INSTALLING SYNTHETIC TURF IS A POSITIVE MOVE FOR WATER CONSERVATION

Residential landscape irrigation is estimated to end up using nearly 9 billion gallons of water daily.

In some regions, outdoor water use can account for up to 70 percent of Edmonton resident's water usage. Between 30,000 and 70,000 gallons of water per year is consumed to water a 1,000 square foot lawn.


AND IT WILL SAVE MONEY

For a 1,000 sq ft job, this can mean a savings of 70,000 gallons annually, or as much as $350 off the water bill, on its own. Our residential landscape products are warrantied for 15 years, so during the entire life of the lawn, a resident will save about $5,250 in water cost.

The mean cost of fertilizers and pesticides for residential spaces in Edmonton is $0.20 square foot every year. For a 1,000 square foot backyard, that equates to savings of $200 per year, or $3000 throughout the life of the lawn.


ELIMINATE WASTE AND TIME SPENT ON MAINTENANCE

The EPA forecasts that, generally, 33.2 million tons of yard trimmings were generated every year, the third-largest component of Municipal Solid Waste in landfills. The ordinary resident spends 150 hours each year keeping up the lawn. Synthetic turf eliminates that need.
