Colorado landscape turf vs sod

[Raymond Bachmann]

I'm looking to turn my primary residence into a rental when I move out. The previous owners did not take care of the landscape and it has been difficult bringing it back to life (front yard and back yard). I am curious on everyone's thoughts on whether it would be advantageous to use artificial turf instead of sod. It seems it would be more beneficial to go with turf as it it can cut down on water costs, maintain its appeal throughout the seasons, and with a warranty to maintain dog wear and tear. I don't see a tenant weeding and taking care of the lawn with as much care as I have tried even if it's in the tenant bylaws that they are responsible. All thoughts are welcome!

Thank you guys,

Ray
