LAGUNA, CA — The romantic and intimate Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa nestled along the California coast in the peaceful seaside community of Dana Pointe recently added some truly high tech elegance to enhance the functionality of its new event and reception area near the resort pool.
Over 6,500 square feet of luscious and realistic SYNLawn synthetic grass were installed in a new expansion area which hosts special events, romantic and intimate weddings and other types of activities. The Marriott chose SYNRye Premium 200 with its super lush, unbelievably soft 100% nylon fiber — the most durable and resilient fiber available for use in fake grass products.

Hanger 25 at the Bob Hope Airport was recently recognized with the Environmental Management Award for its distinction as the world first LEED Platinum certified aviation facility. Sustainable innovations that helped the facility earn the Platinum certification included artificial grass by SYNLawn where 6,500 square feet of SYNFescue Platinum 320 was installed as part of a drought tolerant landscape design. Other advances include a HI-FOG water-based fire suppression system, evaporative coolers and fans and a diamond polished concrete floor that reflects light.
“Hanger 25 sets a true example for aviation and other industries that sustainable construction can be good for the environment and a company’s bottom line with lower operations costs when implemented correctly,” said Andy Meyers, CEO of Shangri-La Construction who headed up the project.

Located in the desert region of the Mojave Desert, conserving water at Twentynine Palms is a must. The world’s largest Marine Corps base recently installed 12,000 square feet of state-of-the-art SYNLawn synthetic grass to help suppress water usage. The environmental impact continues to be tremendous - saving an average of 600,000 gallons of water per year. That’s enough to fill 20 large swimming pools!

In an effort to save water, the Los Angeles Metropolitan Water District (MWD) has approved a measure to give homeowners in drought-plagued Southern California a rebate for using synthetic turf. Lawn watering makes up 50 to 70 percent of the water used by homeowners. Las Vegas started offering rebates in 2002 and still continues to do so.
