Albuquerque, NM (PRWEB) August 31, 2011

ForeverLawn, the leading artificial turf company, installed a premium synthetic grass bocce court in New York's Times Square last week as part of the New York City International Film Festival. ForeverLawn partnered with BocceNation.com to construct an interactive bocce court in the bustling city location, where festival participants, tourists, and locals could play and learn about the centuries-old game. The ForeverLawn bocce court was constructed adjacent to the outdoor movie screening area, where 220 films from 27 countries aired during the festival, which took place from August 19 - 25. The all-weather turf by ForeverLawn provided players with a soft, comfortable grass surface that was well-suited to the game of bocce and durable enough to withstand the heavy foot traffic in Times Square.

ForeverLawn is a great surface for bocce play. Its great looking, durable and is pretty much maintenance free," said John Lehmann, president of BocceNation.com. "We recommend ForeverLawn turf as an ideal bocce court surface for BocceNation.com bocce. Bocce balls roll true and the surface is comfortable to play on. These courts can be installed quickly and virtually anywhere enabling bocce to be played indoors, in urban areas or even in a backyard. ForeverLawn brings bocce to a bigger audience."

Bocce Grass by ForeverLawn provides and excellent surface for the game of bocce due to the unique construction and design of the turf. The grass features a dense blade structure with a textured thatch, in a unique, short blade construction that provides the right amount of resistance and surface tension for a realistic bocce ball roll and bounce. This new product provides the required cushioning needed to protect the bocce balls, which could crack or break on a hard surface like concrete. According to Lindsey Lehmann of BocceNation.com, other artificial turf products require additional padding to create the soft surface needed for a bocce court. "The ForeverLawn product worked amazingly well on top of concrete, and didn't need any padding beneath it," said Lehmann. "The ForeverLawn court was comparable to a croquet lawn, which provides a suitable amount of resistance and a smooth roll."

ForeverLawn offers several high-end landscape turfs including one that is a DuPont product. DuPont ForeverLawn
