I am an architect here in Atlanta, GA and I specialize in Landscaping.  I am always looking to improve my knowledge of my craft.  I learned about LEED Certification on the Global Syn Turf Website.  LEED Certification is using building materials that are environmentally sustainable.  Global Syn Turf and their products are certified for this certification.  Global Syn Turf is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council and LEED Certification.  LEEDs stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.   By installing Global Syn Turf artificial turf can earn buildings and projects points towards being LEED Certified.  To me this means that Global Syn Turf cares about what they do and what they manufacturer and they care about the environment and the future of our planet.  One of the biggest things that LEED Certified artificial grass does is save water.  Artificial turf saves water and I mean saves a lot of water.  It is estimated that 70% of the water usage a home goes to watering the grass and plants in the yard.  If you total the amount of this water saves per household it equates to billions of gallons of water.  I will now start to recommend and specify Global Syn Turf Grass in my projects I am designing.
