Turf type tall fescue has also become the choice for golf course roughs and non irrigated athletic fields. We offer both netted and non-netted Tall Fescue.--> Read More
Environmental Benefits of Turfgrass
Just one acre of grass can absorb hundreds of pounds of
fossil-fuel
created sulfur dioxide in a single year.
Lawn areas in the U.S. could store up to 37 billion pounds of carbon.
Grass is the most effective plant available for reconditioning the soil.
The grass and trees along our country's interstate system produce
enough oxygen to support 22 million people!
AIR QUALITY
In recent years progress seems to have been made in improving our air quality. But the levels of nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide and particulate matter in our atmosphere, primarily from the burning of carbon based fuels, are still a major concern.
CARBON RETENTION
Lush lawns throughout the U.S. turn out to be a "sink" for carbon dioxide, pulling the greenhouse gas out of the atmosphere as they grow. The effect is more pronounced when grass clippings are left to decompose in place, boosting growth by providing nitrogen.
NATURAL FERTILIZER & SOIL IMPROVEMENT
Your own lawn is the most natural and economical fertilizer available on the market today. Consider that every individual plant of Kentucky bluegrass produces about 3 feet of growth a year. The average lawn produces about 233 pounds of clippings every year for every 1,000 square feet of turf area. Leaving these clippings on the lawn and allowing them to decay and decompose in place is the equivalent of three applications of lawn fertilizer.
OXYGEN
Our air is cleansed by plants through the process of photosynthesis. Green plants take in carbon dioxide and water and use the energy from sunlight in photosynthesis, which produces carbohydrates for the plant to live off of and releases the true breath of life ... pure oxygen.
Why Sod?
Instantaneous beauty and immediate value with sod.
Within just a few hours, sod transforms bare soil into a lush and beautiful carpet of grass. Landscaping with turfgrass from a top quality sod farm in Pennsylvania immediately increases the market value of property from 10-15%!
Sod creates a healthy environment.
Sod cleans the air and helps recharge our groundwater supplies. Turfgrass is one of nature's finest and least expensive filters, and works to improve the environment.
Sod reduces heat, glare, and noise.
On a hot summer day, a lawn will be 30 degrees cooler than asphalt & 15 degrees cooler than bare soil. The front lawns of 8 homes have the cooling effect in hot weather of about 70 tons of air conditioning.
Our sod provides you with an Instant Lawn.
Sod will root down in about 10 days and can be ready for rough play within weeks. A seeded lawn cannot be used for months and will not stop the soil or seed from washing or blowing away. Sod can also be installed any time.
