NATIONAL LAWN CARE MONTH
A HEALTHY YARD BOOSTS ENVIRONMENT, SAVINGS
The Virginia-based Professional Landcare Network, or
PLANET, America's nonprofit lawn care and landscape association, celebrates
National Lawn Care Month by reminding consumers about the benefits of a
healthy lawn.
More than 30 million acres of lawns exist in the United
States, removing an estimated 5 percent of the carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere, according to the organization.
"A healthy lawn not only adds curb appeal, but provides
sound proofing and cooling effects to the home," said PLANET President David
Snodgrass.
A well-maintained 50-foot by 50-foot lawn produces
enough oxygen for a family of four. Eight healthy front lawns have the
cooling effect of 70 tons of air conditioning - enough to cool 16 average
homes.
Dense, healthy grass slows down and filters runoff,
removing contaminants and trapping soil. Clean, filtered water then
returns to the underground water supply.
Turf also provides pollution control by trapping dust
and smoke particles from the atmosphere.
The healthier the turf, the thicker the roots, and it's
this thick carpet of healthy turf that effectively filters and purifies both
air and water.
PLANET offered these lawn-care tips for the April
observance:
Clear the lawn of leaves, downed branches, and other
debris that have fallen during the winter.
Aerate the lawn if it seems compacted, if moss is
growing, or the grass has worn down. Machines can be rented or a
professional can provide the service.
Check the lawn's pH balance. Grass likes a well
pH-balanced lawn. Many local extension offices provide this service.
