Synthetic Grass Lawns, Artificial Turf, Putting Greens (Indoor and Outdoor) and EcoLogical Lawn

Saving water with synthetic lawns
As New South Wales feels the effect of water restrictions and the dry conditions, many residents are installing no-water, no-mow synthetic lawns that look like real grass.

The synthetic lawn system is based on a unique European concept, which has been brought to Australia by Pro-tech. Pro-tech uses the process of 'fibrillation' to split the fibres and give the lawn the grass-like look and feel.

Bill Rorke, Managing Director of Pro-tech Corp said that many people around Australia have already installed the lawn 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.

"The lawn is porous, with water draining straight through to the ground beneath, is completely safe for pets, and lasts indefinitely with almost no maintenance.

"Enormous effort has gone into making the lawn look real, but we're also looking at further developments, such as incorporating a reticulation process beneath the lawn, to capture rainwater, which can then be transferred to a rainwater tank.

"Once the synthetic lawn is installed it requires no watering, almost no maintenance, will last for at least ten years and depending on the area, costs less that a good quality paving installation," said Mr Rorke.

The lawns have been installed in back and front yards across Sydney, ACT, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth and are available across Australia. A lawn recently installed at Swane's Nursery in Dural has received great interest and a positive response from nursery staff and customers.

Pro-tech also installs synthetic putting greens, which play as true as a championship green, yet require no maintenance and watering.

Pro-tech putting greens are available nation-wide with one recently installed in the front yard of Australian golf champion Peter O'Malley, who joins a host of international golfers to install a synthetic putting green.
