INSTALLING SYNTHETIC TURF IS A POSITIVE MOVE FOR WATER CONSERVATION
Private landscape irrigation is approximated to end up using nearly 9 billion gallons of water daily.
In particular regions, outdoor water use can account for up to 70 percent of Pittsburgh resident's water consumption. Between 30,000 and 70,000 gallons of water each 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 each year, or up to $350 off the water bill, alone. Our residential landscape products are warrantied for 15 years, so throughout the life of the lawn, you can save approximately $5,250 in water cost.
The average cost of fertilizers and pesticides for residential properties in Pittsburgh is $0.20 square foot every year. For a 1,000 square foot backyard, that results in savings of $200 annually, or $3000 during the entire life of the lawn.
ELIMINATE WASTE AND TIME SPENT ON MAINTENANCE
The EPA estimates that, generally, 33.2 million tons of yard waste were generated per year, the third-largest part of Municipal Solid Waste in landfills. The average resident spends 150 hours per year keeping up the lawn. Synthetic turf eliminates that need.
DO MORE WITH LESS
Synthetic turf enables you to add more value to your home. Turn your space into a welcoming place. You will be able to do more in the same space with artificial turf than you can do with the real thing.
