Artificial Grass From Southwest Greens Is Lead Free And Kid Safe
Though best known for our state-of-the-art golf greens and backyard putting greens, Southwest Greens of Austin counts artificial lawns made from our synthetic turf
as one of our most popular and fastest growing (figuratively, not
literally) products. Recently it has been revealed that several
purveyors of artificial lawns are selling products with detectable
traces of lead in them. And while the debate is on as to whether these
lead traces are harmful to small children, families looking to provide
a safe home environment for their children can rest easy knowing that
our EnvyLawn artificial grass is 100% lead free.
At
Southwest Greens, our artificial lawns are installed using the same
incredibly realistic synthetic turf used on our championship putting
greens. And while other dealers use lead in their products, largely in
order to add colorant to the fiber, we've never felt the need to do so.
Our product is American made and lead and heavy metal free. Why is this
important? Because even small traces of lead have the potential to do
damage.
The Consumer Product and Safety Commission recently released a report
that stated that "young children are not at risk from exposure to lead"
in the turf it tested. They did add a caveat, however, saying that
"lead on children's hands may then get transferred from their hands to
their mouths through normal hand-to-mouth activity during or after
playing on the field."
The question then becomes are you as a parent willing to take the
chance and expose your child to potentially harmful lead? Of course you
aren't, and with lead-free EnvyLawn synthetic turf from Southwest
Greens you won't have to.
The bottom line is that if the industry can make turf without lead then
it should, and our EnvyLawn turf proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that
it can. One look at our low maintenance, high performance synthetic
lawns and it's perfectly clear that attaining the look and feel of
natural grass is not dependent upon the inclusion of lead in the
product. Not by a long shot.
Whether it's via our championship putting greens or synthetic lawns,
Southwest Greens is committed to creating the perfect backyard for
families nationwide using environmentally friendly products to make
your yard green, pristine, and safe year-round. So what are you waiting
for? Learn more about how easy and affordable installation can be.
