The Benefits of Synthetic Grass:

Among the many benefits synthetic grass has to offer, here are some of the most important environmental and economic considerations for you to make your yard a synthetic grass yard:

Conserve water: Due to local government policy changes to mitigate climate change, many cities and municipalities are increasing water restrictions and raising water rates in residential and commercial areas. Synthetic grass conserves approximately 40 gallons of water per square foot per year through reduced water used in household irrigation systems.

Save time and money: When you choose synthetic grass for your home, cottage, or business, you not only save thousands of dollars in maintenance over the years, but you also save valuable time to spend with your family and friends, not mowing your lawn.

Reduce air pollution: In Canada, gas-powered lawn equipment uses up to 151 million litres of gasoline every year. In Quebec alone, two-thirds of households have a lawn and 70% of those use gas lawnmowers that emit significant amounts of polluting gases, including hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds. According to the Government of Canada, a gasoline powered lawn mower emits about 48 kilograms (106 lbs) of greenhouse gases in one season. the average riding mower emits the same amount of carbon emissions and pollutants in one hour as 34 cars.

Low maintenance: Forget the mower, line-trimmer and dandelion fork! Synthetic grass requires minimal maintenance to maintain a beautiful ever-green yard. Just an occasional brush up, water spray and sanitary cleanup for animals helps to maintain your beautiful always green grass.

Reduce Non-point source pollution:  Tens of millions of pounds of toxic fertilizers, herbicides and lawn pesticides are released into local water supplies each year through runoff from urban and suburban areas into rivers and streams and large bodies of water such as the Great Lakes. Across Canada increasingly strict legislation to limit the use of pesticides and herbicides for cosmetic purposes is being introduced to improve local water quality. Pollutant run-off into the ground water and eventually the drinking water supply is a problem that artificial grass can help solve by eliminating the use of toxic chemicals for lawns. All our synthetic grass products are safe and non-toxic!

Reduce Groundwater contamination:   Overuse of water can decrease the amount of groundwater that is available for humans and wildlife. In addition, decreasing amounts of groundwater increases the likelihood for salt water to enter the groundwater system, affecting the purity of drinking water.

Maintain a beautiful looking yard all year long: Never worry about brown patches and seasonal changes that require expensive treatments. Our synthetic grass is equipped with U.V. inhibitors that prevent your grass from fading. Our grass has a tuft bind which makes it very durable and able to handle the harshest weather extremes anywhere in Canada.
