Seeing your yard wash away,

	Stop Erosion
	From Ruining Your Property



	The Problem: Seeing your yard wash away, bit by bit, with every downpour.

	On a small scale--erosion is unsightly, unsafe and will reduce the value of your property, significantly. On a large scale--erosion causes serious environmental problems that could result in downstream neighbors or government officials bringing a law suit or other action against property owners who do nothing to stop erosion. If not corrected--erosion can expand to a major wash-out, with costs of repair increasing proportionally. Fortunately--there is an efficient, cost-effective and proven way to stop erosion.

	The Solution: Turfgrass Sod Stops Erosion Immediately

	Scientists have documented turfgrass sod as the most highly effective erosion control material available. Turfgrass sod, because of its high density of grass blades, thick root mass and total weight, stops erosion immediately, even on severe slopes where it may have to be pegged temporarily to keep it in place.

	Help is Available: Professionals Can Suggest the Best Sod for Your Area

	Local members of Turfgrass Producers International (TPI)--better than anyone else--can tell you which grasses grow best in your specific area and which will be most effective in controlling erosion on your property. And, they can provide professional advice on preparation, installation and maintenance. Check the TPI website (http://www.TurfGrassSod.org) for worldwide, searchable listing of its members. When using Yellow Page directories to locate turfgrass sod producers, ensure that you are talking to a professional turf producer by confirming that he or she is a TPI member.
