Residential and Commercial Synthetic Grass Applications
Why Synthetic Lawns or Synthetic Grass ?
Synthetic Turf Installed in North America Conserves More Than Three Billion Gallons of Water, Eliminates Nearly a Billion Pounds of Pesticides and Fertilizers, and Recycles More Than 105 Million Used Tires Numerous Eco-friendly benefits empowers users to reduce their carbon footprint Schools, parks, businesses, municipalities, homeowners, golf courses and others using synthetic turf can receive Leadership in Energy and evironmental Design (LEED) credits for Water Efficient Landscaping from the U.S. Green Building Council. Many synthetic grass companies have also created products that are 100% recyclable. ‘Green’ options also exist for recycling, reusing and disposing of infill
and the synthetic turf itself. The industry is working hard to develop further eco-friendly end-of-life disposal solutions. Visit our WEB Site www.syntheticlawnsflorida.com to see more details of our products.
Conserves over three billion gallons of water. Water is one of our most precious resources. More than 6,000 synthetic turf fields are currently being used in the United States, with each full-sized field saving between 500,000 to 1,000,000 gallons plus of water each year. During 2010, that meant at least three billion gallons of water, and perhaps as much as six billion or more, was saved through the use of synthetic turf fields. Our Synthetic Grass eliminates the need to water lawns. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), over one-third of residential water is used for lawn irrigation nationwide, totaling more than 4 billion gallons of water a day. The Southern Nevada Water Authority also estimates that every square foot of grass replaced with synthetic turf saves an additional 55 gallons of water per year. Therefore, an average lawn of 1,800 square feet will save 99,000 gallons of water a year if landscaped with synthetic turf – about 70% of a homeowner’s water bill, or up to $500. Eradicates the use of almost a billion pounds of pesticides and fertilizers. The EPA has identified runoff of toxic pesticides and fertilizers as a principal cause of water pollution. In Florida alone, the EPA estimates that about 1,000 miles of rivers and streams, 350,000 acres of lakes and 900 square miles of estuaries are impaired by runoff of pesticides and fertilizers. Synthetic turf eliminates the need for nearly a billion pounds of harmful pesticides, fertilizers, fungicides and herbicides which are used to maintain grass. Depending on field usage, synthetic turf can lower consumption of energy, raw materials and solid waste generation. BASF Corporation performed an Eco-Efficiency Analysis measuring environmental and economical impacts of synthetic turf athletic fields with professionally installed and maintained grass alternatives. According to BASF, among the major findings of the study was that the average life cycle costs over 20 years of a natural grass field are 15 percent higher than the synthetic turf alternatives, even  when factoring in a replacement synthetic turf field during that time. Released in November 2010, the life cycle assessment found that with typical field usage, synthetic turf had a lower consumption of energy, raw materials and solid waste generation than natural grass fields. BASF’s eco-efficiency analysis is an award-winning and strategic tool, based on the ISO 14040 standard for lifecycle analysis, which quantifies the sustainability of products or processes. Great for Day Care and Children Centers, Sports Fields, (Baseball, Football, Soccer and General Sports Fields), Golf Courses, Driving Ranges and Landscaping (Residential and Commercial) Then please feel free to contact me so we can schedule a time to meet and discuss with you specific details of our products and how they can be beneficial to your business success.

ATLANTA, GA – With the New Year comes much attention to the number one resolution – get in shape and lose weight. Many fitness and wellness facilities are selecting synthetic grass for their weight training and workout rooms because of its resilience, durability, sound absorbing qualities, and good looks.
“While synthetic turf is typically identified with athletic fields or landscaping, many health clubs, wellness facilities, hospitals and senior living centers are beginning to use synthetic turf to enhance the safety and attractiveness of their facilities, and to make them more accessible to the disabled,” said Rick Doyle, President of the Synthetic Turf Council.
