WASHINGTON TURFGRASS
Your lawn is an extension of your house! So if you venture outside on a hot day, which would you rather sit on: dirt, rocks, asphalt, or grass? The choice is simple. Turfgrass is a cooler, more affordable, and more therapeutic option for homes.
​
Not to mention, it looks nice.
Grass is cooling.
When the sun is on full-blast, surface air temperatures over lawns stay 10° to 14° Fahrenheit cooler than over asphalt or concrete.
​
A neighborhood of lawn-maintained homes also has a cooling effect that benefits all inhabitants. Eight average natural front lawns have an estimated cooling impact equal to 70 tons of air conditioning.
Grass is easier to enjoy.
Grass makes homes cozier and more inviting. It’s fun to play on, aesthetically pleasing, and pleasant to smell.
​
Dogs, pets, and humans prefer recreating on grass than other materials.
Grass protects your home.
Beyond the enjoyment of family and animals, grass benefits your home in other ways. Healthy, well-maintained turf grasses can act as fire retardants and firebreaks, offering significant protection during wildfire season.
Grass makes you happy!
Taking care of your grass can also be beneficial for your mental and physical well-being. The care of turfgrass and plants can have a positive, therapeutic effect and is included in many rehabilitation programs. These programs have been successfully used to treat certain illnesses, aid in the recovery of disabled people, and help the elderly stay mobile.
