Artificial turf is a long-lasting and practical solution for backyard spaces, especially in desert environments where natural grass struggles to survive. On average, high-quality artificial turf lasts between 15 and 20 years in a residential backyard when properly installed and maintained. At The Turf Shed (theturfsheddotcomdotau), modern turf products are designed to withstand intense sunlight, high temperatures, and daily use without losing their lush appearance. In desert climates, advanced UV-stabilized fibers help prevent fading and brittleness caused by constant sun exposure. Quality turf also features durable backing and strong stitching, allowing it to handle foot traffic, pets, and outdoor furniture. While artificial grass does not require watering, mowing, or fertilizing, simple care—such as rinsing off dust, brushing fibers upright, and removing debris—can significantly extend its lifespan. For homeowners who miss the vibrant green lawns of childhood, artificial turf offers a consistent, year-round solution. Even in harsh desert conditions, it stays green, soft, and inviting without the high water costs of natural grass. With the right product and professional installation, artificial turf can bring back that nostalgic green look while remaining cost-effective and environmentally responsible for many years to come.

One is not better than the other for the following reason. Is natural turf better than artificial turf? I'm using this question to frame my answer. An athlete will say natural turf; the owner of the team likes the maintenance of the artificial turf. Same goes with vinyl and wood siding. Although artificial turf and vinyl siding require some maintenance it is considerably less than the natural product, turf and wood. A balance between aesthetic and function needs to be addressed in each application of siding.
