So what type of grass is best for you?

Turfgrass

• a continuing source of oxygen and cool air
• a cleansing answer to our environment
• a source of beauty and comfort

Benefits of grass:

• Stops soil erosion
• Turfgrass acts as a natural filter, reducing pollution by purifying the water passing through its root zone
• Turfgrass traps and removes dust and dirt from the air.
• 2,500 square feet of lawn absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and release enough oxygen for a family of four to breathe.

The U.S. Congress has acknowledged these positive benefits to our environment:

"Turfgrass sod in urban areas and communities can aid in the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, mitigating the heat island effect, reducing energy consumption and contributing to efforts to reduce global warming trends."

Scientific research has documented the many benefits of turfgrass to our environment. Our turfgrass lawns, parks and open areas:

• Provide a natural, comfortable, and safe setting for fun and games.
• Release oxygen and cool the air.
• Control pollution and reduce soil erosion.
• Purify and replenish our water supply
