Things To Consider
Maintenance And
Operational Budgets
Are Under Constant Pressure.
Today, Maintenance and Operations professionals
are increasingly being challenged to do more with less.
Budget cuts, personnel reductions and ever
increasing expectations for enhanced amenities and
improved facilities continue to place pressure on
municipal operations everywhere.
Turfscape is a necessary weapon in the fight
to accomplish your goals. Turfscape is an
environmentally and socially responsible solution that
will decrease the pressure on your maintenance and
operations resources, allowing critical human
resources to focus on other important initiatives.
As a solution, Turfscape is perfect for areas that are
burdened with overuse and experience repeated
environmental challenges. Too often it is impossible
to maintain grass in its desired state.
Water shortages, chemical restriction and
over-population combine to place unprecedented
pressure on municipal recreational and leisure spaces,
establishing Turfscape as the Green Alternative.
Every Turfscape surface is protected by an 8-year,
non-prorated Insured Warranty, which is backed by
an A.M. Best Rated Insurance Company.
An Insured Warranty is
OVERBURDEN
•
Municipal and operational professionals work tirelessly
in an attempt to preserve the community and its
facilities, yet it is often impossible to maintain natural
grass due to increased use and over-population.
•
Embarrassing areas of mud and dirt will negatively
impact the image of the municipality’s facilities, and
often result in mud and dirt being tracked into buildings
resulting in additional maintenance requirements.
RESTRICTIONS
•
Water restrictions are wide spread in most municipalities across the nation, eliminating natural grass as a
viable alternative.
•
Government fertilizer and chemical bans all but assure
that all natural grass areas will struggle with weed
infestation. Dead grass and/or an abundance of weeds
will not produce the image demanded by the citizens
within the municipality.
ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
•
•
Water restrictions are common place in today’s society.
Natural grass requires water to survive. Water is a
precious resource that should not be wasted in an effort
to preserve natural grass.
The various chemicals and fertilizers utilized to maintain
natural grass and control weeds have been proven to be
dangerous to humans and animals. These dangerous
chemicals are often found in the ground water.
Turfscape also eliminates emissions from maintenance
equipment.
“REQUIRED PROTECTION”
Turfscape surfaces are a significant investment and should be protected. To ensure your return
on investment, every Turfscape surface is protected by an eight year Insured Warranty.
An Insured Warranty is necessary for anyone purchasing a synthetic turf landscape surface,
in fact, it should be considered “Required Protection”.
It is CRITICAL to SELECT A VENDOR that provides a
“TOTAL SOLUTION”
Turfscape professionals possess the experience required to successfully complete your
installation. The actual installation of the Turfscape surface is only one of the critical
components of a success application. Base, drainage and edge details represent only
a few of the critical elements that require specific attention to properly complete the
construction. A “Total Solution” does not end with the completion of the
installation. Lifecycle planning, maintenance information and technical support
are just a few of the examples of the “Total Solution” that Turfscape represents.
Turfscape SYNTHETIC TURF SURFACES are
“SUPERIOR QUALITY”
Not all synthetic turf landscape surfaces are created equal. Ample face-weight,
multi-layer backing, advanced seaming systems and a professional installation can
prevent you from experiencing problems with the surface throughout its life cycle.
Selecting the best synthetic turf surface requires a comprehensive education to
ensure informed decisions.
When it comes to the INSTALLATION:
“EXPERIENCE MATTERS”
At Turfscape , our installation technicians undergo extensive training and receive stringent certification for all aspects of the
product’s installation. The Turfscape installation technicians are required to be certified to operate the various types of equipment,
and educated regarding job site safety. When it is important that the job be done right, experienced craftsmen are required.
