We cater to Boston!

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Boston, is the 23rd highest populated city within the United States. It’s the seat of Suffolk County and full of history,ranging from the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party and the Siege of Boston.

Boston is also home to the Boston Red Sox baseball team and Fenway Park, built in 1912. (Fenway Park is the oldest, professional baseball stadium still currently in use.)

Interesting to note:  Prevalent within the city of Boston is signature triple-storey homes, over a century old.

Those that have lived in Boston for quite some time (perhaps a generation or more) would have noticed how increased pollution levels and climate change have affected their prior green lawns. Artificial grass will solve the problem to yellow, undernourished lawns and greens present in the city today.

Dealing with The Problem of Soil Contamination in the City of Boston

Boston have had many serious issues with soil contamination over the years, especially in regards to maintaining its 175+ community gardens. Thousands of dollars are spent annually by the city to add more gardens and renovate existing ones.

Studies conducted on patches of garden soil in the inner-city in the 1980’s indicated contamination and pollution of zinc, copper, nickel, cadmium, and most importantly, lead.

The issue:  Soil contamination affects lawns and greens, and the overall health of grass.

Lead Contamination

Lead pollution is mostly due to paints used in the past. This issue arose due to those old signature houses we mentioned earlier, which were painted with it. The problem is further worsened by gardeners using lead-arsenate pesticides, despite restrictions.

To improve the quality of Boston’s soil, the EPS put down guidelines in regards to safe urban gardening. Essentially since the risk of lead contamination affects children who love putting dirty fingers in their mouths, after playing on lawns and in playgrounds.

(EPA regulations state the hazard standard for children’s playgrounds and schoolyards is 400 ppm of lead.)

Why Choose a Synthetic Lawn

The installation of synthetic turf at home gives one the peace of mind that the kids and pets are safe, and playing in a 100% lead-free environment. (Artificial grass is environmentally friendly, and doesn’t require poisonous insecticides.)

Cost effective

  • There is no need to bring in fresh soil to make fake grass thrive if your soil is contaminated. Nor does one have to purchase expensive fertilizers in an attempt to neutralize affected soil. Actually, there is no maintenance required for a synthetic lawn – no mowing and no watering.
  • Water savings occur with the ability to claim water rebates. Save more as fertilizers, insecticides, and gardening services are not necessary.
  • Aesthetic Value:  Artificial grass looks just as amazing as the sports field turf at Fenway Park, or the putting greens of any golf estate.

Dealing with Boston’s Climate and Its Effect on Grass

According to ‘Best Places’, Boston experiences 200 sunny days yearly, with temperatures during the height of summer, (July) peaking at 82˚. This makes for amazing outdoor recreational activities, such as a barbecue with friends and family.

In addition, Boston is above average when it comes to rain and snowfall, experiencing 79 days of rain yearly, measuring 49 inches. (10 inches more than the national average.) Snowfall measures in at 52 inches, while the rest of the country only has 26 inches.

Snow and too much rain spell trouble for any landscape turf. Your lawn will die when covered by too much snow, and when it melts, there is excess water everywhere. (The same applies to rain.)

  • Fake grass has no roots, therefore rotting that causes fungus and insects are of no concern.
