INSTALLING SYNTHETIC TURF IS A POSITIVE MOVE FOR WATER CONSERVATION

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

In some districts, outdoor water use can account for up to 70 percent of Asheville resident's water usage. Between 30,000 and 70,000 gallons of water each year is used to irrigate 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 annually, or as much as $350 off the water bill, itself. Our residential landscape products are warrantied for 15 years, so over the life of the lawn, a resident will save about $5,250 in water cost.

The mean cost of fertilizers and pesticides for residential areas in Asheville is $0.20 square foot annually. For a 1,000 square foot lawn, that leads to savings of $200 per year, or $3000 throughout the life of the lawn.


ELIMINATE WASTE AND TIME SPENT ON MAINTENANCE

The EPA believes that, on average, 33.2 million tons of yard waste were generated each year, the third-largest component of Municipal Solid Waste in landfills. The normal resident spends 150 hours per year caring for the lawn. Synthetic turf eliminates that need.
