The dream of a
perfect lawn, if that’s your goal in life, is easier than you think.
No watering. No
fertilizing. No mowing. No weeding.
Just sit back
and enjoy the sight of green grass — synthetic, that is.
SYNLawn, the
maker of residential synthetic grass, teams with Lowe’s to provide
the look of a perfect lawn for weekend warriors who want to be the
envy of their neighborhood.
The company
provides rolls of synthetic turf in the most popular sizes, along with
basic installation tools for customers who need smaller amounts of
turf and want to install it themselves, according to a press release.
SYNLawn has been
testing the program in some Lowe’s stores for a couple years, and
now offers it in 463 stores from South Carolina to California; it
should be in all stores within a couple years. Online, you can find it
in fescue, zoysia and Bermuda textures, as well as pre-cut putting
greens.
The new program
offers three pre-cut and pre-packaged sizes offering flexibility for
design. Those sizes are 3-by-11, 5-by-7 ˝ and 7 ˝-by-11 feet. These
pre-cut pieces of synthetic turf can be used for a variety of projects
ranging from landscaping areas, pet areas, play areas, common areas,
garages, basements, roof decks and outdoor patios. Costs for the stock
rolls range from $130 to $300.
The synthetic
turf comes with detailed installation instructions. Customers can also
scan the MS (Microsoft) Tag with their smart phone and download the
DIY video to assist with the self-install process. Lowe’s carries
all tools needed for the project.
The turf
eliminates mud tracking, is washable, non allergenic and comes with a
warranty whether you have it installed or do it yourself.
"SYNLawn
turf products save millions of gallons of water each year, reduce
carbon emissions and fuel consumption from lawn equipment, and keep
fertilizers and pesticides away from pets and out of the ground water
supply," says George Neagle, vice president of sales and
marketing for SYNLawn.
The uses are
only limited by the imagination of the customer."
SYNLawn products
have replaced petroleum-based polyurethane with soybean oils in the
manufacturing process, utilize secondary backing materials made from
recycled plastic bottles, and are 100 percent recyclable. A special
Bottleback technology is being used for this program and is part of
the Yellowstone Project. The project was created to reclaim and
recycle all PET-based plastic bottles from the park and use them in
backing for synthetic turf and carpet, according to the lawn company.
