ENVIRONMENTAL, HUMAN & COMMUNITY BENEFITS
A healthy, well-managed lawn benefits both the environment and the people who enjoy it. Dense, actively growing turf filters dust and pollutants from the air while producing oxygen—a 5,000-square-foot lawn can generate enough for several people each day. Its structure absorbs noise, reduces surrounding sound levels by up to 30%, and stabilizes the soil to prevent erosion. The turf canopy captures and filters stormwater, reducing runoff and protecting local waterways, while evapotranspiration cools the surrounding air, keeping neighborhoods more comfortable during Oklahoma’s summer heat. Beyond environmental impact, lawns improve quality of life. They provide clean, open spaces for play, recreation, and relaxation, helping reduce stress and support cleaner air. A healthy, weed-free lawn enhances property value, strengthens neighborhood pride, and reflects the care Tulsa homeowners invest in their homes and communities.
