Ten good reasons to have a quality lawn

Lawns reduce storm water run off and control soil erosion. A lawn also assists the decomposition of pollutants and helps restore soil quality.
Standing on grass can reduce stress
In experiments it has been shown that standing barefoot on grass can trigger a reduction in the signs of stress. Heart rate and blood pressure have been shown to fall as has electrical skin resistance showing a reduction in stress levels.
A lawn is an oxygen machine
A lawn 250 square metres in size can absorb carbon dioxide from the air and produce enough oxygen for a family of four to breathe.
A lawn will draw pollutants from the air, increasing the carbon benefit.
The only choice for fun, enjoyment and reward
Not only is a grass surface one of the lowest cost surfaces for you and your family to enjoy it is one of the safest. It needs no explaining the difference between taking a fall on grass compared to a tarmac or stone surface. Looking after and maintaining a beautiful lawn is also a rewarding experience and past time. The results speak for themselves and are there for all to see, from friends and neighbours to you and your family.
A self cleaning surface
A lawn can actually clean itself by taking in garden debris and organic matter. When was the last time you saw the neighbours washing down the lawn?
The smell of freshly cut grass
Time and time again the smell of freshly cut grass in spring tops the lists of the most pleasant and comforting smells.
Adding value to a property
It is known that a well maintained lawn and landscaped garden significantly adds roadside appeal and value to a property.
Natures filter
Not only does a lawn trap and filter dust and dirt from the air it also can reduce pollution by purifying the water passing through its root zone.
We are programmed to enjoy it
It is believed that standing barefoot on grass is a multi-sensory experience. It triggers deeply rooted associations with the smell and sound of nature and the vision of dense greenery. These associations are probably evolutionary and are hard-wired into our nervous systems.
It's cool
Another benefit that everyone can enjoy from a lawn is its tremendous cooling effect. On a hot summers day a lawns surface can be at least 30 degrees cooler than that of tarmac.
