Paradise Greens and Turf Company is now the anti-microbial infill distributor for Arizona. As part of remaining on the cutting edge of the synthetic turf industry and staying current with research and development, Paradise Greens now offers the latest in synthetic turf infill. Anti-microbial infill is a high performance infill made of naturally occurring, highly rounded silica sand that has unique properties that closely simulate the feel of a natural grass while its patented coating locks out dust, moisture and bacteria.

Charlie Ferer, President of Paradise Greens and Turf Company, states “we highly recommend this infill for playgrounds. Anti-microbial infill inhibits the growth of microbes such as bacteria, fungi, protozoa’s, and viruses. Pope John XXIII Catholic School Community made an excellent choice in utilizing this infill with our artificial grass for their play area. This is just one of the schools that saw the benefit in the utilization of this infill.”

Paradise Greens anti-microbial infill is non-toxic, dustless, and heavy metal free. There are no harmful chemicals or additives that can leach in to the environment. The infills acrylic coating is hydrophobic –meaning that even if the material is wet it will not absorb moisture, which enables it to reduce microbial survival in the turf.

The non-flammable, acrylic coating enables the infill to encapsulate the granules and maintain moderate temperatures in any weather condition resulting in natural heat reducing properties that significantly lower surface temperatures. In infill heat build-up studies clear coated infill has proven to lower outdoor playing surfaces as much as 20%.

Paradise Greens anti-microbial infills unique, highly-rounded shape resists compaction which keeps your lawn perfectly infilled for stability and aesthetics throughout its life. For health and safety concerns, the shape of the sand gives the infill a low abrasive index (.45 skin friction/ 15% skin abrasion) making it slide friendly. Remaining true to our philosophy of sustainability the infill material is also recyclable. Contact Paradise Greens and Turf Company for a price quote on your next project.

…Literally. Grass, dirt, dust, all becoming a thing of the past for more and more stadiums across the country. The Ravens in Baltimore were one of the first recent teams to come on board with artificial turf, and more have followed suit.

Aside from pro-football teams deciding that their stadiums need to be updated, the collegiate games are now starting to have this discussion as well. This past season, football teams tore apart fields during the Capital One Bowl and the Champs Sports Bowl. It takes months for those fields to be grown back into perfect playing order and during that time not much else can be done on the field while it grows.

During the month of June, it has been decided by the Orlando City Council that the Citrus Bowl will be in talks to get artificial turf installed by the fall. The date was to be set for September 1st and just in time for the 2010 football fall schedule. However there are some legal issues that will undoubtedly push the date back, the community is deadset on installing brand new artificial turf to play on. They have decided that since other stadiums have been destroyed by harsh bowl games, they would like to get out in front of this issue and stick with artificial turf, being that it’s strong and can handle harsh treatment.

Do you agree that more stadiums should install artificial turf for all year play ability?

As the years go on, artificial turf gets talked about more and more. Whether it is a discussion about the positives or negatives behind implementing synthetic grass, it is nonetheless an active discourse happening all over the country. The overwhelming use of turf cannot be ignored as it continues to grow in more and more communities, neighborhoods, parks, and school yards.

Schools in particular are warming to turf for more and more projects. Some schools claim it even boosts morale, because the children have more opportunity to play, and practice sports throughout the year. Schools, who usually have a heard time sticking to budgets can now put money previously used for field maintenance to better uses in the classroom. One school in the article linked above, stated that they are even going to sell their riding lawn mower as a fundraiser because it hasn’t been touched since the turfs were installed.

Covering the asphalt used in some playgrounds and areas also lead to a higher standard of safety as well. There are less cuts and scrapes and overall injuries. Occasionally on turf you will see a minor “turf burn” style scratch, but as the technology improves the rubber blades become softer and more natural this will also be a thing of the past.

Has your school looked into the trend that’s sweeping America? It should.

New York is commonly referred to as the concrete jungle. Basketball courts, asphalt playgrounds, and hundreds of miles of sidewalk are the images one recalls when someone thinks about New York City. All of its greenery is supposedly kept up in that gigantic, rectangular, famous Central Park, right? Wrong.

In 1998 Chelsea Park became the first park in Manhattan to be done over in Artificial Turf. On the west side of the island, this big sports complex is now a host to city-wide soccer teams, and active New Yorkers.

The problem with grass is that it constantly needs to be maintained, this is why New York generally defaults to asphalt, because it only needs the occasional patch work and crack fills for when it breaks down. Also, in order for grass to regrow, the fields need to be temporarily closed. When you look at New York’s long winter, and then ask them to close their fields even longer, this shortens precious outdoors time.

In 2001 Mayor Bloomberg vowed that his administration would seek out asphalt fields/courts and replace then with synthetic turf, and now New York is the largest buyer of synthetic turf nationwide.

Shouldn’t other cities follow suit?

There is a heated debate happening in San Francisco right now regarding the covering of a soccer field with Artificial Turf. One side of the coin states that by covering a soccer field with synthetic grass it is hurting the environment & the path of certain migratory birds who frequent the area. The flip side of that coin states that by covering the field with grass they are saving millions of gallons of water, and allowing the field to be used all year instead of waiting for it to re-grow.

There are as many arguments for and against using turf. Many wonder if the chemicals used to treat it could cause harm to the environment or if the amount of heat that radiates off of the grass could contribute to global warming. Others say that because it requires very little maintenance, materials, & tools over a longer period of time, the overwhelming benefits outweigh the possible negatives.

Most don’t take an official stance on either side, but since more and more fields are being put in place, the evidence speaks for itself.

When you were a kid, maybe you played baseball, or soccer, or football. The field you held your competitions or games on could have been made of either real or synthetic grass, but most likely the fields you practiced on were composed of real grass. Odds are on a warm summer day, when the fields are being cut by lawnmowers, and tended to by groundskeepers, the smell of fresh cut grass is the only memory you have of that time.

However, what if you could keep a piece of that turf on a shelf to see, to hold, to touch? Imagine, looking up at any moment in the middle of winter and seeing that turf sitting there all of the memories that could come rushing back.

That is exactly what the Dallas Cowboys have just done. According to ESPN.com today, Texas Stadium is now offering various pieces to be sold off as keepsakes from the Cowboys and the stadium. The most interesting are the two Artificial Turf momentos – one, an etched-glass display case with a bit of turf inside of it, and the other a set of Dallas Cowboys coasters, with a circle in the center full of turf.

I suppose this could be done with real grass too, but over time it would brown and not be anywhere near as fun. The legend of the artificial turf of Texas Stadium will live on forever in the memories of its fans.

California is proving to be a leader and trendsetter in artificial and synthetic turf implementation. On February 10, 2010, the assembly bill 1793 passed which would provide more opportunities for synthetic turf business. With California being the largest US market for synthetic turf, it comes as no surprise, but is an exciting step for the synthetic turf industry.

“This bill would provide that a provision of any of the governing
documents of a common interest development would be void
and unenforceable if it prohibits, or includes conditions that
have the effect of prohibiting, the use of artificial turf or any
other synthetic surface that resembles grass.”

The legislation is a victory for the synthetic turf industry. With the proper installation from reputable synthetic grass companies, such as Paradise Greens, synthetic grass can be an aesthetic landscape with flexibility and ease of care. Switching to synthetic grass lowers pollution by not having to use air pollutant chemicals, reduces water usage, erosion and manages watershed.

In 2009, an estimated 20 million square feet of synthetic grass was installed in the state of California alone. An average of 45 gallons of water per year is used to maintain natural grass in California, with as high as 55 gallons or as low as 35, depending on the climate. Given these figures, the state of California saved 900 million gallons of water, in estimate for last year alone. What is a victory in one state can spread to the rest of the nation, as buzz about synthetic grass from the trendsetting state takes off.
