DID YOU KNOW A HEALTHY LAWN BENEFITS YOU AND THE ENVIROMENT?

AIR QUALITY: TURfGRASS IS A LIVING organism, EACH PLANT TAKES IN CARBON DIOXIDE CONVERTING IT INTO SIMPLE SUGARS TO USE AS FOOD THROUGH THE PROCESS OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS. AS A BYPRODUCT OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS OXYGEN IS RELEASED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. A TURFGRASS AREA MEASURING 2,500 SQUARE FEET PRODUCES ENOUGH OXyGEN FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR TO BREATHE. AN AVERAGE SIZED HEALTHY LAWN CAN CAPTURE AS MUCH AS 300 POUNDS OF CARBON PER YEAR.

STORMWATER & POLLUTION MANAGEMENT: LAWN AREAS REDUCE POLLUTANTS FROM LEACHING THROUGH THE SOIL INTO THE WATER SUPPLY OR FROM ENTERING SURFACE WATER RUNOFF. TURFGRASSES FILTER STORMWATER EXCESS AND REDUCE SENTIMENT, dusts AND POLLUTANTS FROM ENTERING WATER BODIES. TURFGRASS PLANTS ALSO REDIRECT THE FLOW OF WATER, SLOWING IT AND ALLOWING MORE WATER TO BE ABSORBED BY THE SOIL, WHICH AIDS IN PREVENTING SOIL EROSION AND FLOODING. THE AVERAGE SOCCER FIELD CAN ABSORB 50,000 GALLONS OF WATER BEFORE RUNOFF OCCURS AND THE FIBEROUS ROOT SYSTEM STABILIZES SOIL TO REDUCE EROSION AND RUN OFF. SCIENTIFIC STUDIES HAVE ALSO SHOWN THE REDUCTION IN NOISE POLLUTION FROM HEALTHY TURFGRASS. DID YOU KNOW A HEALTHY LAWN ABSORBS RAINFALL SIX TIMES MORE EFFECTIVELY THAN A WHEAT FIELD AND FOUR TIMES BETTER THAN A HAY FIELD?

ENVIROMENTAL COOLING: HEAT IS REDUCED BY TURFGRASS ON A HOT SUMMER DAY. A WELL MAINTAINED TURFGRASS AREA WILL BE AT LEAST 30 DEGREES COOLER THAN ASPHALT AND 14 DEGREES COOLER THAN BARE SOIL. THE OVERALL ENVIROMENTAL COOLING EFFECT OF TURFGRASS CAN BE UNDERSTOOD BY COMPARING IT TO AIR CONDITIONING. THE AVERAGE HOME HAS AN AIR CONDITIONER WITH A THREE TO FOUR TON CAPACITY. THE COOLING EFFECT OF AN AVERAGE SIZE LAWN IS EQUAL TO ABOUT NINE TONS OF AIR CONDITIONING. A SINGLE HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL FIELD PROVIDES UP TO 70 TONS OF AIR CONDITIONING.

WELLNESS & STRESS: GREEN SPACES HAVE SHOWN TO IMPROVE WELLNESS AND REDUCE STRESS. PLANTS LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE, REDUCE MUSCLE TENSION RELATED TO STRESS, IMPROVE ATTENTION AND REDUCE FEELINGS OF STRESS. PEOPLE AND EMPLOYEES WHO LIVE AND WORK IN AN ENVIROMENT WITH A VIEW OF LAWNS AND NATURE COMPARED TO AN URBAN VIEW WERE FOUND TO RECOVER FROM STRESS MORE QUICKLY, EXPERIENCE LESS JOB PRESSURE and PERFORM BETTER WITH INCREASED WORK PRODUCTIVITY THAN THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE A VIEW OR CAN ONLY SEE MANMADE OBJECTS.

RECREATION & SPORT: TURFGRASS IS USED EXTENSIVELY FOR RECREATION AND SPORT AS WELL AS PROVIDING PLACES WHERE ADULTS, KIDS AND PETS CAN SPEND TIME OUTSIDE THE HOME. RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES ALSO PROVIDE CHILDREN AND ADULTS QUALITY LEISURE TIME IN A POSITIVE AND SAFE ENVIROMENT.

COMMUNITY APPEAL: TURFGRASS AND GREEN SPACES INCREASE COMMUNITY APPEAL AND IMPROVE PROPERTY VALUES. A COST-EFFECTIVE WAY tO BOOST A HOMES CURB APPEAL IS BY ATTRACTIVELY LANDSCAPING THE YARD AND HAVING A WELL-MAINTAINED HEALTHY LAWN. GREEN SPACES CREATE CLOSE KNIT COMMUNITIES BY PROVIDING AREAS TO GATHER, SOCIALIZE AND GET TO KNOW EACH other THROUGH OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS.
