Ask a dozen people what their idea of "low maintenance turf is, and customer will get a dozen interesting answers. Too many people, low maintenance turf is the brown, thin, clumpy stand of grass customer or homeowners find on some old roadside or abandoned right-of-way. Yes, those turf stands are indeed low maintenanceabout as low in maintenance as customer can go nearly early zero, in fact. But low maintenance Sod Atlanta has another meaning-one that applies equally well to all turfs, including home lawns and premium golf courses. Sometimes the highest maintenance turf sites stand to reap the greatest rewards from maintenance-reducing techniques. The tips and techniques detailed in this book can benefit every situation, from the basic home lawn to a championship pro sports field. Here's a story to illustrate the point: Consider two houses side by side. Both houses are poorly insulated against the cold, wasting a lot of heat during the winter. House A averages 400 dollars per month in winter heating bills, while smaller House B pays 200 dollars. Homeowners in both houses decide to add insulation to help cut their heating costs. The installation contractor says the additional insulation will cut their heating bills in half. Which of the two housesA or Bwill save more money?
Of course the answer is that both houses stand to gain from added insulation. But House A with the higher heating bills will reap the greatest reward: House A will save 200 dollars per month while house B pockets 100 dollars. This same concept applies to turf. The more money, labor, and products customer currently expend on the turf, the more customer stand to gain from lower maintenance. A golf course or sports field with a beefy maintenance budget can save far more by trimming maintenance than can a park or cemetery. A turf facility that's already spending rock bottom maintenance-wise stands little to gain by additional reductions. It's already nearly zero. However, even this type of turf can be improved in quality and appearance by the different techniques.
Before customer charge out to cut the maintenance, it's important to define exactly what one is saving. Sod Atlanta maintenance reductions come in many forms. In the house analogy, money savings was the key issue. The homeowners saved money by insulating their houses. But other things can be conserved as well, such as the time and valuable natural resources. It's a good idea to develop a priorities list for the turf site. Homeowner will discover that turf can be quite thrifty if he or she designs it that way from the start.
