Synthetic turf grass is a very popular surface for playing fields in high schools and colleges throughout the country. According to the Synthetic Turf Council, about half of all NFL teams play games on synthetic turf playing fields. So why do so many high schools and colleges switch to artificial turf lawn surfaces? There are many reasons.

The first reason is flexibility. Synthetic turf can be used as a playing surface for many sports, including football, soccer, hockey, baseball, rugby and lacrosse. This is a great plus for high schools and other facilities that use their fields for more than one sport. Another benefit of installing athletic-grade synthetic turf is water conservation. Synthetic turf does not need to be watered, saving schools and other facilities money on water bills.

However one of the main reasons for installing artificial lawn fields is that it increases playing time and safety. A synthetic turf field can be used up to three times more than a natural grass field, offering athletes increased play time and practice time. Artificial lawn fields are also safer than natural grass fields because they provide a consistent, uniform playing field.

Save Water with Fake Grass

An artificial turf lawn is an eco-friendly alternative to natural grass. Among the many reasons, it eliminates the need to use lawn mowers, the source of high levels of carbon monoxide emissions. Artificial turf grass also eliminates the use of fertilizers and pesticides. In addition to these benefits, installing synthetic grass also helps conserve water.

Water conservation is a major issue, and not just in desert areas. It is a worldwide problem that affects us all, which means each of us has a responsibility to conserve water whenever possible. This is why many homeowners and businesses are investing in synthetic grass products for landscaping and other applications. Unlike natural grass lawns, synthetic turf grass does not require water.

According to the Southern Nevada Water Authority, every square foot of natural grass replaced with synthetic turf saves 55 gallons of water a year. If you’re searching for a cost-effective way to conserve water and reduce your water bill, consider installing fake grass.

Just as homeowners and businesses throughout North America benefit from synthetic lawn turf, dogs are also enjoying this alternative landscaping solution to natural grass. The Synthetic Turf Council reports that a growing number of dog parks, day camps, training facilities, and pet hotels are installing synthetic turf surfaces for their pets. According to the announcement, synthetic turf provides dogs with a better experience while also benefiting the environment.

Natural grass simply doesn’t stand a chance against the wear and tear caused by dogs. What’s more, most day camps and parks for dogs are expensive to maintain and usually shut down during the winter months for maintenance or muddy terrain. However, dog parks and training facilities that buy synthetic turf can provide dogs with lush, mud-free terrain that is open year-round regardless of the weather.  In addition, play areas with synthetic grass are much safer and more sanitary than similar facilities with natural grass.

However, Fido is not the only one who benefits from synthetic turf. This innovative product is also great for the environment. Artificial grass saves water and eliminates the need to use harsh chemicals and fertilizers. It also helps combat global warming by eliminating the need to use lawn mowers and leaf blowers.

 Brazilian 1994 World Cup team play on Evergreens Artificial Pitch


INDUSTRY NEWS!


Artificial Grass Pitches are a step closer to making a come back to English Football. The F.A are currently considering informed opinion on their return. Read more…


The BBC first reported last November about the synthetic alternatives possible return and we discussed it on our facebook page at the time about how many lower level English football teams were embracing the return of artificial grass sports pitches.


Oldham Athletic, Preston North End, Luton Town and QPR all used to have an artificial pitch until they were banned by the Football Association in the 80's. Technology has advanced significantly since the 1980's and a number of prestigious clubs in Europe play on artificial pitches. The types of yarns used are much softer and the nasty knee grazes are a thing of the past. Shaped yarn technology also adds to the realism enabling the yarn to better stand up – this technology is also seen in our artificial lawn products.


Lower level teams in Scotland play on them and UEFA allows Champions League games on them. Even Wembley is made up of about 10% plastic grass which put an end to all its previous well documented pitch problems.


We have heard players and groundsmen complain about artificial pitches (injury, speed, realism, quality of football etc) but for lower level clubs it could provide a solution for extra income (hiring out for example) and it would reduce maintenance costs and give the club a place to train (potentially no need for separate training ground). There may also be community schemes and grants the soccer clubs could take advantage of as the synthetic pitch would benefit the community if available to them.


A positive move in favour of their return would be a significant one for the synthetic grass industry at a time when trading is still tough and many commercial budgets have been cut. It was thought this idea was not even on the table, but it seems it is now a real possibility. However, expect their to be strong objections from the premier league, who have the worlds best brand of football to protect – it appears one rule for lower leagues and one rule for the premier league for all weather pitches would not be considered.

 Evergreens UK install Artificial Grass at Heathrow Olympic Terminal


Many of the world’s top athletes will be admiring grass this summer supplied by the country’s leading artificial lawn specialists.


Rutland based Evergreens UK, have just finished laying 1600 square metres of their LazyLawn synthetic grass at the temporary Olympic Terminal that will be used by athletes leaving for home from Heathrow Airport after the Olympic Games in August.


The Olympic Terminal has been built solely for "Games Family" departures, and will be used for the three days after the closing ceremony on 12 August.


More than 10,000 athletes and 37,000 bags will be diverted away from the other terminals during the period. Some 80% of Olympic visitors are due at the airport, with August 13 expected to be Heathrow's busiest day ever.


Inside the terminal a synthetic grassed area will give the approach a more prestigious look, with Evergreens UK “proud and delighted” to be able to say they have played their part in London’s hosting of the world’s top sports festival.


“It is a high profile contract win for us, and we’re very proud and delighted that the world’s finest athletes will be able to walk across our artificial grass before they leave for home, hopefully with fantastic memories from London 2012” said company spokesman Andy Driver.


“As visitors arrive at the terminal they will be greeted by a luscious green perfectly trimmed surface. The athletes will be travelling home in first class style enhancing their London 2012 experience.”


This is one of a number of artificial grass projects Evergreens UK have been selected to install for the games based on quality products and first rate workmanship.


Construction of the terminal - which is roughly the size of three Olympic swimming pools - began in February in an area that is normally used for staff car parking on the south side of the airport.


No flights will leave from the terminal, so athletes will be bussed to departure lounges.


With 31 check-in desks and seven security lanes, BAA expect athletes to take just 30 minutes to pass through the facility. Many of the athletes will be able to check in their luggage at the Olympic Village, ahead of arriving at the airport.


Heathrow is expecting a 35% increase in baggage on 26 July and 13 August, with around 15% of the 200,000 items expected on those days likely to be oversized luggage such as sporting equipment.

One of the most common myths about synthetic turf is that it is unsafe for athletes. More specifically, opponents of synthetic grass claim it increases sports injuries, including head injuries, and increases the chance of skin burns and infections. However, several well-known studies have debunked these claims, proving that the injury risk of playing on artificial grass is no greater than playing on natural grass.

In three 2010 long-term studies, researchers from Norway and Sweden compared acute injuries on synthetic turf and natural grass, according to the Synthetic Turf Council. The researchers looked at hundreds of players during thousands of hours of matches and training sessions. They examined the type, location, and severity of the injuries. After three long-term studies, they concluded what we’ve known all along: the injury risk of playing on a synthetic turf athletic field is no greater than playing on a natural grass field.

At Artificial Turf Supply, we specialize in manufacturing safe and durable athletic-grade synthetic turf, ideal for soccer, football, baseball, and multi-purpose fields. Our synthetic grass fields are not only safe and durable, but also extremely easy to maintain and very affordable. We invite you to visit our website, www.artificialturfsupply.com, to learn more about athletic synthetic turf solutions or to request a quote for artificial turf prices.

Artificial grass is the best kept secret in the residential landscaping industry; it is eco-friendly, water-wise, and maintenance-free. It’s also very life-like! Advanced technology makes it look, feel, and perform just like natural grass. And with so many options to choose from — including dual-tone and multi-hued turfs — it’s easy to find one that suits your needs and lifestyle.

So what is the best artificial grass for residential lawns? Artificial Turf Supply provides homeowners with a full line of residential-grade synthetic turf for home landscaping projects. Our residential turf differs from our athletic turf or commercial-grade products. Residential turf is made to look like lush, beautiful grass, and is available in dual-tone, tri-color and quad-color blades.  Designed for outdoor use, artificial lawns are treated with UV inhibitor and stabilized to withstand ultraviolet degradation, heat, foot traffic, water, and airborne pollutants.

The secret’s out: outdoor artificial turf lends softness and beauty to your home while saving money on water and maintenance costs. It’s often used in front yards, yet more people are installing them in roof top gardens, poolside areas, and other creative areas around the home. They’re especially pretty among natural flowers and trees, or bordering walkways and entrances.

Want to learn more? Here’s our guide to residential artificial grass.

The America’s Cup yachting race is one of the oldest, and highest profile, sporting contests in the World and for the Newport 2012 meet in the USA, Evergreens UK manufactured Logo Mats to enhance the spectacle.


Next year, the 34th America’s Cup takes place in San Francisco, USA. And as a forerunner to that, the America’s Cup World Series was launched last year, with top sailing teams from around the world preparing for the main event by competing for the inaugural title.


As you would expect from a Blue Riband occasion, the first America’s Cup World Series – which has just finished in Rhode Island, USA – was a glittering occasion, attracting large crowds and big television audiences.


Oracle Racing were the first ever winners of this Series. But they were not the only successful team in Rhode Island. Other victors included Britain’s top specialists in artificial grass, Evergreens UK.


No, they have not been out and bought a competition yacht! But in what was a highly prestigious client win for them, Evergreens UK were chosen to supply the logo mats that promoted the event. And they won high praise from the organisers or the finished product.


And as you would expect with such a prestigious occasion, the organisers wanted more than just a mat – they wanted theirs to stand out and be noticed. Evergreens UK, of course, duly obliged.


Using their wide variety of artificial grass colours for which they have become reknown at home and abroad, they made sure they delivered a fantastic, and strikingly original, product - ensuring the branded logo mats they produced stood out during the event, and delighted the organisers.


But it is not just the organisers of the Americas Cup World Series that appreciate the virtues of logo mats. More and more customers at home and abroad are appreciating their value as a cheery welcome gesture into a building or on to an exhibition stand.


Essentially, they make an impact, and get the client’s message across, and most importantly, they make sure their customer’s brand reaches the public eye.


For Evergreens UK, every customer is important. Taking the time to understand their brief is what has made their logo mats so successful with customers at home and abroad.


Evergreen UK leave no proverbial stone unturned in their quest to ensure they deliver precisely to their client’s requirements. In this case the brief was to produce a mat with a subtle and classy look. The Funky Black and Funky Urban Grey products were chosen. These are the highest grade specialist coloured synthetic products available on the market today. The mats were produced in a number of different sizes, all complete with backing and bevel edging allowing for multiple use.


The success of their branded mats at the prestigious America's Cup World Series in the United States - where their work was seen and admired by some of the biggest names in sport and business - is yet another reason why the Evergreens UK name has developed an international reputation for their excellence.


For more about Evergreens UK logo mats, call 01572 768208.

  ?  VW Van  ?  VW Beetles  ?  VW Split Screen Camper Van  ?  VW ‘Shorty’ Camper Van  ?  Land Yacht Air Stream

Read on to find out about the adventure involved in collecting it!

The latest purchase was collected by Peter, one of Evergreens UK brave installers (did I say brave?)…

The race was on to arrive in Helsinki, Finland before the annual heavy snow fall which was un-seasonally late. The journey to collect this rare 1967 21 Window VW Samba Bus started from our Head Office in Oakham, Rutland in late December 2011 using our new VW Transporter Van accompanied with our Vehicle Trailer. Peter travelled through France, Belgium and Germany and arrived at the port of Trabemunde (Germany). A total of 14 hours driving took place prior to a 30 hour ferry ride to Helsinki, where the Bus was previsoulsy owned for a number of years.  The bus was soon loaded and a repeat journey took place.

The total journey time was a whacking 88 hours. ”What a great trip, but very tiring!” Peter – Evergreens UK.

The vehicle is now safe and sound back in sunny England where it will live the rest of its days as a promotional bus for the companies leading artificial lawn brand. It will be fully restored and sign written to promote artificial grass and join our collection of VW’s and an Airstream.

The 2012 new series of Big Brother kicks off on Tuesday 5th June at 9pm on Channel 5 where Artificial Turf specialists Evergreens UK have earned themselves a high profile role with their LazyLawn brand.


The 2012 Big Brother House has been given a glamorous facelift with the garden looking equally spectacular thanks to the new fake lawn supplied by the Rutland based, but nationwide company.


"We're all Big Brother fans, so to be involved with the production for a 7th year is fantastic. It’s been a hugely popular show, full of extraordinary characters and innovative ideas," said LazyLawn spokesman Andy Driver.


The housemates will be enjoying the great outdoors and soaking up the sun in the Garden this summer, and what better way to do this than not having to worry about any mundane garden chores. “Letting some of the housemates loose with a mower could be fun. It maybe even funnier to watch them try and mow an artificial lawn,” joked Andy.


"Hopefully the garden will have a significant role to play during the course of the series, and viewers will be impressed with the way our LazyLawn product looks."


This is the second piece of big news announced by the LazyLawn brand in the past few days, after it was revealed Evergreens UK had provided the synthetic grass being used at the 'Olympic Terminal' at Heathrow Airport as well as 3 other Olympic related projects.


The Big Brother house for 2012 is now all ready to welcome the latest batch of contestants. It looks stunning inside and out and with a lawn almost fit for the queen - well maybe for the first few hours after the housemates are in any way!


Enjoy the new BB series and enjoy the Jubilee Weekend!

 Artificial Grass for a new primary school.


Evergreens  UK was specified and selected  as a preferred  supplier and installer of synthetic grass for the new development at East Anton Primary School. Read on to find out about this project and see more fantastic images.


Evergreens UK worked in conjunction with the main contractor (Mansell) on behalf of Hampshire County Council, and a design company, RPS Group, to install Lazylawn’s new range of  Wonder Yarn to three main areas within the School  grounds to create  a low maintenance, highly useable year round artificial lawn. Each area had its own technical installation challenges due to the shape and contours (groundworks) required.


Outside this fantastic new school is a landscaped area including a number of copse habitat areas to encourage biodiversity and accommodate nature study zones for pupil use. A landscaped courtyard area will be used for outside learning, outside dining and community use out of school hours. “Once it’s finished, it’ll be state of the art – with craft areas, a music and drama studio, I.T suites, food technology rooms, two playgrounds and a sports field” – well… they weren’t wrong! – This grassy area is greener more so now than the park is used to be!


Area 1 was a 60 metre snaking river that runs between specialist paving and landscaped boarders.  This area required over 550 sqm’s of Synthetic Turf and was installed in 3 days including ground works.


Area 2 was an enclosed court yard that contained two raised and contoured beds, and a large circular grass seating area.  This area proved the most challenging as special care was ensured to make sure the grass followed the contours.  All Artificial Grass had to be carried out with pile directions running in the same direction and without visible seams.  This area was carried out by three of the companies most experienced fitters from head office.


Area 3 was to the front of the school –  it was a large impressive stepped amphitheatre design, that also totalled in excess of 500 sq mtrs. The school children are very lucky to have such amazing facilities – we don’t think too many pupils will be missing school with outside spaces such as this!


All three areas required a total of 35 tons of granite stone, 1300 sq mtrs of Wonder Yarn 36mm and 12 tons of kiln dry sand (infill).  The whole project was installed over a period of 14 days by 5 of the “lazy boys” from Evergreens LazyLawn Head Office.  Come to think of it… not so lazy?!

Artificial grass is an industry that is on the rise - and as more people increasingly realise the benefits, it is no surprise! The seemingly persistent rain that has bedevilled this country over the past few months is just one example of why more customers are turning to the option of installing a synthetic lawn: the rain keeps falling, the grass keeps growing, but mowing it in the wet is not easy. Consequently, your back garden starts to look scruffy, and you are at the mercy of the elements.


The older generation take great pride in their gardens, and it is for this reason that they, as much as any section of society, are choosing the option of an artificial lawn.


For the elderly, imitation grass offers a real benefit, especially with many people living longer nowadays, and remaining independent well into their 80's and even 90's.


For them, spending more time at home than most makes it increasingly important for them to be able to use and enjoy a garden, but without the worry of having to maintain it themselves, rely on the goodwill of others, or even pay someone to come in and keep it tidy.


Think about it, for the elderly, who - with respect - are not as mobile as they used to be, mowing the lawn regularly, or even at all, can be extremely difficult if not impossible. Watering the grass to maintain its condition in hot weather is extremely demanding, and for those who have pets for company, letting the dog out for exercise in bad weather can not only churn up the grass, but brings muddy paws indoors, too.


The same problems affect disabled members of the community. They too are increasingly opting for a fake lawn to ensure their gardens look pristine throughout the year, without the worry of maintaining them. Not only that, artificial turf is perfect for wheelchair uses, because the indent of the wheels make little impact, whereas on a soggy lawn mobilising around it can end up leaving mud tracks.


By installing artificial grass, moving around the lawn, cutting it, watering it, maintaining it: all these problems become extinct. And even if there's no garden, then a small patio, or even balcony, can be made much more attractive with artificial grass installed. That bit of green, can make all the difference.


Many residential care homes for the elderly and disabled people have already installed synthetic grass in their grounds; apart from lowering maintenance costs it means residents being able to use the grassed areas much more throughout the year, and without risk of slipping on muddy areas after it has been raining.


Having perfectly maintained green grass all year round holds real value for the older generation, the less mobile, and wheelchair users. It takes away a lot of frustration, and it gives them the pride of looking out at a beautiful lawn come rain, hail or shine. Not only that, they have the convenience of being able to use their lawn at any time of the year.


So it is no surprise the artificial option is becoming more agreeable to so many!

You might be wondering the same thing. The short answer to this question is, yes!
