Synthetic Grass In Ft. Lauderdale Homes Helps Address A Big State Concern



A story featured in a Broward County newspaper highlighted a revelation by one woman concerning common pesticides and herbicides used on grass in lawns, parks, and sports fields. It reported how a parks worker sprayed a play field with a thick round of herbicides while wearing a protective suit, goggles, and respirator to avoid.

Just as the worker finished spraying a large group of boys began using the field. When they emerged from play, they were covered head-to-toe with what they thought was water but was actually dangerous chemicals. The boys were scrubbed down by emergency crews to avoid further exposure and contracting any illness. This incident led a woman who had had a long history of multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS) to launch a successful political campaign regarding the way Florida property owners go about treating their grass chemically.

The resulting action included harsh chemical company fines, increased herbicide and pesticide prices, and steep financial penalties for businesses and residents using chemicals improperly. It also created a state fervor over the awareness of human chemical sensitivity and related diseases. Read more from this blog: http://bit.ly/2rZjQ57

Reasons Why Many Property Owners Are Opting For Environmentally Friendly Artificial Turf



What if you never have to worry about mowing your lawn again? Such is the appeal of the latest trend in landscaping called “enviroscaping.” Whether your property is residential or commercial makes no difference. Forget sprinkler systems and hiring someone to come to your property to help, and just think of the money you will save and how convenient it will be. Having artificial turf installed in your Ft. Lauderdale property is quickly becoming the best thing for vacation homeowners, residents, and commercial establishments with large lawns to maintain.

Why exactly are people opting for “fake grass”?

You Will Save Money With Artificial Grass

Most people hire someone to do their lawn work, which is an added cost. If you have artificial grass, then there is no need for any weedeating or tedious grass cutting. You will save money on your water bill, too. Natural grass becomes quite dry in the Florida sun, but you won’t need to worry about turning on those sprinklers to water fake grass. Your lawn will always look lush and green without the need for water. http://bit.ly/2rZ1mBq
