Lawns help keep your homes cooler
- On a hot day stand in the garden and then stand on your lawn. You will notice the cooling effect of your lawn. It has been estimated that the cooling effect of an average size lawn is equal to about 9tons of air conditioning.
Lawns add oxygen to the atmosphere
Like any plant, grass absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen. The average size lawn absorbs carbon dioxide, capturing carbon and reducing our greatest greenhouse gas whilst producing enough oxygen for a family of 4.
Safer for your family
Athletic and playing fields covered with natural turf have proven to be safer than artificial turfs.
Cleaner runoff into our creeks and rivers
Lawn filters the pollutants from rainwater so that a cleaner form of water runs through into our creeks and rivers.
Keeps the top soil in place
Up to 90% of the weight of grass is in its roots making it very efficient in stabilising soil and preventing erosion.
Lawns clean the air that we breathe
Turf traps much of the estimated tons of dust and dirt released annually into the atmosphere.
