Promoting Environmental Relief One Putting Green at a Time

At Southwest Greens Chicago, we’ve allowed countless golf enthusiasts to bring the game home with them courtesy of both our backyard putting greens and indoor putting greens. In the process, they’ve managed to enhance their game while increasing the value of their homes. There is an added benefit to installing one of our golf greens, however, and that is the positive effect it will have on the environment. Did you know that mowing and maintaining natural grass is one of the worst things you can do for the environment? It’s true. And while we won’t pretend that anyone installs a home practice facility with an eye toward the ozone, it’s certainly a cool byproduct!

Exactly how can home putting greens made from the finest artificial grass in the industry benefit the environment? They can do so simply by reducing the amount of natural grass in your yard. Eliminating natural grass means eliminating the yard work in which environmental pitfalls abound. For example, did you know that using a gas lawnmower is the equivalent of gassing up your car and embarking on a 100 mile trip? Or that each time you mow you release what are known as hydrocarbons into the atmosphere? These unfriendly little guys eventually reappear as smog. Finally, natural grass lawns result in an amazing amount of water waste. In fact the average American homeowner squanders some 25 gallons of water per square foot of lawn a year. For obvious reasons, we can help you conserve and reduce your water bill significantly.

The convenience of playing the game you love whenever you please and in the comfort of your own backyard is all the reason you’ll ever need for installing a Southwest Green. Even so, the knowledge that so many environmental issues can be addressed at the same time is a powerful and appealing bonus. And in the realm of unexpected surprises, it’s nice to discover the many ways you’ll be making a difference while at the same time having so much fun.

Discover what so many have discovered before you and what more and more golf fans like yourself are discovering every day. Namely, all the great ways a Southwest Green can bring a sense of convenience to your game and uniqueness to your backyard. The game as you’ve always imagined it is now within your reach. In fact it’s just outside the door if you want it with a little help from Southwest Greens.
