Artificial Grass Business Booming In North Texas!

Companies that manufacture or install artificial lawns are experiencing a boom in business, due to the drought-like conditions and watering restrictions in many North Texas cities.

But the synthetic lawns today aren't the same plastic AstroTurf made popular in the 1970s. The products on the market now, are not just used for putting greens and football fields either.

Tim Dvorak, owner of the company Synthetic Grass Pro, and gets calls every day from homeowners inquiring about artificial grass.

"I discussed this with many turf manufacturers, that's a big thing they notice. As soon as there are drought restrictions, watering restrictions, or an ordinance like the City of Dallas two-days a week restriction, it really just makes this industry explode," said Dvorak.

Today's synthetic lawns are made to stay cool underfoot, drain water well, and last for 10-15 years. The products come in different shades of green, different textures, and mimic different varieties of natural grass. Choosing artificial can be expensive upfront: prices range from $7.50 to $15 a square foot.

Many homeowners with artificial grass installed in their yards feel that the investment was worth it.

"The initial cost is expensive, but it's already paid for itself over the four years. Not having to re-sod it, not having to water. The yard guys[come less often]. So it's more than paid for itself," said Dvorak.

Many homeowners can be skeptical at the beginning, until they see the fake grass first-hand.

Not all cities in North Texas are on board with artificial grass, though.

Frisco does not allow artificial turf at this time, and many homeowners' associations have rules.

Highland Park passed an ordinance restricting artificial turf to back yards.

Other cities, however, have no rules in place limiting synthetic grass. Those cities include Dallas, Arlington, Denton, and University Park.

Global Syn-Turf Grand Opening in Southern California

We are pleased to announce the Grand Opening of our new location in Commerce, California.

As a manufacturer of the artificial grass in United States, we strive to bring our products closer to our customers. There is no secret in the industry that Global Syn-Turf, Inc. has the largest inventory in the country. Demand for high quality synthetic solutions for playing surfaces and landscapes has grown in many states in the last five years, but with a catastrophic drought that hit Californians again in 2008 and intensified in 2012, people start to realize the necessity of adapting and exploring new technologies that can help to conserve water.

While governor Jerry Brown is signing a 687 million-dollar drought-relief package to provide farm workers who have lost employment with needed housing, food and assistance, as consumers we have no time to hope for a better future. Instead, we need to become more conscious about realities of our environment.

Synthetic turf is not like an old-fashioned way to conserve water as, for example, rainwater collection, but according to statistics, between four to eight billion gallons of water were conserved in 2010 through the use of artificial grass.

Long and hot summer awaits Southern California this year. For many companies and home owners it is time to consider new ways to adapt resilient water management for long-term relief for a drought.

Visit us in our new location in Commerce, California. We have synthetic turf for any possible use you can imagine, commercial and residential, from sport and playground solutions to professional putting greens.
