Coastal Enterprise - Lawn Maintenance

Environmental

Primary roles of turfgrass include soil stabilization, water conservation, and filtration of air and water borne pollutants.

Growing turf is highly effective in controlling environmental pollution by suppressing dust, glare, noise, and dissipating heat, especially in arid and semi-arid regions.

Turfgrass sod in urban areas and communities aids in the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and reduces energy consumption.

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 activities.
	Release oxygen and cool the air.
	Control pollution and reduce soil erosion.
	A well maintained lawn and landscape can enhance the "curb appeal" adding as much as 15 percent to the value of a home.
	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.
	On a hot summer day, lawns will be 30 degrees cooler than asphalt or rock and 14 degrees cooler than bare soil.
	Turfgrass acts as a natural filter, reducing pollution by purifying the water passing through its root zone.
	Turfgrass is the most cost-effective method for controlling wind and water erosion.
	A sodded lawn will absorb greater amounts of rain than a seeded lawn; even after three years of growth.
