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 daily.

In certain districts, outdoor water use can account for up to 70 percent of Toronto resident's water consumption. Between 30,000 and 70,000 gallons of water every year is used to irrigate a 1,000 square foot lawn.


AND IT WILL SAVE MONEY

For a 1,000 sq ft 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 throughout the life of the lawn, you can save approximately $5,250 in water cost.

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


ELIMINATE WASTE AND TIME SPENT ON MAINTENANCE

The EPA believes that, typically, 33.2 million tons of yard trimmings were built up annually, the third-largest division of Municipal Solid Waste in landfills. The ordinary resident spends 150 hours every year keeping up the lawn. Artificial turf eliminates that need.
