Artificial turf-Back yard turf

Description

Lower maintenance costs Artificial turf requires no mowing, watering, fertilizing, or re-seeding. Regular maintenance involves brushing and occasional vacuuming using leased, rented or loaned equipment. The typical sand-based soccer/football field can use between 2.5 million and 3.5 million gallons of water per year in the Pacific Northwest. Coupled with reduced labor costs related to maintenance, equipment and eliminated costs for supplies such as fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides, several of our clients have seen a reduction in maintenance costs of as much as $*0, **0 to $*0, **0 per field, per year. Environmental friendliness Aside from the environmental advantages that come from lower water use, the removal of significant amounts of fertilizer and pesticides means less chance of contaminating groundwater, and safer field conditions for children, pets, and wildlife. In addition, synthetic turf is commonly made of recycled materials. Higher availability for use Barring local restrictions, synthetic turf is available to use *4 hours a day, seven days per week, **5 days per year. Artificial surfaces don’t become muddy in wet weather. They don’t need to lie fallow to allow recovery time from overuse. Studies of jurisdictions that have converted natural fields to synthetic turf suggest that field usage may be increased by a factor of three, with no reduction of field surface quality.
