Artificial Turf can increase the value of your home by $8,925

It has been reported that the grass used for landscaping purposes accounts for the majority of water consumption in every private household. Regular mowing, trimming, and blowing of lawns with the use of gas and electrically powered equipment contribute a lot to air pollution. Furthermore, cheaper inorganic fertilizers used to maintain the grass pollutes not only the soil but also contaminates the ground waters. Because of these issues, many towns and municipalities across the region are imposing limits on the size of the lawn per residential home in their respective areas. This made many homeowners use Glenwood artificial turf as an alternative. Artificial turf in Glenwood was first used in sports arenas where games typically played on grass are being held.

Artificial turf is significantly low in maintenance. It does not need watering or mowing, making it eco-friendly and cost-efficient in reducing water, gas, and electricity consumption.

Cook County Artificial Turf FAQ

There is no special maintenance needed. All you have to do is to remove any twigs or leaves lying on its surface. You may also need to smoothen any visible infill. You can just use the normal rake used in gardens to accomplish these tasks.
