5 Reasons to Consider Synthetic Turf for Your Landscape Projects

by Paula Korinko of Synthetic Lawns & Golf, Inc./SYNLawn New Jersey

When you’re planning your next landscaping project, there are several reasons why you should opt for synthetic turf instead of real turf. As an industry professional and authorized supplier of SYNLawn, I have collaborated with landscaping contractors on many custom projects over the years that have benefited from the use of artificial grass, and these product offerings are the best choice for contractors looking to save on money, resources, utilities and maintenance costs. Below are the top five reasons you to consider using synthetic turf like SYNLawn:

1. Aesthetic Value: Your landscape designs for clients will look perfect year-round. The quality of these products is first-rate, so it has the same look and feel as real grass without the hassle of regular maintenance. It will stay green and looking perfect no matter the season or weather conditions.

2. Superior Technology for the Cleanest and Safest Turf: Super Yarn™ technology offered in many of the product offerings is the most advanced artificial grass fiber produced and presented to the market. This innovative technology offers unique additives including Sanitized® Antimicrobial, which eliminates bacterial odors and prevents microbial growth; DualChill® IR Reflective, which reduces infrared reflectivity that can break down fibers; and StatBlock® Anti-Static, a new carbon-based anti-static ingredient that is molecularly bound into the face fiber to inhibit the buildup of static electricity. Additionally, some products offer ASTM Certified E108 Class A Fire-Rated with Heat- Block™ and UV protection.

3. Sustainable Turf Options: Several of the products now have Certified Biobased Product labels from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA.) The products use bio-based ingredients like soy and sugarcane, so the turf is sustainable and environmentally friendly. Not only will this be an attractive benefit to your clients, but it will also help them conserve more water since artificial turf requires no need for a sprinkler system.

4. Long-lasting Life Expectancy: With unmatched lifetime warranties and superior durability, your clients can expect their turf installations to last a long time, which will help save them money in the long run.

5. Made in the USA: This brand of artificial turf is manufactured in Dalton, Georgia, so you’ll be supporting an American business.
