ABC TV'S EXTREME MAKEOVER HOME EDITION SELECTS FIELDTURF FOR ECO-FRIENDLY TUCSON PROJECT
PEACHTREE CITY, GA – Extreme Makeover:Home Edition, the two-time Emmy Award-Winning ABC television show, has selected the new FieldTurf Lush with Ecobac product for an eco-friendly home project. The FieldTurf installation completed by Heavenly Greens/SPEC International will be completed in Tucson, AZ for the Bell family and is scheduled to air on March 22, 2009. The FieldTurf Lush with Ecobac product was chosen primarily for its ability to make significant contributions to the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building certification program - specifically in the areas of significant water, pesticides, fertilizer and maintenance reduction.
"We are honored to help the Bell Family and we are thrilled that Extreme Makeover:Home Edition chose the latest in synthetic turf landscaping innovation in order to complete their environmentally friendly project," stated Richard Spanjian, President of FieldTurf Tarkett's Greenscapes Division. "The featured backyard project by on-air designer, Eduardo Xol, was the ideal location to introduce our new FieldTurf Lush with Ecobac – our first low-infill 100% recyclable proprietary product, designed specifically for landscape applications. Unlike most synthetic turf surfacing solution on the market, this product is ideal for areas around pools or on rooftops. Our products not only look and feel like lush, green grass, 365 days a year ...we're even greener than we look!"
In addition to being long-time members of the U.S. Green Building Council, FieldTurf Tarkett is an approved allied member of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's GreenScapes program setting national standards for recycling and reuse.
All of FieldTurf Tarkett's synthetic turf products have major environmental benefits, including:
Beyond the significant and numerous environmental benefits, over 20,000 satisfied residential, commercial, municipalities, parks & recreation, government, aviation and military customers have chosen FieldTurf products for their natural look and feel, and unmatched durability-making it ideal for children and pets.
