WHY? Synthetic turf has come along way. Increased user requirements and intense competition have given rise to a new generation of synthetic turf systems that simulate the look and playability of natural, green grass.

Proven benefits include:

• Increased playing time and safety – Synthetic turf can be utilized 3,000 hours per year with “no rest” required, more than 3 times that of natural grass. This results in increased practice and playtime as well as flexibility of using your field for other sports. Synthetic turf Is also made with resilient materials that make for a uniform and consistent playing surface. Therefore, traction, rotation and slip resistance, surface abrasion and stability meet the rigorous requirements of the most respected sports leagues and federations.

• Enhanced community accessibility – Kids of all ages can play sports year-round on safe and resilient sports surfaces. This in turn, promotes a healthy lifestyle, thereby decreasing childhood obesity. An increased number of public grounds, ranging from government offices, to highway medians to airport entrances are using synthetic turf to provide attractive landscaping options that requires minimal resources and maintenance.

• Environmentally friendly – The environmental impact of synthetic turf and artificial grass is significant. Each year more than 2.2 billion gallons of water are conserved nationwide by over 5,000 sports fields. Homeowners can conserve over 56,000 gallons per lawn by switching to synthetic turf. And since there was no need to fertilize grass or eliminate harmful insect infestations, fertilizers were also reduced by 1.25 million pounds with the use of synthetic turf. Using crumb material from used tires as field infill has afforded the opportunity to recycle 25 million auto tires per year that otherwise would end up in our landfills.

• Cost Effective – Synthetic turf is a cost-effective option over the long term. When you consider the expenses of watering and maintaining a grass playing field, that cost more than pays for itself over the lifetime of the surface. Field owners also do not have to pay field use fees should inclement weather affect their home field. Residential and commercial users can recover their costs within a few years by the decrease in water bills and lawn maintenance costs. Because synthetic turf is so durable, many schools can increase their revenue by renting their fields out to local sports teams and organizations. Also, with synthetic turf, the sports field maintenance budget is reduced, which frees up needed funds for other necessary sports equipment.
