Artificial Turf is 100% Safe

Recently there have been several reports in the media regarding the safety of lead chromate in artificial turf products. As the manufacturer of many artificial grass products we believe it is our obligation to provide our customers with the facts required to make educated decisions, especially when it comes to safety. We take this responsibility very seriously. Therefore, partnering with our sister company AstroTurf, we have conducted a great deal of testing and have asked many top scientific experts for their opinions regarding the safety and potential risk of the lead chromate found in artificial turf.

On May 5, 2008, General Sports Venue (the exclusive licensee of the AstroTurf brand) held a press conference to address questions regarding the safety of artificial turf. A panel of highly respected toxicologists, epidemiologists and chemical fiber engineers presenting their findings all unanimously concluded that there are no health risks associated with lead chromate in artificial turf.

Use More Fake Grass and Get More Money Back

Now is the perfect time to replace your natural grass landscape with artificial grass in Nevada. As of the first of this year, the Southern Nevada Water Authority has enhanced it's Water Smart Landscapes (WSL) Rebate Program to allow for even bigger rebates for residents. This is good news for homeowners and businesses converting to artificial grass, especially those with larger lawn areas. The most significant change in the rebate program for 2008 is removal of the 1,500 square foot limit. This year, no matter how large your lawn, every inch of converted natural grass will qualify towards a $1.50 per square foot rebate. Quite simply, the more natural grass you replace with artificial grass the more money you will get back.
