Saving water with synthetic lawns
How to save water in light of our current restrictions has become the subject of a national debate, and the installation of no-water synthetic lawns which look like real grass is the latest water-saving technique on everyone's mind.

Bill Rorke, Managing Director of Pro-tech Corp P/L, a supplier of synthetic lawns, says that many people around Australia have already installed the lawns because it is a great alternative to grass.

"Many people find it very difficult to grow grass in certain locations at the best of times and with water restrictions in force it has become an even bigger chore.

"We use a process called fibrillation to split synthetic fibres, which gives our lawn a grass-like look and feel – it is a process that has only just been introduced to Australia and the end result is obviously highly suited to our dry climate.

"People will often install our fibrillated lawns in courtyard style backyards and front yards, and they will never need to water it – it is an obvious way to save water and is often a better-looking alternative to paving an area with tiles or urban stone," said Rorke.

The lawns have been installed in back and front yards across Sydney, ACT, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth and are available across Australia.

Lesley Quinsey of Liberty Grove in Sydney, who just had a Pro-tech lawn installed in her backyard says she is delighted with the results.

"I look at my neighbours' lawn and it is very depressing – their lawn is dying – and now I can come into my backyard and look at my beautiful green lawn," said Lesley.

Pro-tech installs synthetic lawns nationally and also specialises in the installation of synthetic putting greens, like the putting green in the front yard of Australian golf champion Peter O'Malley. Pro-tech can be contacted on 1300 554 334.
