Some of the biggest culprits of water consumption are golf courses, commercial landscaping, parks, and even residential lawns. A typical 18-hole golf course utilizing natural grass on both the fairways and putting greens may require as much as a million gallons of water a day during the summer! Much of that water has been drenched with chemicals due to pesticides and leaches into the soil and drains into ponds and lakes. Synthetic turf requires no fertilizer, no pesticides, no mowing and reduces urban runoff caused by irrigation. It also cuts down on the amount of green waste, like lawn clippings, going into local landfills. With more than 185 golf courses in the metropolitan Phoenix area (source: PhoenixGolfSource.com) that is an incredible amount of water and grass! Perhaps, at some point in the near future, commercial golf courses may fully embrace the rapidly improving technology and advantages associated with artificial turf, but at the current time the USGA has no official policy on artificial grass turf.
Synthetic turf is an attractive, environmentally sensitive and easy-to-maintain alternative to traditional landscaping. The Arizona Turf Store is an artificial grass supplier that offers a wide variety of do it yourself products and uses only the highest quality materials. Our artificial grass turf and wholesale products are the best synthetic products at the lowest prices. ~The Arizona Turf Store

Buyer Beware: Do Not Buy Turf Based on Total Weight! Demand Face Weight.Face weight is the weight of an area of turf blades only that is 3' X 3' or 9 square feet. Many companies when quoting face weights will include the weight of the backing, which is not the correct way to measure face weight. Face weight is a measure (weight) of the thickness and fullness of the turf. Companies that include total weight with backing for comparison purposes are being deceptive. Southwest Greens will only quote face weights without the backing! Face weight is the weight of the turf in ounces, and more weight can mean a thicker and fuller lawn, BUT it doesn't necessarily mean the turf will have increased longevity. When asking for face weight comparisons, make sure it does not include the backing. A higher face weight will mean a higher quality, longer lasting turf. If Golf is Your Game ...
