Pixie Hollow Fairy Garden Comes Alive with Synthetic Turf
Albuquerque, NM (PRWEB) March 4, 2011
The Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival opened this week at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla. The spring special event offers many surprises for visitors such as Disney character topiaries, a colorful array of flowers, and live music events, but guests may be most surprised to learn that the lush, green grass beneath their feet may be fake.
The Pixie Hollow Fairy Garden features a gorgeous green lawn, but like most attractions at the theme park, this grass is not what it seems. The turf is an incredibly realistic synthetic grass offering from ForeverLawn and DuPont that is not only accessible to wheelchairs and braces, but is also a beautiful, durable landscaping solution that can withstand the festival’s heavy foot traffic. If walking on the turf isn’t enough, the park also offers a playground where guests can roll, tumble, and play on it. Part of an overall safety system called Playground Grass, the grass is safe for children to play on and safety rated to fall heights of 12 feet, so children lucky enough to visit the park can play safely.
ForeverLawn calls their Playground Grass product “the new generation of playground safety surfacing.” A soft, accessible surface, Playground Grass provides children of all abilities the opportunity to play. Even children with allergies can romp on the grass, since the non-organic surface does not harbor allergens or insects.
This marks the fifth year that ForeverLawn synthetic grass has been part of the festival. The turf originally appeared in a DuPont display in 2007, and continues to draw amazement and attention from guests. “People ask us all the time if the grass is real,” said Jim Davis, product portfolio manager, DuPont Landscape Systems. According to Davis, visitors at the display would bend down to touch the grass to make sure it is, in fact, artificial. “They don’t believe us when we tell them it’s artificial,” he said.
More information about Playground Grass can be found at playgroundgrass.com. Visitors to the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival can experience the unique grass for themselves from March 2 through May 15, 2011.

FieldTurf is Firmly Planted in the Garden State Yet Again in 2010
Tenton, NJ (Vocus) November 3, 2010
Schools, municipalities and sports organizations at all levels across the great state of New Jersey have once again made FieldTurf the #1 choice of artificial turf systems. 2010 was another record setting year for FieldTurf with 50 sports field installations in New Jersey alone. With the feedback coming from FieldTurf’s customers themselves, this is due largely in part to the product’s unrivaled safety features along with its proven longevity and superior performance characteristics that makes for a great investment.
Adding 50 more installs in NJ in 2010 brings the total amount of FieldTurf installations in the Garden State to over 340.
With 2010 coming to a close, once again FieldTurf was the product of choice by an overwhelming margin – 9 out of 10 (90%) organizations that purchased synthetic turf fields this year chose FieldTurf.
One of the higher profile users selecting FieldTurf this year is the NY Giants/NY Jets at the New Meadowlands Stadium. FieldTurf introduced an exclusive, innovative end zone tray system at the new stadium so that each NFL team has its own custom end zones.
Other users such as High School teams and Collegiate squads play over a third set of trays which are just green. The NY Giants also have FieldTurf for the indoor and outdoor fields at their Timex training facility.
Rutgers University recently upgraded to FieldTurf Durapsine Pro as a part of the football stadium expansion program, while Princeton University installed its 3rd and 4th FieldTurf surface this year.
Fairleigh Dickenson has chosen FieldTurf for a 3rd time as well for its baseball stadium field upgrade. Rider University was also added to the already impressive list of collegiate users in the state. FieldTurf is now used at 23 college level fields in NJ alone representing almost all collegiate level fields throughout the State.
High school users of FieldTurf remain the product’s #1 fan. New Jersey is now home to a total of 150 high school fields, with over 110 of them being public high schools. In 2010, sixteen new high schools chose FieldTurf. Ten were public High Schools and six were private. These sixteen High School fields represent 100% of all high school fields in New Jersey that were purchased to date in 2010.
FieldTurf is proud to announce the recent addition of 6 new fields at the private high school level – Oratory Prep, Notre Dame Prep HS, Red Bank Catholic HS, Union Catholic HS, and Delbarton Prep (2).
Private high school users now total 37 which include some nationally recognized athletic programs such as Don Bosco Prep, Bergen Catholic, St Peters Prep, St. Joe’s HS, and many others in addition to the recent installations listed above.
With regards to the obvious preference of FieldTurf systems throughout the state of New Jersey, no other artificial turf company won a single high school field project in 2010 and almost every college using an infilled artificial turf surface has selected FieldTurf over all others since 1998.
FieldTurf’s 50 fields amounted to over 4,000,000 square feet of artificial turf on sports fields in the state of New Jersey in 2010.

HGTV’s New “Make Over Madness” Show to Feature Golf Greens Fore U Synthetic Replacement Lawn
Morristown, NJ (PRWEB) November 11, 2009
Lead-free synthetic turf by Golf Greens Fore U gets top billing as replacement lawn in HGTV’s new how-to-show “Make Over Madness,” filmed in Morristown, NJ earlier this summer.
A team from the Red Bank, NJ-based Golf Greens Fore U, makers of Olympia Turf, installed the environmentally-friendly, 100 percent lead-free synthetic turf as replacement lawn.
The Golf Greens Fore U team installed the synthetic athletic turf to cover an overtly shady area of the homeowner’s backyard.
As any homeowner can attest, too much shade can make it tough to grow and maintain a viable natural lawn. Synthetic replacement lawns by Olympia Turf, a product of Golf Greens Fore U, are an environmentally-friendly option, particularly in areas where its difficult to grow a natural lawn, due to drought conditions, excessive shade, or less than optimum soil conditions.
“We worked as a team for most of the afternoon, replacing the homeowner’s lawn with our lead-free synthetic turf. We were very satisfied with the results. The turf will remain maintenance-free and green for years,” says Joseph Ali, president of Golf Greens Fore U, a leading manufacturers and installer of synthetic athletic turf, replacement lawns and putting greens.
“We look forward to seeing HGTV’s Make Over Madness. The show will offer informative advice and tips for homeowners regarding lawn, garden and home design,” adds Ali.
Golf Greens Fore U and its Olympia Turf product line is the turf used on The Golf Academy Live Television Set and at the Nike Training Facility where Tiger Woods tests golf clubs.
For more information about Golf Greens Fore U, Olympia Turf, or for franchise or licensee information, call 732.933.4653 or, visit http://www.golfgreensforeu.com.

California Ultimate Turf Scores Roaring Success with TigerTurf™ Installation for Arena Soccer Park of Orange, Calif.
Orange, Calif. (PRWEB) April 21, 2010
California Ultimate Turf (CUT) scored a roaring success recently when it installed 22,000 square feet of TigerTurf for Arena Soccer Parks’ facility located at 2190 North Canal Street in Orange, Calif. The installation was completed Feb. 2 on time and within Arena Soccer Parks’ budget in spite of a two-week rain delay.
Based in Signal Hill, Calif., CUT is a full service, turnkey construction company that has been an authorized field representative for TigerTurf Americas, the world’s most advanced artificial turf manufacturer, since 2008. TigerTurf Americas is headquartered in Austin, Texas.
Arena Soccer Parks LP provides recreational indoor/arena soccer entertainment for all ages and skill levels in Orange and Garden Grove, Calif. The privately-owned company offers year-round leagues for men, women, boys and girls.
Project Details
The Arena Soccer Park in Orange features two artificial turf fields. One is a regulation-sized “indoor soccer” field with full-sized goals that cater to both adult and club teams as well as a mini field for super fast 4-on-4 adult action and youth play. Each field is equipped with stadium seating and night lighting.
Chester Holt, manager for Arena Soccer Parks, chose California Ultimate Turf over three other artificial turf providers to replace the original 14-year-old Astro Turf at the Orange soccer facility. Holt purchased TigerTurf 45M, a durable athletic surface that is well suited for multi-purpose fields and weighs 45 ounces per yard.
Doug Coulter, founder and chief executive officer of CUT, said the project included several key steps: removing the old turf; repairing the asphalt subsurface; filling in the surface with concrete; removing the old asphalt and turf; installing the new TigerTurf product; and anchoring the new turf to prevent rolling.
Coulter also serves as the captain of the TigerTurf Football Club, a team of 10 men who play soccer on Monday nights at the Arena Soccer Park in Orange during the Winter and Fall Leagues. Five of the TigerTurf Football Club players are employed by CUT.
Client and Player Comments
Holt said he is extremely satisfied with TigerTurf and CUT, adding: “I don’t think I could have gotten anything else better. The price, quality of the product, workmanship and ease of maintenance are everything I expected they would be.
“Going with California Ultimate Turf was a no-brainer,” Holt commented. “I liked the backing and the blade structure of the TigerTurf product. I also liked that the California Ultimate Turf team members did all of the work themselves and did not hire subcontractors. I appreciated the way the staff presented themselves, turf samples, their Website, and information in their newsletters. Honestly, between the TigerTurf Website and the CUT Website, all of my questions were answered well before I talked to any sales and customers services representatives.”
Holt said that he originally had planned for the park to be closed for field renovation for only two weeks, but heavy rain caused the park to be unavailable for four weeks. Yet, league play at the Orange facility began on schedule. Holt reported that total playing time on the new fields has increased to 60 hours per week versus 38 hours of play before the TigerTurf revamp.
Eric Ebert, a member of the TigerTurf Football Club who played with Major League Soccer Teams Houston Dynamo during the 2007-2008 season and Chivas USA during the 2008-2009 season, commented about the condition of the new fields: “The TigerTurf surface allows for better play than a natural surface. The surface is even and has no holes. And the artificial turf surface isn’t as hard as a natural surface is. Players feel better knowing that the field conditions are more consistent and safer.”
