Synthetic Grass Demand Is Growing

We were given a small indication recently about just how quickly and strongly the synthetic grass industry is growing when the results of Easy-Turf Inc were announced. For the second year in a row the company was named as one of the fastest growing companies in America. It was the only synthetic grass company to make it into the top 5,000 companies and was the 17th fastest growing company in the environmental services industry.

This is a company that has been at the top of the synthetic turf industry for nine years now and has had its synthetic grass installed in over 5,000 residential and commercial locations throughout Southern California.

By making some conservative estimations about the benefits the product has had on the environment the installation of all of the EasyTurf synthetic grass means that Southern California residents are now saving around 56,000 gallons of water each year. This makes the synthetic grass one of the best water conservation devices available on the market.

The fact that the company has continued to grow even through the downturn in the economy is a pretty good indicator that the synthetic grass industry is still expanding. One of the things to remember about EasyTurf is that it is primarily a landscaping synthetic grass product rather than a sports turf product. The majority of installations that are being done are residential properties or golf putting greens as opposed to other synthetic turf companies that are installing artificial turf in sports stadiums.

What that tells me is that synthetic grass is becoming even more accepted as a realistic alternative to natural grass for the lawn. Could it be that the stigma of the synthetic lawn is beginning to be overcome?
