The Benefits of Lawn Care

We recognize that your yard is an extension of your home and that returning positive benefits to the environment is important. Did you know… The denser and healthier the grass, the better it can protect the environment. Grass minimizes erosion, absorbs rainwater, cleans the air and neutralizes pollutants and chemicals. Grass protects the soil from wind and water erosion. The roots knit the soil together preventing the movement of soil. A dense cover of grass reduces dust. Grasses in the U.S. trap as much as 12 million tons of dust and dirt a year. Grass helps reduce runoff and prevents soil erosion. The average 10,000 square-foot residential lawn in the U.S. can absorb more than 6,000 gallons of water from a rainfall event. Grasses and other plants can reduce noise levels by 20 – 30% compared to hard surfaces. Grasses take in carbon dioxide and break it down into oxygen and carbon. In fact, a 50' x 50' grass area will provide enough oxygen for a family of four, day after day. Grasses provide a substantial cooling effect to the environment. Eight average-sized lawns will have the cooling effect of 70 tons of air conditioning, compared to the average 4-ton home air conditioner.
