Benefits Of A Healthy Lawn             

 

Our lawns are our private green space.  They give us places to play and relax; they showcase our gardens and frame our homes.  But lawns do a lot more.  Here are some things you might not know our lawns do for us.

 

Ø CLEAN OUR AIR:  About 12 million tons of dust and dirt are trapped by turfgrasses every year.

Ø KEEP US DRY:  Healthy lawns absorb lots of water, keeping our yeards from becoming muddy after a rainfall.

Ø KEEP OUR SPIRITS UP:  Studies at hospitals show that people heal more quickly when they can see a patch of green grass.

Ø PREVENT EROSION:  Because grass plants are 90% roots, they are efficient at preventing erosion.

Ø FILTER WATER:  Lawns filter runoff pollutants that could otherwise enter underwater aquifers.

Ø RAISE REAL ESTATE VALUES:  A healthy lawn and landscape can add about 15% to the value of a home.

Ø HELP US BREATHE:  Even a small lawn regularly releases enough oxygen for a family of four and absorbs carbon dioxide, ozone and hydrogen fluoride.

Ø COOL THE AIR:  Just eight average size lawns on a single city block will provide the same cooling effect as a 70 ton air conditioner.

Ø EASE ALLERGIES:  Grasses filter and absorb pollen as well as dust, trapping allergens that irritate many people.

Ø MINIMIZE FIRE DAMAGE:  Lawns can slow the spread of fire.
