Synthetic Turf, Drought, and the Modern Lawn

What are the current drought conditions in the United States and how do they affect traditional lawns?

The United States is currently experiencing what is considered the most intense drought in history. As per the Palmer Drought Index of May 2018, about 20% of the contiguous United States is under severe to extreme drought conditions. These conditions render traditional lawns, which require regular watering, increasingly unsustainable. The need for constant watering makes traditional lawns seem like a luxury, especially when water is becoming a scarce resource.

How does synthetic turf from Rubber Mulch present a solution for lawns in drought conditions?

Rubber Mulch's Synthetic Turf Roll offers an innovative solution for maintaining green outdoor spaces in the face of severe droughts. It eliminates the need for watering, mowing, and resodding, making it an ideal alternative to traditional grass lawns. This synthetic turf is not only nearly indistinguishable from natural grass in appearance but also requires minimal upkeep, thereby conserving water and reducing maintenance efforts.

Can you detail the appearance and benefits of the synthetic turf? 

The synthetic turf closely mimics the appearance of natural grass with its blend of green and yellow thatch, alongside field and olive green yarn. This resemblance offers the aesthetic and comfort of a verdant lawn without the environmental impact of maintaining a traditional grass lawn. The color green is associated with relaxation and rejuvenation, which is particularly beneficial for those spending long hours in front of screens.

What makes the synthetic turf from Rubber Mulch durable and long-lasting? 

Rubber Mulch's synthetic turf boasts exceptional durability, underscored by a generous 10-year warranty. It is constructed using high-quality PE Mono & PE thatch, reinforced with double PP and an additional PU layer. This composition ensures that the turf can withstand various weather conditions, guaranteeing its longevity and making it a worthwhile long-term investment for landscaping.

How versatile is synthetic turf in its application? 

The versatility of synthetic turf is one of its key advantages. It can be applied in various settings, ranging from residential front yards to large public parks and playgrounds. Its ability to maintain its appearance and functionality in severe drought conditions means that landscapes can remain beautiful and sustainable, without the need for extensive water usage. This adaptability makes synthetic turf a suitable option for a wide range of landscaping needs.
