Artificial Grass Lawns are Safer for Children and Pets

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Our children’s health and safety is the number one concern of parents and teachers everywhere.  Studies have shown that nearly 70% of all playground and sports-related injuries are the direct result of falling on hard and uneven surfaces.  Turf Direct’s synthetic turf fields and playgrounds are uniform and consistent helping to prevent many slips, trips and falls.  The shock-absorbing quality of our artificial turf play systems reduces the risk of head and body injuries when falls do occur.

Next to our children, our pets are the most beloved members of our families.  Turf Direct’s synthetic turf contains no organic materials that are food for many common insects and household pests such as fleas and tics.  As such, these pests will leave your lawn and pets alone.  Synthetic turf does not require any fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides or other chemical treatments that can be harmful to your pet.

Turf Direct’s synthetic turf pet systems have a unique drainage quality that makes it ideal for pet owners.  By eliminating the dirt and mud found in every natural lawn, synthetic turf keeps the dirt and mud off your pet and ultimately out of your house.  The porous nature of Turf Direct’s artificial turf allows pet urine to drain through to the ground beneath without staining the fibers and eliminating 80% of the odor.  Similarly, pet feces can be scooped as usual and the remainder washed off with a hose.

Here at Turf Direct we are an artificial grass supplier of lawns that provide peace of mind when it comes to the health and safety of your children and pets.

Synthetic Turf Lawns Save Money and Natural Resources

Friday, April 24th, 2009

It is estimated that as little as 1% of the Earth’s water is available for human consumption – a limited resource too valuable to waste.  The average metropolitan area uses over 1,700 gallons of water every day just to water lawns.  Excess watering not only drains the water supply.  Run off water from lawns often carries fertilizer and other harmful products back into the water supply.  It is also estimated that lawn and garden equipment users inadvertently spill 17 million gallons of fuel each year which also makes its way back into the ground water.

Conserving water is good for the environment and good for your wallet.  Turf Direct is based out of Arizona and we install Arizona artificial grass in place of real grass everyday. With AZ being one of the hottest states and mostly desert, we understand a little bit about the importance of conserving water. It is estimated that watering the lawn accounts for about 70% of the average household’s water bill every month.  Turf Direct’s synthetic lawns don’t require watering.  In addition to all of the savings provided by a maintenance-free synthetic lawn, you may even be eligible to get money back from your local water authority.  Water conservation has become such a major concern that many water authorities are offering tax rebates for every square foot of natural sod you replace with Turf Direct’s artificial grass.
