Benefits of REAL Turfgrass!
Feb 4th, 2022
A nice green lawn or... is it Something More?
Everyone can appreciate a beautiful green lawn right!?
Question though- how many folks are aware of the many benefits lawns provide in the landscape around us?
For example- trees are given a lot of credit for there carbon capture and oxygen production capabilities.
For good reason - Trees are great indeed!
But when you look a bit closer at the details - 81% to 90% of the carbon captured in the landscape is actually captured by the lawn.
Oxygen? A 5000 sq ft grass lawn can produce enough fresh oxygen daily for up to 34 people!!
Just a quick reminder- your lawn does a heck of a lot more than hang out and look good :)
