3 Ways Artificial Grass Is Good For Your Business
A landscape solution that combines economy, ecology and aesthetics - choose UNIGRASS and let greenery add points to your business!
In the field of landscaping, top products do not necessarily mean high returns. By choosing UNIGRASS commercial artificial turf, you will gain long-term economic benefits, environmental value and visual beauty far beyond real turf.
I. Brand Image and User Experience
Artificial turf can upgrade brand value from three dimensions: visual appeal, environmental friendliness, and functionality.
1. Visual Upgrade
In traditional commercial real estate design, natural lawns are often limited by sunlight, terrain, and building obstructions, failing to achieve the desired greening effect. UNIGRASS artificial turf, however, can be laid on complex terrains such as shaded areas, slopes, rooftops, and walls. It eliminates the need to consider soil, water, and climate conditions, remaining evergreen and beautiful all year round. The color and texture of artificial turf can be customized according to the design style of the commercial setting, and custom sizes and turf heights are also supported to achieve creative landscaping effects.
Compared to the monotony of traditional hardened surfaces and the messiness of natural lawns, artificial turf makes the site cleaner, more design-oriented, and leaves a high-end first impression.
2. Environmental Friendliness
Today, consumers and partners prefer companies that prioritize environmental protection. High-quality commercial-grade artificial turf uses non-toxic, odorless, and recyclable environmentally friendly materials, free of heavy metals and harmful chemicals, and requires no pesticides, thus avoiding pollution of soil and water sources. By using artificial turf, businesses can fulfill their social responsibility of environmental protection and enhance brand image through the "eco-friendly venue" label.
3. Experience Optimization
The soft, comfortable feel and cushioning properties of artificial turf significantly improve the user experience. Artificial turf rest areas in office buildings become a preferred place for employees to rest and relax during lunch breaks, increasing employee satisfaction; the use of artificial turf on school playgrounds can reduce the rate of falls and injuries during student activities; and artificial turf family-friendly areas in shopping malls provide safe and comfortable interactive spaces for families, driving family-oriented consumption.
II. Cost Savings
The core of commercial operation is cost control and profit margin improvement. Artificial turf offers cost advantages throughout its entire lifecycle, from initial investment to long-term operation.
1. Initial Investment
The installation of traditional natural turf requires investment in multiple stages, including soil improvement, irrigation system installation, and turf cultivation. The average cost is approximately 150-200 yuan per square meter, and a 3-6 month maintenance period is required before it can be used. In contrast, commercial-grade artificial turf costs only 120-180 yuan per square meter, requires no additional irrigation system, and can be used within 7 days of installation.
2. Long-Term Maintenance
The annual maintenance cost of natural turf is a significant "hidden burden." It requires at least weekly mowing, monthly fertilization, drainage maintenance during the rainy season, pest and disease control, plus irrigation fees, bringing the annual maintenance cost for a 1000 square meter area to 20,000-30,000 yuan. Artificial turf, on the other hand, only requires simple cleaning 1-2 times per month—using a brush to remove debris and a high-pressure water gun to wash away dust—with an annual maintenance cost of less than 3,000 yuan. It also eliminates the need for watering, fertilizing, and pesticide spraying.
3. Lifespan
High-quality commercial-grade artificial turf can last 8-15 years and boasts excellent wear resistance and anti-aging properties, maintaining its condition even in scenarios with a daily foot traffic of 1000+ people. Natural turf, however, has a lifespan of only 3-5 years and is prone to problems such as bald patches and soil compaction after long-term use, requiring complete renovation and replacement, resulting in high repeated investment costs.
III. Efficiency and Practicality
The core value of commercial venues lies in "continuous availability and efficient adaptability." Artificial turf perfectly solves the pain points of traditional ground materials in terms of usage efficiency and scene adaptability.
1. Evergreen Year-Round, Unaffected by Seasonal Climates
Whether in the cold winter or the scorching summer, artificial turf maintains a bright green color and a clean appearance, eliminating concerns about natural grass withering in winter and yellowing in summer. For venues such as hotels and shopping malls that need to maintain a consistently positive image, artificial turf ensures stable aesthetics throughout the year, preventing environmental changes from affecting customer experience.
2. Resistant to High-Frequency Use
Commercial-grade artificial turf uses a polyethylene + polypropylene blend fiber material with a non-slip and wear-resistant surface treatment, capable of withstanding thousands of daily footsteps and abrasions, far exceeding that of natural grass. In high-traffic areas such as office building parks, school playgrounds, and shopping mall lounges, using artificial turf prevents ground damage and depressions, reduces maintenance frequency, and improves venue utilization efficiency.
3. Low Maintenance and Worry-Free
Low maintenance saves on labor costs. Traditional lawns require dedicated personnel for daily maintenance, consuming the time of 1-2 employees; while artificial turf requires almost no dedicated staff, only needing to be handled incidentally by cleaning personnel during routine cleaning, saving on dedicated maintenance labor costs. For property managers, this means more manpower can be devoted to core services, improving overall operational efficiency.
4. Multifunctional Adaptability: Enhancing Site Utilization
Artificial turf can be customized in thickness, color, and texture according to commercial needs, serving as both a green landscape in leisure areas and a safe surface for children's play areas. Its excellent cushioning performance reduces the risk of falls and injuries. It can also be used as a temporary event venue, such as outdoor weddings or brand promotion activities.

V. FAQ
1. Is the initial investment for commercial artificial turf worthwhile compared to natural grass?
Yes, it is. While the initial investment for some high-end artificial turf is slightly higher than that for natural grass, combined with its 8-15 year lifespan and extremely low maintenance costs, the total cost over its lifespan is only about one-third that of natural grass. Furthermore, artificial turf requires no maintenance period and can be put into use quickly, avoiding losses from idle space.
2. How long can artificial turf last in high-traffic commercial spaces?
Commercial-grade artificial turf has a lifespan of 8-15 years, depending on usage frequency and maintenance. In high-traffic environments, it can easily last over 8 years with normal maintenance, far exceeding the 3-5 year lifespan of natural grass.
3. Does commercial artificial turf require professional installation? How long does the installation process take?
It is recommended to choose a professional installation team to ensure site flatness, drainage performance, and lifespan. For sites under 1000 square meters, the installation period is only 3-5 days; for sites between 1000 and 5000 square meters, the installation period is 7-10 days, which is much shorter than the laying and maintenance period of natural lawn.
