With today’s ecological concerns, many more people are considering sod for its environmental benefits. A thick, luxurious lawn adds benefits to the environment. Sod’s tightly interwoven plants clean the air by releasing valuable oxygen as they use up carbon dioxide, trapping particulate pollution, and cleansing runoff water that helps to restore groundwater supplies. Sod cools the atmosphere by reflecting the sun’s heat and absorbing noises and other harmful pollutants. Sod silently contributes to a healthier environment.
