What California HOA's need to know about synthetic grass
Landscaping is seen as the biggest cost for HOA’s. Synthetic grass could be the answer to either lowering the cost for community landscaping or using that money for reserve funds. Due to the sever water shortage throughout California, increased costs and water rationing are something that could be seen in the near future and landscaping in planned communities may suffer due to the higher cost and limited watering. In addition to the water shortage, landscaping costs could also rise due to sprinkler repairs and replacements, equipment cost, constant replacements of grass areas, cost for additional and ongoing maintenance, personnel drainage and more.
By researching and incorporating the correct guidelines into their bylaws HOA’s across California can install synthetic grass throughout all shared areas within the neighborhood and allow homeowners to install synthetic grass in their lawns to reduce costs and contribute to an environmentally friendly and water conserving community.

Lead free
In recent years there have been many concerns over lead in artificial lawns after closing fields at The College of New Jersey in Ewing and Frank Sinatra Park in Hoboken were shown to have high levels of lead in April of 2008. However those concerns should be laid to rest now.
The Synthetic Turf Council has found that the lead found is highly insoluble and even if digested, it could not be absorbed by the body. Due to the “clean bill of health” given by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, FieldTurf has continued to reduce the already low lead levels in its fields to barely detectable trace levels in all newly installed fields. The CPSC has also concluded there is no link between lead in synthetic turf and health risk. There were also no health risk to young children playing on synthetic fields and that parents should not be concerned about harmful levels of lead in artificial turf.
As a FieldTurf Company, EasyTurf’s synthetic grass is lead and toxin free. EasyTurf’s synthetic grass requires no chemicals and eliminates problems with grass allergies.
