Natural, living, healthy turf has multiple benefits. It’s the one surface that all of community enjoys and reaps benefits from. Recreationally around the home and in public open spaces, families love their lawns and parks and ovals. It has been proven that irrigated turf is natures most effective cooler in the urban environment. It’s the cooling carpet beneath the canopy. Turf supports trees to live longer and healthier by keeping ground surface heat down. Plastic isn’t fantastic, we all know that now. Hardscaping, especially plastic grass, contributes profoundly to heat island in our cities and towns. With climate change being of grave concern to community, it’s time we acknowledged that the only “cool” surface is natural turf. It’s wonderful for our children, our pets, youth, the elderly, literally everyone really. It’s naturally great for society. Stay cool, stay natural, bugger plastic. ![]()

Australia given serious health warning on climate change

Research monitoring the health impacts of climate change highlights the global emergency and the threat to Australians, warn University of Melbourne experts.
There are reports of an exponential increase in numbers of Cluster Caterpillar’s in turf, crops and other plants in the South West and perimeters of the Perth/Peel region. These caterpillars have previously only been found in the northern and tropical regions of Australia, originating from Asia. Cluster caterpillars are related to some of the armyworm species. They are named for the high density ‘clustering’ of its young larvae, which initially feed close to the hatched egg mass and may be confused with Helicoverpa larvae but are distinguished by the darkened areas behind the head (medium larvae), and rows of large dark spots. (Lawn armyworm (Spodoptera mauritia) also has rows of crescent shapes along the back but lacks the rows of dark spots along the sides.)![]()
