Lawn Solutions Australia's video: Importance of lawns for health and well-being with Charlie Albone

Lawns do a number of wonderful things for us, they create a place where memories are made, they offer the perfect finishing touch to a new house or renovation and they give us all a place to relax and unwind when we need it most. Further to this however, lawns and green open space offer so much more when it comes to our general health and well-being. Grass provides us with a beautiful, soft area where we can exercise and get active with our friends and family which does wonders for our physical health and bonds a family or friendship groups together whilst keeping everyone entertained. It is scientifically proven that lawns and grassed areas help to relieve stress, boost immunity and improve people’s overall mental well-being. Lawns reduce noise, heat and dust which has a wide range of health improvements for your ears, skin and allergies. Even lawn care activities such as regular mowing are a great form of exercise for people of all ages, as well as making people feel much better about themselves and their homes. Environmental Benefits of Lawn A huge factor about having a lawn in your backyard or having a nice large grassed area in a public space is the huge environmental benefits associated with lawns. Lawns trap and store carbon dioxide and release fresh oxygen into the air. The average sized lawn absorbs more carbon and releases more oxygen than the world’s largest tree. Lawns reduce erosion from storm water run-off, improve soil qualities and have a cooling affect similar to what an air conditioner would outdoors.
