Schwarzenegger visits with SYNLawn

During his visit to the 2010 California Construction Expo in Pasadena, CA Governor Schwarzenegger stopped by SYNLawn's booth to take a closer look at the benefits of using artificial grass and learn how SYNLawn conserves water while saving money for home-owners and potential endeavors with City, State and Federal agencies seeking contractors, suppliers and consultants for future opportunities.

Seen here speaking with Albert Marrero, Jr, and Jon Young of SYNLawn Southern California (link), Governor Schwarzenegger continues to promote public works projects in an effort to jump-start the California construction industry.

"Great Love it," said Schwarzenegger, "Great product for the future of California to save water. Eventually we make golf courses of this stuff".

SYNLawn at the conservation forefront

As local municipalities, city and state governments look for cost-effective ways to go "green" and save money, SYNLawn artificial grass continues to emerge at the forefront of the conservation push. Officials of South Las Vegas city, Henderson, NV looked to SYNLawn to replace several of Henderson's parks and playground areas, converting them from hot rubber surfaces to a cooler, safe and more durable surface with SYNLawn's artificial grass playground products.

So far, two parks in the area (Whitney Ranch and Black Mountain) have been converted from the rubber surface to SYNLawn with a 3rd (Sun Ridge Park) scheduled to be completed this month.

Rusty Ferdinand, Parks and Facilities Coordinator says the rubberized material previously used in the Henderson city parks would split, crack, peel and fade in the extreme heat within a 5 year period. Replacing the old material with new rubber can be quite expensive, on average costing approximately $40,000 to $50,000 per playground. In comparison, SYNLawn's turf is cheaper, lasts longer, and is backed up with a manufacturer warranty ranging from 7 to 12 years depending on the product.
