Members of the Turfgrass Producers of Texas grow sod grass in every corner of our state for use on lawns, sports fields, golf courses, and commercial sites.
In the U.S. alone, nearly 6 billion tons of soil wash or blow away each year. Soil erosion in the U.S. costs between $6 billion and $16 billion a year.

Turfgrass helps control pollution, trapping an estimated 12 million tons (10.9 million metric tons) of dust and dirt released annually into the atmosphere.

For over 1000 years, humans have cultivated lawns for parks, gardens, and outdoor sports.
A lawn, 50′ x 50′ (15.24 x 15.24 m) (2,500 ft²) (232 m²) releases enough oxygen for a family of four, while absorbing carbon dioxide, ozone, hydrogen fluoride, and peroxyacetyl nitrate.
A dense, healthy lawn prevents run-off, absorbing rainfall six times more effectively than a wheat field and four times better than a hay field.
A healthy lawn can deter crime and promote safety as sightlines discourage intruders and improve visibility.
As part of a well-designed and maintained landscape, turfgrass increases a home’s property value 15 to 20%.
Lawns and parks create communal spaces to gather, throw a frisbee, walk the dog, enjoy a concert, or take in Fourth of July fireworks.
Spending time in nature has documented mental health benefits. Walk barefoot in cool green grass and you’ll know why turf is so important.
