Utah Folks Choosing the Green of Synthetic Sod.

John Paystrup of Springville, Utah says he enjoys the view every morning when he looks out over his front yard. He likes to see the beautiful, green grass glistening with dew. Only it's not grass, and it's not dew. And that's fine with John.

Paystrup is one of a few folks in the Springville area who have recently discovered the benefits of AstroLawn®, a residential version of ersatz grass made by AstroTurf LLC. He enjoys its uniform look and appreciates the convenience, especially as he watches his neighbors have their lawns fertilized and aerated regularly.

Utah residents with AstroLawn® say it's a cut above the real thing, as it requires no mowing, no watering, no fertilizing, no weeding, no pesticides, no mud, offers easy drainage and isn't a fire hazard during dry months.

AstroLawn® lasts for 15 to 20 years, thanks in part to a special coating that protects it against ultraviolet rays. This makes AstroLawn® perfect for home lawns. This product is a result of decades of research and is similar to state-of-the-art products AstroTurf LLC. designs for premier athletic facilities. It consists of blades of green polyethylene attached to a black backing. Tiny black granules help the blades stand upright and provide excellent cushioning.

AstroLawn® users in desert climates like Utah can be proud of doing something environmentally friendly during a drought. And while the cost is more than a natural grass lawn, it's sure to save owners money in the long run, when you compare it to the costs of maintaining a natural grass lawn.

Brent Simpson, of AstroLawn® of Northern Utah, is the area's authorized dealer. He has 1,500 square feet of AstroLawn® in his front yard and plans to install 3,500 more in the back of his Springville home. Concerning the cost, Brent mentioned you shouldn't compare it to grass because it doesn't require the normal upkeep of grass.

John Paystrup has spent a lot of money in prior years on grubs, which are prominent in his area. Because of costs like these, he thinks AstroLawn® will be cost-effective over time. He certainly appreciates the no-hassle factor and considers that a big value. John looks forward to enjoying a green front yard view for years to come. AstroLawn® appears to have grown on him.
