York, UK (PRWEB) May 28, 2007 -- Summer is fast approaching. Perhaps you look out at a threadbare lawn and wonder whether it's worth the effort to make more from your garden. Rolawn - growers of Britain's Finest Turf® - knows better than most about the benefits of using quality turf to revitalize a lawn.
Here are ten top reasons why you should be thinking again about a lawn this summer.
1. Standing on Grass Can Reduce Stress
It sounds like a bold claim, but experiments have shown that standing barefoot on grass can lessen some of the symptoms associated with stress. Electrical skin resistance, heart rate and blood pressure have all been shown to fall when your bare skin is stimulated by blades of grass.
2. Your Lawn Pumps Out Oxygen
An average lawn of around 250 square metres absorbs carbon dioxide from the air, and produces enough oxygen for a family of four to breathe.
3. Fun and Games for All!
It isn't a massive leap of imagination to consider the difference between your child falling face first onto some decking as opposed to a springy grass surface. Good quality, hard-wearing turf is robust enough for all kinds of outdoor games.
4. Self Cleaning
Ever seen anyone washing their lawn? Thought not! Turf is self-cleaning, absorbing garden debris and organic material
5. Ahh… that smell
Few smells are more reminiscent of lazy summer days than the smell of freshly mown grass.
6. Adding value to your property
It is known that a well maintained lawn and landscaped garden significantly adds roadside appeal and value to a property.
7. Enjoyment and reward
Looking after and maintaining a beautiful lawn is a rewarding experience and past time. The results speak for themselves and are there for all to see, from friends and neighbours to you and your family.
8. Nature's filter
Not only does a lawn trap and filter dust and dirt from the air it also can reduce pollution by purifying the water passing through its root zone.
9. We are programmed to enjoy it
It is believed that standing barefoot on grass is a multi-sensory experience. It triggers deeply rooted associations with the smell and sound of nature and the vision of dense greenery. These associations are probably evolutionary and are hard-wired into our nervous systems.
10. It's cool
Another benefit that everyone can enjoy from a lawn is its tremendous cooling effect. On a hot summers day a lawn's surface can be at least 30 degrees cooler than that of tarmac.
