As property owners, we all want our yards to be as safe as possible.

Whether we’re worried about our kids, our other loved ones, or our neighbors, no property owner wants to have to worry about their yard being unsafe.

What makes a yard unsafe? No matter what the yard is made of under foot, it often boils down to poor upkeep. Weeds, mixed varieties of grass, roots, poison ivy—all these things can lead to injuries, tripping, or at least some bad itching.

When you choose artificial turf, you don’t have to lose sleep over any of these factors.

Many studies have been performed to see what makes sports fields safe or unsafe, and many of the same principles apply to your yard.

The biggest reasons that sports fields may be unsafe usually have to do with fields that are too hard (i.e. grass yards that have been used too much without being aerated regularly), fields that have too much friction or are too slippery (synthetic turf is specifically engineered to have neither issue), and the aforementioned weed and root overgrowth—obviously, not a problem with a yard that utilizes artificial turf.

What about the environment?

Using artificial turf is a very environmentally-friendly option to begin with. It both reduces your carbon footprint, as well as eliminates the need for the common but hazardous chemicals used in landscaping applications.

But when it comes to being better for the environment, ReTURF goes above and beyond.

By choosing used artificial turf, you’re helping to keep tons and tons of artificial turf from being needlessly packed into our nation’s landfills.

You’re also not contributing to the over 235 trillion gallons of water used annually for lawn irrigation—let alone those Summer water bills from running your sprinkler system (shudder).

Furthermore, you’re not using the fertilizer, lawn equipment (and fuel) that would likely otherwise be used just to maintain the grass in your yard.

All this, in addition to the cost savings, more natural appearance, and other benefits that choosing used artificial turf from ReTURF brings.
