EasyTurf to show eco-friendly turf at Greenbuild expo

November 11, 2013 - United States Of America

EasyTurf is scheduled to showcase their industry leading, environmentally friendly synthetic turf at the Greenbuild International Expo Nov. 20-21 in Philadelphia.

EasyTurf will unveil an interactive look at the ingenious engineering involved in the creation of their environmentally-friendly artificial grass and proprietary MaxxFlow backing, the permeability system that ensures maximum drainage. The EasyTurf artificial grass system can be largely engineered with recycled products, adding to the environmentally friendly nature of synthetic turf.

“EasyTurf has been an innovator of synthetic grass landscaping and has taken a leading role in educating consumers of our many benefits,” said Dave Hartman, EasyTurf President. “We’re excited to join the Greenbuild community professionals and present the diversity of EasyTurf and our ability to improve homes, businesses, and ultimately, quality of life, while at the same time, conserving our natural resources.”

Advancements in synthetic turf technology have increased the list of applications available to consumers. Lawns and putting greens are now just a fraction of EasyTurf's installations. The green roof industry has been growing aggressively since 2009, up about 115 percent thanks to companies and organizations like Green Roofs for Healthy Cities (GRHC), Cities Alive, EasyTurf, and the more than 425 accredited Green Roof Professionals (GRPs) in the market. EasyTurf is one of the most effective water conservation products available to green building industry professionals. EasyTurf is 100 percent recyclable, reduces carbon emissions, utilizes waste and preserves precious water resources.

“EasyTurf’s superior synthetic grass products are matched by a dedication to exceptional craftsmanship and customer service,” Hartman said. “Our commitment to excellence continues to attract homeowners and commercial businesses searching for functional, aesthetic improvements.”

World renowned dog whisperer, Cesar Millan recently introduced EasyTurf artificial grass as his turf-of-choice for pet owners. Millan says drainage was critical in his decision to partner with EasyTurf on the 10,000 sq. ft. installation of artificial grass at his Dog Psychology Center in Santa Clarita, Calif.

“We have a lot of land to cover, so it’s important to me that our landscaping is easy to care for, safe for our pack and has proper drainage,” said Millan. “Not only does Easy Turf look just like natural grass, it helps to eliminate common lawn problems associated with pets like brown spots from urine, tracked in mud, grass clippings and it can even deter your dog from digging holes.”

EasyTurf, the landscape division of FieldTurf, plays an important role in environmentally friendly lawns, recreational fields, playgrounds and energy conservation plans for communities throughout North America.
