A beautiful, lush, gorgeously green lawn dramatically increases the property value of your
home. Installing synthetic grass is a great way to attract potential buyers by adding to the curb appeal of your home. Even if you are not currently in the market to sell your house, artiﬁcial lawn adds to the general appeal of your property and helps you take pride in your home.

Thanks to technological advancements over the past 2 decades, artiﬁcial grass looks and feels real. The manufacturing process has improved drastically giving you a soft and pleasant lawn to walk on that is perpetually green year round.

European Chafer Beetle and Lawn Damage

The European chafer beetle is a leading cause of lawn damage not only in the Metro Vancouver area but other parts of Canada as well.l Chafer beetles are a nuisance to homeowners as they infest lawns and attract predators such as crows, skunks, and raccoons that damage lawns as they dig for beetle larvae. The larvae will also feed on the roots of grass, causing damage to the grass above. By replacing your natural grass with artiﬁcial turf you will no longer have to worry about this pest – WE GUARANTEE IT!

Let’s Compare Natural Grass to Synthetic Grass

Benefits	Natural Grass	Synthetic Grass
Eco – Friendly	Requires fertilizers, insecticides & gas operated equipment to keep it in good shape.	Very Eco-Friendly. No chemicals are needed, that harm the environment. Reduced carbon footprint.
Pet Friendly	Pet use causes urine patches and dug up areas.	No discolouration or digging issues.
Fading	Yes. Natural grass fades & dies due to poor maintenance or heat.	No. Artifcial synthetic grass is resistant to UV rays and climate changes.
Maintenance	Yes. A regular maintenance is re-quired to keep it up in good shape. Mowing, timing and more.	Very low maintenance.
Fertilizing Requirements	Yes. They might be toxic to human beings and pets.	None needed.
Patches	Yes. Diseases, lack of water, pets use, shady areas, traffic etc. cause patches through the grass areas.	None – always green and great to look at.
Allergies	Grass allergy is one of the most common and prevalent forms of allergy that affects both people & pets.	Allergies to synthetic grass extremely low.
Daily Use	Natural grass allows only moderate use to stay in good shape, especially in playgrounds & sports fields.	Unlimited use. Artificial synthetic grass is designed to resist continuous use.
Watering	Yes. 60-75% of water use in a household is spent in the grass areas.	No Water Required.
Bug & Insects like the Chaffer Beetle	Insects love natural grass and can cause grass roots to be eaten.	A non-issue
