Benefits of a Healthy Lawn
-
Climate is controlled at ground level by turfgrasses as they cool temperatures appreciably, thus working as exterior “air conditioners.” -
Eight healthy front lawns have the same cooling effect as 70 tons of air conditioning – enough for 16 average homes.
-
Dust and smoke particles from the atmosphere are trapped by turf, which helps make the air cleaner.
-
Groundwater is enhanced in two ways by a dense turf. Turf grasses increase infiltration of water and also clean the water as it passes so that underground supplies are recharged for use.
-
Health of humans is enhanced by turf grasses, which function in cushioning, cleaning air, generating oxygen and creating a serene landscape.
-
Noise is absorbed by grass areas, which cut down on the excessive sound.
-
Oxygen generation by turfgrasses has a major impact in making our environment habitable. A 50 x 50-foot lawn produces enough oxygen for a family of four.
