The idea of decorating rooftops with solar panels has been around for a while, but an international team of scientists came up with a new concept of using artificial grass to generate energy. Apparently, synthetic fibers can work as a miniature wind turbine, producing power for the home with every breeze.

Question: The homeowner’s association in my “planned community” does not allow artificial grass in my yard. What are my options?

Answer: You should point the administration of your HOA to a new extension AB 349 of the bill AB 2104 by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, D-San Diego. AB 2104 required a common interest developments to adopt a updated model ordinance regarding water-efficient landscapes that are effective in conserving water.

Genesis Turf Shock Pads

The US is back to shock pads. It is not just a European trend but a practical solution for sensitive applications. Genesis Shock Pads are the ultimate way to add safety and resilience to the artificial grass surface. In the sports industry, shock pads are often referred as an “insurance policy.” According to FIFA-endorsed regulations, the shock-attenuation testing (or G-Max) is recommended for every sports field. Genesis Shock Pads assist in achieving a set G-max rating. You may also want to consider our new shock pads in residential landscaping for three fundamental reasons:

1. Increased Safety and Softness
Shock pads help to prevent and or reduce injuries and traumas. While required for athletes and children, homeowners may love to feel smooth and delicate surface under their feet as well.

2. Less Infill – Higher Resilience
Infill can migrate on the turf surface. It happens more often in heavy traffic areas. Shock pads reduce the amount of infill (and subsequent infill splash) by lowering the height of the fiber pile and increasing the density of the pile itself. The concept of having shock pads inside infill itself had changed due to low shock-attenuation levels and extensive maintenance. Today, most business owners regard shock pads like just like an extra insurance.

3. Ideal For Putting Greens
8mm thick shock pads are perfect for putting greens. Easy to install, it reduces the amount of infill and improves consistent ball roll for putting and durability for chip shots. Want your clients to be happy with GO-PRO putting greens real game experience?
