Stories shared by landscapers across the country resonate with horror stories of the use of pesticides with general lawn maintenance putting dogs in the hospital due to your dog eating these fertilizers and pesticides for lunch. Even worse, many instances have led to death.

Studies conducted by epidemiologists have very strongly suggested a direct relationship of the development of Canine Malignant Lymphoma relating to exposure to these pesticides. Studies also show that fertilizers were one of the top 10 causes of pet poisoning in 2008.

Dozens of debates about why dogs eat grass in the first place are still out there. Several suggest dogs may be eating grass due to boredom, others suggest it may cleanse their system of toxins and other reports show that they may eat grass if their digestive tract or pancreas may be inflamed. No matter the reason, dogs will continue to eat grass even though it may be the root of their problems.

You need to be concerned. You also need to understand the price you pay in maintaining a beautiful and healthy lawn may just be compromising your dog’s health. So does that mean you give up having grass in your yard? Not necessarily. There are options out there to be aware of. Natural fertilizers that don’t have harmful chemicals and soluble fertilizers are definitely better for your pets and something to consider.

Artificial grass is another alternative you may want to consider that many pet owners don’t even think about as a solution. Synthetic lawns are an environmentally friendly solution that removes water and potentially dangerous chemicals used in maintaining your yard. Pet friendly synthetic grass is a good solution because the surface remains clean, mud free and requires very little maintenance to keep it looking good. And you surely don’t need any chemicals to do so. The material is made to drain at a rate of over 30 gallons per hour and because of special installation processes, odors are not an issue either. So your yard creates both a clean and safe environment for you and your pets.

Since the debate on why dogs eat grass is still just a debate, you may still want to keep a small area of grass that isn’t fertilized, where your dogs can still graze if they want to. But if you are concerned for health reasons, if you are concerned for environmental reasons, if you can’t keep your grass alive – fake grass just may be the solution.

Directed by Sam Raimi, Disney’s fantastical adventure imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum’s beloved wizard character. When a small-time circus magician is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, Oscar Diggs (played by James Franco) believes he’s hit the jackpot. That is, until he meets three witches, Theodora (played my Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams) who aren’t convinced he is the great wizard everyone is expecting.

Oscar must discover who is good and who is evil before it’s too late for the Land of Oz’s inhabitants. Putting his talents to use through ingenuity and illusion, Oscar transforms himself not only into the great wizard he wished to be, but as a better man as well.

For the last six years, their kitchen has consisted of a microwave, a hot plate, and a plastic table inside a water-damaged space.

HARLINGEN, TX — The city is working on the first of a series of beautification projects that began Monday with work on a traffic island on Commerce Street.

Workers are removing the the asphalt and will replace it with pavers and artificial grass, city engineer Javier Zamora said, describing it as a “demo project.”

Dan Serna, public works director, said the Commerce Street project is being done by SYNLawn to demonstrate what this kind of beautification can look like.

The island, long filled with asphalt and loose gravel, is getting a facelift courtesy of a company call SYNLawn. The company will replace the asphalt with artificial grass and pavers as the city of Harlingen begins a multimillion dollar effort to beautify various spots across the city.

SYNLawn, he said is doing the work at no charge to the city, but the city is spending $10,000 for pavers.

The company is spending $28,000 of its own money to remove the asphalt and install the artificial grass.

“They are providing us with an opportunity to look at the finished product, to see what the product is going to do for us,” Serna said, adding that a benefit of artificial grass is that no mowing or irrigation.

He said the entire beautification project will include several overpasses, traffic islands, and gateways into the community.

Zamora added that other projects will include the medians near Morgan Avenue and Business 77 and some areas near Expressway 83 and Harrison and Tyler avenues.

The entire beautification project will cost $6,346,620, for which Zamora said the city has applied for a $5,077,296 Transportation Enhance-ment Program grant from the Texas Department of Transportation.

Serna said if the city is awarded the grant, the state will administer solicit bids from companies, including SYNLawn, to do the work.

(PALM DESERT, California) – Dominic Nappi found a niche’ in the burgeoning trend toward installing synthetic backyard putting greens and synthetic residential landscape turf and founded Back Nine Greens, one of the country’s largest installers of synthetic putting green systems and synthetic landscape turf.

Since 1997, the Palm Desert company has established itself as the premier installation company for these types of projects.

Now, the company is announcing a new partnership with the world’s largest manufacturer of synthetic turf for putting greens and residential applications. SYNLawn is a Dalton, Georgia-based company, which is closely aligned with AstroTurf, the inventor of the synthetic turf industry.

“By working together with SYNLawn, this allows us to provide superior workmanship, extraordinary service, and professional integrity,” said Nappi. “Our goal was to partner with the largest and best manufacturer of synthetic turf and that led us to SYNLawn. SYNLawn’s reputation for innovation in the synthetic turf industry and excellence in production and manufacturing will enhance our business greatly.”

Nappi and his team came into the business on the leading edge of the trend and have continued to grow and expand. From small, three-hole backyard greens, to more expansive surfaces intended for serious golfers, their market continues to grow.

“This partnership allows us to feature our products in the installations of one of the world’s foremost experts in creating a realistic, high-performance putting green,” said George Neagle, Vice President of Sales and Marketing with SYNLawn. “Customers will have the SYNLawn product quality and components installed with the best craftsmanship.”
