Beautifying the city and making the cover

2009-12-03 17:45:28

Blondie’s Tree House, a renowned landscape and horticultural care company, was charged with the task of creating a peaceful, serene green space for the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York. The space is located on the 38th floor walk-out where it was to be used primarily for yoga and meditation. Faced with the challenge of bringing a touch of nature to a building 38 floors up led them to seek alternatives to natural grass. After searching online for artificial turf for rooftops, Blondie’s found SYNLawn. The inspiring result served as the backdrop on the November cover of Condé Nast Traveler magazine.

Working with SYNLawn of New York, Blondie’s Tree House developed mock-ups and tried various artificial grass types. After many meetings and experiments they chose SYNRye Premium 200 for its natural appearance to surround the elevated octagon deck area. The tan color in the thatch area (down in the roots) gave Blondie’s the subtle natural appearance they were seeking. Aside from its natural appearance, SYNRye was chosen for its durability. Made of 100% nylon fibers, the most durable yarn type in the textile industry, Blondie’s knew SYNLawn was the best choice.

]]>Form, function and durability was what they needed to achieve with the design goal. They achieved a lot more than they bargained. The space not only provides a space for peace and tranquility to practice yoga, it transformed the cold look of concrete and glass to a beautiful piece of nature overlooking the best city in the world.

“It beautified the place baby! It’s beautilicious!”, said one spokesperson from Blondie’s. If SYNLawn can do that for a skyscraper in New York City, imagine what it can do for your next landscaping challenge.

Putting green converts backyard to usable space

2009-11-25 20:30:30

Washington customer Bob had a problem. A problem with his backyard that he simply could not manage with traditional landscape solutions. After exploring several options Bob decided to consult with a design specialist at SYNLawn Northwest in Oregon. At last he found what he was looking for.

His backyard space consisted of a Sport Court basketball area surrounded by natural grass with severe slopes and multi-tiered areas. Basketball used to be the preferred form of recreation for his children, however as they grew older the basketball court received little use and became a bigger problem to maintain.

With frequent rain and maintenance difficulty Bob was battling erosion issues. The lawn area was hard to mow and even harder to keep it looking nice. Shade on the backside of the house made it nearly impossible for to grow grass consistently. Then there was mud. Frequent rains produced nothing but mud causing a slipping concern for the family. There had to be a better solution.

]]>There is a better solution. Bob worked with the design specialist to design the perfect backyard for his family. While the basketball court was nice, it was not being utilized by the family. Since the family shared a common interest in golf the natural solution was to convert the backyard into a golf practice area.

“Total solution,” are the words Bob used to describe the project. The installation consisted of a large artificial putting green using SYNGreen 110 with 5 strategically placed holes, a 2 foot fringe collar using SYNFringe Premium 210, and surrounded by SYNBermuda Premium in the lawn area. Beyond the artificial turf used for the installation, SYNLawn also put in 2 sand bunkers and low-voltage lighting to allow the family to maximize the use of their new backyard.

“I received incredible customer service and the product is top of the line,” Bob said, “I loved it right after is was installed. Now that we’ve used it for a few weeks, I love it more!”

A complete solution to backyard maintenance, converting unusable space to a recreational area for the entire family, and total customer satisfaction ... it doesn’t get any better than that for us.

RELEASE: SYNLawn® Empowers Consumers To Reduce Their Carbon Footprint

2009-11-12 11:51:30

Artificial grass innovator offers eco-friendly franchises to multiply environmental impact.

(Atlanta, Ga.) – SYNLawn®, the industry innovator on synthetic grass, empowers consumers to reduce their carbon footprint by completely eliminating the need to water lawns, use harmful fertilizers and pesticides, or operate gas powered lawn mowers that increase air pollution. Over the past five years, the amount of synthetic grass sold and installed by the company has conserved 4.7 billion gallons of water and prevented smog emissions equivalent to an automobile driving 1.1 million miles from entering the environment.

“As a company, SYNLawn is committed to helping the environment,” said George Neagle, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Our grass products are 100% recyclable. We are the first in the industry to use renewable resources and recycled materials in our manufacturing process. Now SYNLawn is registered to sell eco-friendly franchises in all 50 states to multiply our positive impact on the earth.“

]]>Key Achievements

By eliminating the need to water lawns, SYNLawn conserved more than 4.7 billion gallons of water since 2005 – the equivalent of filling over 23,000 swimming pools. The Southern Nevada Water Authority estimates that every square foot of natural grass replaced saves an additional 55 gallons of water per year.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a typical 3.5 horsepower gas mower emits the same amount of emissions in an hour as a new car driven 340 miles. Removing the need for these garden machines significantly decreases air pollution. SYNLawn has prevented smog emissions equivalent to an automobile driving 1.1 million miles from polluting the environment.
SYNLawn eradicates the need for millions of tons of harmful fertilizers and pesticides that can contaminate the water table. With escalating concerns about having quality drinking water, it is critical to prevent runoffs from lawn chemicals. According to the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, polluted stormwater runoff is the number one cause of water pollution in their state, with common examples including over fertilizing lawns and excessive pesticide use.
The company develops innovative, eco-friendly technologies, like its proprietary Enviroloc® backing system. The first component of Enviroloc® uses 10% less materials, lightening its weight. Secondary backing incorporates BioCel Technology, which uses an environmentally sensitive polyurethane that replaces a large portion of the petroleum-based polymers with soybean oil. These technologies help environmentally conscious builders and specifiers with LEED project certification.

Moving forward, SYNLawn plans to increase its positive impact by offering eco-friendly franchises to individuals that share the company’s environmental commitment. Many local governments are also supporting the growing demand for artificial grass by offering tax credits.

“SYNLawn has given consumers the power to go green by starting with their own lawns,” added Neagle. “We look forward to bringing our positive environmental practices to concerned homeowners and businesses on a larger scale through this unique franchise offering.’
