(KELOWNA, BC) – Canadian residents now have the ability to find SYNLawn DIY products a little closer to home, thanks to the recent expansion that will include 35 Lowe’s stores across Canada.

The new program offering is a result of continued success of the program that is now in over 1,000 stores around the United States. SYNLawn will provide Special Order products available in stores by selecting the product that works best for the homeowner’s project. Pre-cut rolls of synthetic turf are also available for homeowners wishing to purchase their grass and start their project immediately with no waiting.

Having SYNLawn available in Lowe’s stores throughout Canada means that homeowners can find everything they need in one place. With three different synthetic grass styles and one putting green product to choose from, customers can decide which one best suits their needs based on usage of the area and their budget. In addition, Lowe’s provides direct access to DIY installation accessories, tools and maintenance items for a complete and worry-free installation.

To aid homeowners with a basic synthetic grass installation, SYNLawn has provided several handy tools that detail each step of the process with video support and installation guides to take out the guess-work.

Dalton, GA — SYNLawn SYNBermuda Premium 200 and SYNRye Premium 250 have received the coveted Class One fire rating (ASTM E 648) offering increased safety when artificial grass is installed on playgrounds or other fire sensitive applications. SYNBermuda Premium 200 and SYNRye Premium 250 are now the ONLY infill-free artificial lawn products deemed to be “fire safe” for installations in both outdoor and indoor settings. Other companies must add infill in their products to make them safe. SYNLawn SYNBermuda Premium 200 and SYNRye Premium 250 are made of an innovative fire safe nylon requiring no infill.

The tests were conducted by the renowned Testing Services International Inc., in full compliance with government (ASTM) standards. It’s expected that the new certification will have immediate impact on the industry.

SYNLawn SYNBermuda Premium 200 and SYNRye Premium 250 combine durability and aesthetics making them ideal for any environment. Fire officials have sought a way to make playgrounds safer for our children in ways that can look and feel more realistic and fire safe. Recreation departments and school systems can now be confident in using a synthetic lawn product that will enhance the safety of any playground project.

Roxanne Dunn, a single mother and former Miss New Jersey, hired a contractor after losing her previous kitchen to a fire. He was supposed to add a kitchen addition to her childhood home that she shares with her mother. After paying him upfront for everything, he took off – just before their flat, improperly pitched roof caved in and destroyed the shell of a kitchen below. For the last six years, their kitchen has consisted of a microwave, a hot plate, and a plastic table inside a water-damaged space. Host John DeSilvia and his team are gutting the kitchen, fixing the roof and redesigning the interior for this former beauty queen.
