May 15, 2007, Jupiter, FL—Synthetic Turf International (“STI”), a global supplier of premium synthetic landscape grasses, synthetic putting greens and related synthetic surfaces has recently experienced a sharp increase in inquiries from South Florida homeowners and business owners, alike.  The calls and emails are from people interested in a synthetic turf landscape solution.  As the current drought worsens, more and more Floridians are entertaining the idea of a synthetic turf landscape grass.  These individuals are turning to a solution that has long been popular throughout the traditional drought states of Nevada, California and Arizona.

Our synthetic turf looks better that the real thing.”
