1. Curb Appeal

There’s nothing better than your house looking the best on the block. You want people to say, “wow look at that house!” and the way your lawn looks can certainly contribute to that. Not only that, but if you ever want to put your house up for sale, curb appeal is important! People want a house that looks nice from the outside. Having that healthy, lush, green lawn can bring that curb appeal up for you!

2. Increases Value

Relaying off what was said in benefit number one, a healthy lawn is important if you ever want to sell or even just increase the value of your home. That beautiful green lawn is what people are looking for. By you already having it, others will be willing to pay for that. Even if selling isn’t something on your to-do list at the moment, keep in mind that it will increase the value of your house if you keep your lawn in good shape.

3. Improves Flood Control

Having that lush lawn sure does look great, but it helps with controlling floods as well. If there are areas of your yard without lawn coverage, hard rain will cause holes or divots within the soil. Water will collect in those holes causing floods in your yard. This will result in problems with the runoff causing possible floods in your neighborhood as well. No one wants to deal with that! A nice, even lawn will allow the water to seep into the ground and the runoff will slow. A slow runoff won’t carry soil or debris with it. That means, less flooding in your yard and neighborhood.

4.  Prevents Erosion from Wind and Water

This piggy backs off the prior benefit on flood control. Those holes in soil created by water can also be created by strong winds as well. Those divots can get larger and larger over time causing huge holes in your yard. Not only is that a concern for flooding like stated above, but it is also a safety and environmental concern. Grass keeps your soil in place. Without something to keep it in place, it will move. Avoid erosion by having a lush lawn, that way you’re safe from floods and holes!

5. Enjoying it

All those safety concerns, and increased value are great to keep in mind, but isn’t it nice to just be able to enjoy your lawn? Picture it: you walk outside and all you see is beautiful, green grass. You take in a deep breath and enjoy it. No worries, just a lush lawn! Isn’t that what life is all about? Enjoying the little things!
