Natural turf benefits

The National Diesel Dirt and Turf Expo is on 21, 22 and 23 April.

International Greenkeepers and Turf NSW have teamed up together to help promote the benefits of natural turf.

Natural turf is not only great for the environment but also a great asset for your community to enjoy from picnics to sport natural grass can be enjoyed by everyone.

A couple of fun facts.

Did you know that each square meter of turf removes 2.5 kilograms of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?

So for the average size sports field that is turned to a synthetic pitch equals to around 25,000kg of carbon dioxide per pitch left in our atmosphere.

Come out to The National Diesel Dirt and Turf Expo to visit our stand where we will be displaying different types of natural turf and get free advice from professional turf growers to help you chose your next variety for your next project at work or home.

Bring your staff or family for a great day not only just turf but all kinds of machinery from excavators to tractors.
