A Healthy Lawn is Good for the Environment



A healthy lawn not only looks attractive and provides a focal point for your garden; it also offers a multitude of wonderful advantages for health and the environment. How?

1. Airborne pollutants like dust and spores are absorbed and therefore prevented from irritating the respiratory systems and skin of those that suffer from asthma, eczema and allergies.

2. Grass converts carbon dioxide to oxygen, cleanses the air that we breathe and helps to lower the effects of global warming.

3. A lawn filters pollutants from rainwater so that the water that runs into the soil and down through the water cycle into our lakes and seas is cleaner.

4. A lawn prevents soil erosion by preventing soil from being washed away or broken down. This means it will continue to provide a breeding ground for plants and insect life, and in turn a haven for birds and wildlife.

Your garden could help towards making a global impact so make sure your grass is well fed and maintained. Choose a trusted supplier for your turf, grass and topsoil and lawn maintenance products and take advantage of their wealth of knowledge and advice.
