INSTALLING SYNTHETIC TURF IS A POSITIVE MOVE FOR WATER CONSERVATION

Residential landscape irrigation is projected to use up to nearly 9 billion gallons of water daily.

In certain districts, outdoor water use can add up to 70 percent of Flagstaff residential property’s water consumption. Between 30,000 and 70,000 gallons of water each year is used 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 each year, or as much as $350 off the water bill, alone. Our residential lawn products are warrantied for 15 years, so over the life of the lawn, our customers save around $5,250 in water cost.

The normal cost of fertilizers and pesticides for residential areas in Flagstaff is $0.20 square foot per year. For a 1,000 square foot backyard, that leads to savings of $200 each year, or $3000 throughout the life of the lawn.


ELIMINATE WASTE AND TIME SPENT ON MAINTENANCE

The EPA believes that, on average, 33.2 million tons of yard trimmings were collected per year, the third-largest component of Municipal Solid Waste in landfills. The normal resident spends 150 hours per year keeping up the lawn. Synthetic grass eliminates that requirement.
