Soaked shoes, muddy pets, and brown patches have long been accepted as the price of owning a Portland lawn. Today, however, more homeowners are replacing thirsty grass with durable synthetic grass. Search interest for “artificial turf Portland” climbs every rainy season, and CountBricks is leading the charge by pairing expert installation with AI-powered estimating tools.
Portland climate vs. natural grass: Our region’s wet winters and increasingly dry summers create extreme swings for traditional lawns. Artificial turf provides year-round curb appeal without relentless watering or reseeding.
Environmental benefits: Eliminating weekly mowing means fewer emissions. With irrigation systems switched off, a typical 1,000 sq ft yard can save more than 40,000 gallons of water annually.
Modern aesthetics: Today’s polyethylene fibers come in multi-tone blends and varying blade heights, mimicking fescue and rye mixes common in Pacific Northwest landscapes.
While many contractors still rely on manual takeoffs and guesswork, CountBricks uses voice-driven field capture and instant material databases to generate exact quantities before we even set foot on site.
