due to rising water costs and the continued need for conservation.
Did you know that landscaping accounts for almost 70% of the water Californians use at their homes? A typical sod lawn requires 57 inches of water a year – that’s over 1 inch per week. While some comes from rain, the rest has to be provided by irrigation. In fact, a small lawn of only 1,000 square feet uses an average of 55,000 gallons of water each year!
If the lawn is overwatered, as many are (some sources say as many as 20-30% of lawns are over-irrigated – by up to 300%!), then the total water usage for that small lawn can jump to 75,000 gallons per year.
Although traditional sod lawns may be a thing of the past for Californians, an artificial lawn system by onelawn® allows residents to have a lush, green lawn that looks and feels like the real thing.
onelawn® artificial lawns do not require any water, so you can have the look of a healthy lawn AND help your local community’s water conservation efforts. It’s a win-win.
Installing a synthetic lawn from onelawn® is an investment that pays for itself!
While the initial cost of installing a new synthetic grass lawn is more expensive than re-sodding your yard, a sod lawn has recurring costs (watering, fertilizer, gas for mowing, aeration, seeding, a gardening/landscaping service, etc.), while the artificial lawn requires minimal ongoing maintenance.
Let’s talk about return on investment. If you install a new sod lawn today, you’ll have no guarantee after it’s installed, watered and fertilized, that it will stay green through the summer. onelawn® synthetic grass will always be green and beautiful!
By installing a new synthetic lawn rather than a new sod lawn, you will see a return on your investment in as little as 4 years.
Many San Francisco Bay Area municipal water districts are offering valuable rebates to homeowners who choose traditional sod alternatives. Save money by installing a onelawn® synthetic Lawn!

onelawn® synthetic turf is made from 100% polyolefin – a combination of polypropylene and polyethylene. That means that our grass – not just the blades, but the backing material as well – is 100% recyclable at the end of its life. Not many synthetic grasses can make that claim. The Duraflo™ backing material is also partially made from post-consumer recycled polypropylene fibers.

onelawn® synthetic grass is priced by the square foot and installation costs vary based on each specific project. While the initial cost of installing a new synthetic grass lawn may be more expensive than simply re-sodding your yard, a sod lawn has recurring costs (watering, fertilizer, gas for mowing, aeration, seeding, a gardening/landscaping service, etc.), while the artificial lawn requires little to no ongoing maintenance.
No. Synthetic grass has come a long way since the first installation of Astroturf at the dome in Houston in 1965. The first generation of “fake grass” gained a reputation for its unrealistic look and feel. With the advances in materials and construction over the past 40 years, however, we think you’ll agree that those improvements have led to a product that is virtually indistinguishable from traditional sod in appearance and texture. onelawn® is the next generation of synthetic lawns.
Yes. On average, the grass can be 5-10 degrees warmer than natural grass on a hot day.
We typically use Envirofill a specially formulated anti-microbial infill. Other infills are available upon request.
No. Our infill is one of the safest materials on the market – it is lead and heavy metal free and does not have the potentially harmful off-gassing issues associated with crumb rubber infill. Black rubber infill, when it gets hot, makes an unpleasant odor and the dust given off by the rubber fill can potentially be harmful to the respiratory system.
The best part about a synthetic grass yard is the fact that it requires almost no maintenance. The leaf blower and a simple garden hose should take care of any debris you may want to remove from your lawn.
No. While burns from cigarettes or coals from the grill will melt the fibers in the spot where they fall, our artificial grass is not flammable. The melted spots, should any appear, can simply be clipped away.
