A new generation of artificial turf is afoot

Let’s face it: artificial turf has taken a bad rap for a long time. At one time its tacky reputation may have been deserved. Today it’s a different story. Artificial turf bears little resemblance to that nasty stuff your father-in-law used to carpet his enclosed patio.

So why would anyone want to invest in a roll-out lawn? Let’s count just a few of the reasons you might want to consider:

Realistic Appearance: Would you like a lawn that looks great any time of year? Bring on the heat wave. No worries if the sprinkler system goes down. Weekly soccer practice can’t even put a dent in it.

True Low Maintenance: Get rid of your lawnmower, and fire the lawn crew. Never buy fertilizer again. Never worry about weeds and bald patches. Say goodbye to sprinkler system repairs.

Tenant and User Friendly: Eliminate that noisy weekly ritual of cutting the grass which disturbs tenants and neighbors and is a constant inconvenience to visitors.

Eco-Aware: Demonstrates your commitment to the environment. Fulfills the growing need of utility operators and municipalities to provide an earth-friendly example to customers and citizens.

Sound Investment: With a 20 year life expectancy, available rebates and rapid recapture of investment, artificial turf is a fiscally sound choice.

Utility Mandates: The LADWP is already enforcing mandatory conservation. Violators are subject to penalties.

Today’s tight budgets, persistent drought along with mandatory regulation might make for a perfect storm. Citizens, taxpayers, and businesses everywhere may soon come to realize that natural grass lawns are an indulgence we can no longer afford to entertain. Artificial turf is a practical and responsible choice that today makes more sense than ever before.
