INSTALLING SYNTHETIC TURF IS A POSITIVE MOVE FOR WATER CONSERVATION

Private landscape irrigation is estimated to end up using nearly 9 billion gallons of water per day.

In particular regions, outdoor water use can add up to 70 percent of Austin residential property’s water usage. Between 30,000 and 70,000 gallons of water every year is used to water a 1,000 square foot lawn.


AND IT WILL SAVE MONEY

For a 1,000 square foot project, this can mean a savings of 70,000 gallons per year, or up to $350 off the water bill, on its own. Our residential landscape products are warrantied for 15 years, so throughout the life of the lawn, you can save about $5,250 in water cost.

The normal cost of fertilizers and pesticides for residential properties in Austin is $0.20 square foot each year. For a 1,000 sq ft lawn, that leads to savings of $200 every year, or $3000 during the entire life of the lawn.


ELIMINATE WASTE AND TIME SPENT ON MAINTENANCE

The EPA forecasts that, on average, 33.2 million tons of yard trimmings were built up each year, the third-largest division of Municipal Solid Waste in landfills. The resident spends 150 hours each year maintaining the lawn. Synthetic grass eliminates that need.
