The common areas are shared spaces found in residential buildings, housing estates, condominiums and communities of owners, and include gardens, patios, swimming pools and playgrounds, among others.
In any community of neighbors, keeping these common areas clean and attractive for residents and visitors is a priority, but… Not at any price. A good Property Manager must take into account both the cost of maintenance and its sustainability.
Therefore, the use of artificial turf is becoming one of the most requested solutions by Property Managers and Presidents of Owners Associations to keep these areas in perfect condition, reducing budget items that are allocated to its maintenance and, at the same time, taking care of the environment thanks to the decrease in the amount of water that artificial turf requires.
But these are not the only advantages that artificial turf has compared to natural turf, below we explain them all, one by one:
Advantages of Artificial Turf Used in Common Areas
Water Saving with the Installation of Artificial Turf
If you are a Property Manager or President of an Owners Association, we are sure that these figures will impress you.
Let’s imagine that you have a common area of 100 m². If you landscape it with natural grass, to keep it always green and well-kept, you will need an average, depending on the climate, type of soil and time of year, of 600 liters of water per day (6 l/m2/day), that is, 219,000 liters of water per year, or what is the same 219 m3.
Taking into account the average price of water in Spain (€1.9/m3), this amount represents an annual cost of €416, that is, an average of almost €35 per month allocated solely to watering the natural grass. An amount to which you have to add expenses of fertilizers, compost, pruning… A never-ending story for which more and more Property Managers and Presidents of Owners Associations, are contacting Garden Store to replace their natural grass with artificial turf.
To this reason of weight is added another no less important: the care of the environment. Until very recently, Spain has suffered an intense drought that, unfortunately, is repeated cyclically. Saving water in every possible way is something that we must do together and the installation of artificial turf is a perfect solution to achieve it.
