Grass slows down and ABSORBS runoff compared to impervious urban services. It also FILTERS WATER of impurities and dust making it up to 10 times less acidic than water running off from a hard surface.

Grass IMPROVES AIR QUALITY by capturing dirt, smoke, and other pollutants.

Grass SUPPORTS BIO-DIVERSITY by providing habitats for birds and small mammals. Insects, spiders, and worms all live among the grass and below the surface, supporting wildlife.

Grass CONTROLS EROSION from both wind and water. Healthy grass stabilizes the soil with its roots, preventing the movement of soil. 

Grass REDUCES HEAT by  20-30 degrees. It can dissipate the heat island effect caused by concrete, asphalt and other hard surfaces.

Lawns CLEAN THE AIR, removing the carbon-dioxide from the atmosphere. Grass is the largest carbon eliminator in the US 

A 50' x 50' area of grass GENERATES OXYGEN, enough in fact to meet the needs of a family of 4.

 Grass REDUCES GLARE AND NOISE. It is non-reflective and absorbs sound, reducing noise levels by 20-30% more than hard surfaces
