Consider for a moment the highly beneficial and surprisingly significant environmental benefits of mature, healthy Winrock Zoysia®:
- Winrock Zoysia®Creates Life Sustaining Oxygen: There are over 1,000 individual zoysiagrass plants in one square foot of mature Winrock Zoysia® professionally grown at Winrock Grass Farm, Inc. An area 7.5 feet long and 7.5 feet wide of mature Winrock Zoysia® provides enough fresh oxygen for one person for an entire day.
- Reduces Noise: Winrock Zoysia® absorbs, deflects, reflects and refracts sounds.
- Absorbs Pollutants: Winrock Zoysia® absorbs carbon dioxide from the ir, i.e. from the exhaust of motor vehicles.
- Reduces Heat: Winrock Zoysia® is a solution to the much publicized Global Warming problem. Mature Winrock Zoysia® absorbs heat from the sun and releases cool oxygen into the air. In fact, a healthy Winrock Zoysia® lawn has twice the cooling effect of the average size central air conditioning unit.
- Reduces Runoff: One square foot of mature Winrock Zoysia® can absorb up to 12” of water in one day.
- Purifies the Water it absorbs: Winrock Zoysia®’s dense root mass and soil microbes act biologically to breakdown chemicals and pollutants.
- Provides Allergy Control, Glare Reduction, Particulate Absorption, and Fire Retardation.
Winrock Zoysia® needs less fertilizers and herbicides than virtually all other war season and cool season turf quality grasses. It also needs less water and fewer mowings – i.e. less energy and resources are needed to take care of it.
