Green Grass is Good for the environment

Did you know a yard with healthy grass is more than a place for children to play and friends to gather for a Sunday barbecue? Grass helps to cool the environment, reduces carbon in the air around you and controls erosion. Turf offers benefits that can’t be duplicated by the equivalent in shrubs and flower beds.

GRASS IS:

NATURE’S AIR CONDITIONER

On a hot day, lawns will be 30 degrees cooler than asphalt and 14 degrees cooler than bare soil. The front lawns of eight houses have the cooling effect of about 70 tons of air conditioning.

A WATER FILTER

Turf lawns reduce stormwater runoff by purifying water passing through its root zone.

A NOISE REDUCER

By absorbing and deflecting sounds, life’s a little quieter with a lawn. AN

ALLERGEN TRAP

Dust and seasonal pollens that cause allergies first have to get through your grass to get to you.

GREAT FOR THE PLANET

2,500 square feet of lawn absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and releases enough oxygen daily for a family of four to survive.
