CELEBRATING THE BENEFITS OF HEALTHY LAWNS


LAWNS AND LANDSCAPES BENEFITS YOUR CUSTOMERS’ LIVES MORE THAN THEY THINK. HERE ARE SOME SURPRISING BENEFITS THEY PROVIDE.


AIR PURIFIERS Grasses and plants capture dust, smoke particles and other pollut- ants, making our air cleaner. In fact, lawns alone capture more than 12 million tons of dust, according


to the Georgia Turfgrass Foundation.


NIX NOISE Lawns and plants can reduce noise levels by 20 to 30 percent over hard surfaces like concrete and pavement.


NATURE’S SPONGES A healthy lawn can absorb more than 6,000 gallons of water from a single rainfall event, ab- sorbing runoff and filtering water from pollutants, per the Journal


of Environmental Quality.


BREATHE EASY Grasses absorb carbon dioxide and break it down into oxygen and carbon. In fact, a 50-foot-by-50-foot lawn produces enough oxygen for a family of four.


STRENGTH IN NUMBERS A thriving grass plant under ideal conditions can pro-


duce the equivalent of nearly 300 miles of roots. The Maryland Institute of Applied Agri- culture says extensive root systems on healthy grass plants hold soil in place and grass blades protect topsoil against eroding wind and rain.


COOL, CALM & COLLECTED Lawns can be 31 degrees cooler than asphalt and 20 degrees cooler than bare soil. Trees shading homes can reduce attic temperatures by as much as 40 degrees. These natural coolants reduce the need for electric cooling units, saving energy and reducing electric bills.


STRESS SOLUTIONS Research shows people find stress relief and healing when interacting with nature or even just viewing nature through


a window, NatureSacred.org reports.
