Synthetic lawn looks good to Swanes
Swanes Nursery in NSW has used synthetic lawn to create a beautiful green
oasis in the centre of its Dural premises, which means it won't need to draw on
precious water supplies.
Mr Nigel Dibbs, a manager at Swane's Nursery, was looking to create a display
oasis in his nursery but was concerned about water usage. He read about
Pro-tech's synthetic lawn in a magazine and was impressed with the realistic
'grass-like' appearance of the synthetic product.
"Being a traditional garden centre, we had some reservations about using
synthetic lawn, but we recognised that it was responsible to use, especially
with the water issues we are currently having," Dibbs said.
The lawn is part of a garden feature measuring 40 metres squared, which does not
require any watering and very little maintenance is needed to keep it looking in
top condition.
"The Pro-tech lawn was such an improvement compared to Astro-turf and a broad
range of customers have shown an interest. They walk on it and say it feels like
walking on real grass.
"The lawn has a lot of potential, especially for people who live in townhouses
and have smaller yards," said Dibbs.
Pro-tech has struck a business partnership with Swanes, making it one of the
first nurseries in Australia to sell this form of synthetic lawn.
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 to give the lawn the grass-like look and feel.
Along with the lawn product, the synthetic putting greens are distributed
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.
