There is always Pros and Cons of anything in this world. Artificial Turf as the same dilemma.  I spent a lot of time researching this topic and I found a lot of great information on the Global Syn Turf website.  I also spoke with a very nice many by the name of Tim at Global Syn Turf who helped me tremendously.  First lets start with the Cons.  Artificial Turf can be warm to the touch in the middle of the day in direct sunlight.  Global Syn Turf's solution to that was keeping the sprinklers in to cool the turf down, use their Hollow Blade Cool Blue turf which holds water and keeps the turf cooler or use their T-Cool Infill that cools the turf down 30-50 degrees.  Lastly is the cost, turf can be expensive to install. You can either do it yourself or really search hard for a deal.  

The benefits really out way the Cons.  Artificial Grass has a 15 year warranty and a 20-25 year life expectancy.  It is always green, does not get muddy, is great for kids and dogs.  The real benefit is the cost savings.  You save on water and not having to pay a gardener.  They say 70% of your water bill goes to watering the outside grass in your yard.  Over 10, 20 or 30 years that really adds up.  Now I don't pay $150 per month for a gardener.  

Clearly artificial turf has benefits that out way the Cons and I want to thank Global Syn Turf for helping me attain a new artificial turf yard.
