California is the nation’s leader in green measures. When it comes to going green, SYNLawn Fresno’s clients are at the forefront of environmental knowledge and eco-friendly measures to conserve resources and protect the planet for future generations. This is how we know Fresno residents, of all people, understand the severity of the water crisis and the importance of using environmentally-friendly products in their everyday lives.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, more than seven billion gallons of water are used on a daily basis by North American residents for outdoor purposes, such as watering lawns, bushes, flowers, and potted plants. Not only that, but the U.S. Census Bureau reports homeowners spend roughly three hours every week on basic lawn upkeep. This data highlights the ongoing care and hard work that goes into keeping our prized front garden and backyard lawns looking immaculate all year long.
Myth: Artificial grass looks tacky.
Fact: Recent innovations in nylon grass fibers and durable backing allow SYNLawn Fresno to provide the most natural-looking grass possible. Homeowner’s associations across California are taking strides to allow use of synthetic grass both for its beauty and ease of care. In fact, a bill was recently approved by the state Assembly which would mandate acceptance of synthetic turf in neighborhoods. Use of artificial grass increases curb appeal and provides an attractive lush, green lawn year-round.
Myth: Artificial grass is wasteful.
Fact: SYNLawn artificial grass is produced with recycled materials and can be recycled if you decide to change your yard at any point. Our goal is to create the most durable material possible to prevent waste of materials caused by replacing grass, so we have worked hard to develop durable backing and lasting grass fibers so you can bring home a quality, eco-friendly product.
Myth: Artificial grass still requires water.
Fact: While it is true your new lawn can be hosed off to keep it clean, this is by no means a requirement. Artificial grass is not a living thing and thus does not require additional maintenance to ensure a lifetime of full, natural-looking grass. In fact, our synthetic lawns let you save money on your water bills while also making an eco-friendly effort to help the environment that benefits future generations.

Water conservation has become a significant concern all over the U.S., and city water authorities across the nation are starting to offer tax rebates when natural sod is replaced with synthetic grass. In cities like Modesto, San Jose, Clovis, Palo Alto, Visalia, and Fresno, SYNLawn’s artificial turf and synthetic lawn designers and installers offer an alternative for those living in Central California who do not want to waste time, money and the Earth’s dwindling resources just to have a perfect-looking lawn.

Myth: Artificial grass releases harmful chemicals into the environment.
Fact: Not only is artificial grass safe, but many types of engineered lawns are now designed with antimicrobial features and odor reduction. There is no need to use pesticides or fertilizers as there is with real grass, which keeps your children, pets and future generations safe from harmful chemicals. SYNLawn grass options also reduce carbon emissions and fuel consumption from lawn equipment. It might be time to rethink your views on “going green” – SYNLawn’s leadership in environmentally-friendly policies has taken the industry by storm.
