Methodology

Water-use figures are based on average residential irrigation in Cobb County for the May-October growing season, applied to a representative 1,500 sq ft residential lawn. Municipal water rates reflect 2026 Georgia metro-Atlanta tiered pricing (~$8.50 per 1,000 gallons in summer tiers).

Sod-replacement cycle estimates come from LawnLogic's installation records and customer-interview data across Cobb County homes between 2024 and 2026. Acworth's 78 days above 90°F annually and cobb clay with lake-influenced moisture levels near waterfront properties drive an above-average sod replacement cadence.

Turf-install cost reflects LawnLogic's median 1,500 sq ft residential project price. All figures are conservative — high-water users and luxury sod replacement bills run higher.
