Adam Boyer+FollowWhy fake grass on decks is a hidden hazardArtificial turf might look like an easy upgrade, but on a wooden deck, it’s a recipe for trouble. One New York renter found their deck soggy for days after rain, only to learn from the community that the turf traps moisture, leading to wood rot and even structural damage. Plus, fake grass sheds microplastics and contains PFAS—those 'forever chemicals' we keep hearing about. If you want a cozy outdoor space, experts suggest natural options like clover or native plants instead. Anyone else had turf troubles or found better eco-friendly alternatives? Let’s swap stories and ideas! #Home #HomeHacks #EcoFriendly00Share
