New buildings are going green with faux foliage (artificial grass)

Those who live at the corner of Gaston Ave and Munger Ave in East Dallas would remember the 50-year old apartment building referred to as the Mandalay Apartments. It seems that there could be no hope to this tattered building. Thanks to the imaginative mind of Power Properties, it has now become one of the trendiest homes for young professionals in the region.

Renovating the Mandalay Apartments with faux foliage

As Braden Power of Power Properties has stated:

“With a little imagination and the right materials, it’s easy to create an enchanting eco-friendly, ‘drought-proof’ oasis on virtually any property — one that doesn’t require watering, pesticides, or continual maintenance.”

This is indeed what they did with the Mandalay Apartments. It has now:

>   wooden floors
>   marble bathrooms
>   high-tech fireplaces

Aside from this, it also has a revamped interior courtyard that features:

>  fountains
>  fireplaces
>  custom seating areas
>  swimming pools

However, it is the use of faux foliage (artificial grass) that has given these apartments attention.

Newly renovated Mandalay Apartment now referred to as The Greenhouse

“Simulated plants are very environmentally friendly,” says Power. “Insects aren’t attracted to them. Thus, there is no need to spray pesticides. There is also zero contamination of the soil and groundwater.”

“Fertilizer is not used. There isn’t a problem with nitrate runoff into nearby streams and lakes. When simulated grass is used, there is no monthly lawn service to pay for, nor is there any pollution from gasoline powered mowers, hedge clippers, or leaf blowers.”

This is probably the reason why the renovated Mandalay Apartment has been referred to as “The Greenhouse”. Some say that naming it this way is very iconic. But this is a better alternative rather than having no green in your room, right?

“People usually conjure an image of the artificial turf they use on football fields. But they don’t realize that there are hundreds of artificial grass options, varying in color, texture, density, and durability — similar to ratings of carpeting,” says Power. “There’s even a line with multi-colors and a ‘dead grass’ look at the base for realism, and it’s very soft on the feet.”
