Keep grass green in the winter

Green grass during the winter months is made easy by painting dormant warm season grasses using Endurant colorant. As warm season grasses such as Bermuda, St. Augustine, Zoysia and Centipede go dormant, attaining green grass often requires either overseed or turf colorant. [caption id="attachment_239" align="alignleft" width="200"] Get eye-popping, natural green grass color all winter long. Reduce water and fertilizer usage.[/caption] Endurant turf colorant eliminates the need to over-seed lawns, golf courses and other grass areas while giving grass vibrant, natural-looking color throughout the winter. Overseeding with cool season grasses such as ryegrass is becoming less popular as the use of Endurant turf colorant continues gaining in popularity each year. The benefits of using Endurant turf colorant are numerous when compared with the traditional practice of overseeding with ryegrass. Endurant turf colorant eliminates the seasonal transition challenges caused when ryegrass competes with the existing grass for nutrients and sunlight in the spring. As the warm season grasses come out of their dormancy, turfgrass where Endurant was applied is healthier than overseeded turfgrass. These agronomic benefits are also seen aesthetically in the spring with healthier looking turfgrass when Endurant was used in the winter compared with overseed. Painting grass with Endurant turf colorant can also eliminate the need to mow the overseeded ryegrass throughout the fall, winter and spring months.   As environmental concerns continue to grow, Endurant turf colorant becomes an even better option. One of the best aspects of choosing turf colorant instead of overseed is that grass paints and lawn colorants prevent the need to over-fertilize and over-water the overseeded ryegrass lawns, golf courses and grass areas. These add up to big savings economically as well. Check out this blog on the economics and savings using Endurant. Select the best shade of green grass color and buy Endurant now, click here.

Lawn paint, colorant, dye or pigment? Varieties explained

Lawn paint, colorant, dye or pigment?

What’s the difference?

When looking to turn your brown lawn to green grass, you have many options. Mostly you want a natural green lawn at a great price that is environmentally friendly and easy to maintain. Endurant turf colorant is lawn paint that provides natural, lasting, even green color for a vibrant lawn quickly and safely. The visual, aesthetic appeal of green grass does not require harmful chemicals or excessive water and fertilizer usage. Endurant turf colorants provides the optimal look without the economic and environmental expense. But what is Endurant turf colorant?

Not all green grass paints, colorants, dyes or pigments are created equally.

Variations in quality on the market today are what have made Endurant turf colorants and lawn paints standout as the choice among professionals and experts in the field of turfgrass management and growth. Turf professionals, event managers, golf course superintendents and athletic field supervisors have been using Endurant for huge televised events and elite golf course properties, among other uses, for many years. Endurant offers high quality while also being affordable and easy to use for home lawns. Endurant turf colorants and lawn paints cost much less than practices of overseeding, over-watering and over-fertilizing. Often the words lawn paint, turf colorant, grass dye and turf pigment are used interchangeably but actually the terms have different meanings technically. Endurant green grass paints and lawn colorants are the optimal choice for green grass. Endurants superiority is best understood by understanding these terms:

Pigment, paint, colorant and dye defined:

Paint:

A combination of a pigment, a vehicle or base such as water, a binder and a surfactant.

Dye:

A reactive product that responds to the surface it is used on based on whether each have positive or negative charges. Dye is a water soluble and ionic substance. Dye is generally used in water, turning all of the water the color of the dye and then the object to be colored is submerged into the dye. For practical purposes, a dye in this sense is not used on a surface such as grass, which cannot be submerged into dyed water the way a fabric could be. Application of dye on grass is inconvenient and inconsistent. Spraying a dye would lead to very uneven coloring results.

Colorant:

A general terms used for anything that applies color, including paint, dye, pigments or any other substances that add color to an object.

Pigment:

The dry substance used to create paints and other colorants.

Endurant is a colorant. More specifically, Endurant is a paint.

We often think of paint for walls or canvas, but Endurant grass paint is made specifically to adhere evenly on grass. Endurant is a water-based paint that contains pigment.

Here’s why Endurant turf colorant and Endurant green grass paint is exactly what you want for turning brown, dormant, dead or patchy uneven colored grass to natural, evenly colored green grass that is vibrant, natural-looking and lasting:

• Endurant is made with organic pigments. These pigments are selected for superior quality so that when fading occurs, as occurs with all colorants exposed to weather and elements over time, Endurant fades evenly and on tone. Endurant stays green due to the high quality pigments used. Lower quality pigments often fade to blue. Endurant on the other hand retains its natural green color over time.
• Unlike a dye, such as food coloring, a lawn treated with Endurant during heat and direct sunlight will not burn or be damaged by the frequent combination of dyes being combined with fertilizers—which also damage ground water and can cause environmental harm overtime.
• Endurant is a paint, which includes pigment, binders and surfactants so the color stays on the specific type of surface it was created for—grass blades. Endurant’s highly specialized binders are made for excellent adherence to grass surfaces specifically. These binders are made to penetrate the turf grass blade’s unique waxy, oily surfaces. Further the binders are enduring- they are specially formulated to last on turfgrass for weeks or even months depending on the frequency of mowing and rate of grass growth, among other factors.
• Endurant surfactants are specially designed so Endurant spreads evenly on the grass blades and lawn. This even coverage is essential to Endurant’s superiorly natural look.
• Dye, such as food coloring, would work by dying the soil and the roots of the plant, but would not adhere to the grass surface. Dyes are often mixed with fertilizer, to help green the grass and over fertilizing contributes to contaminated water and stressing grass during heat. Most of all, dyes do not look natural on grass because they cannot produce consistent, reliable results.
• Lawn dye, when the word dye is used technically in the way described above, does not create a natural green grass color and can produce quite inconsistent results.
• The high quality nature of Endurant’s binders, surfactants and pigments make Endurant colorants the number one choice for turf professionals, sod growers and especially home lawns. Endurant provides instant curb appeal and a gorgeous look at a fraction of the environmental and economic costs of over-watering and over-fertilizing.

Grass paint gets great reviews from local golf course.

[caption id="attachment_93" align="alignnone" width="640"] Endurant grass paint being applied on a golf tee[/caption] "Looks like overseed!" Georgia Golf Course Paints Fairways, Greens and Tees with Endurant liquid overseed. Members and Staff discuss the RESULTS of the NEW PAINTED GREEN GRASS for playability, visual appeal and overall characteristics when compared to traditional overseeding practices.

What golfers, superintendents and golf instructors are saying about using Endurant grass paint for painting dormant greens

Golfer and club member, Sam:

"The green paint contrasting with the dormant Bermuda grass is amazing. It looks like real live grass. It's like summertime out here. It's like playing in Scotland without paying $5,000 to get to Scotland."   "From a golfer's perspective, to have contrast, to have a focal point for your drive, it's really helpful because otherwise, without that, you might go left or right or whatever. But the fact that you can line up from the tee to the fairway given the contrast between the brown dormant Bermuda grass and the green Endurant, just makes for a great visualization and experience." 

Golf Course Superintendent, Nathan:

"The first thing I see when I step out on the property now are these green fairways instead of the brown Bermuda grass. The color is very natural. That is one of the areas of skepticism I had, is how is it going to look? Right off the bat, I could tell this was the result we were looking for."

"When golfers pull up and step out of their cars they are amazed at the sight of the fairways being green. They stepped out of their cars and were just in awe at the transformation of this place." 

Golf professional and instructor, Jeff:

"Compared with overseeding for so many years, for 23 years, painting turf relieves the challenges seen when overseeding and transitioning from the spring to the summer. The transition time with overseed takes time and getting the mowers out there and using them during the winter, our labor costs were relatively high with overseed." "We decided not to go with overseeding at all and it was kind of plain looking out there with the dormant grass. With this Endurant product, you're able to see the landing areas where you want to go."

"It actually looks like overseed-- a little better than overseed because it's not spotty in places as you often see with overseed."

"The course is playing a little faster. You're not seeing the ball stick as much as in an overseeded fairway. You're seeing more roll out. You're seeing bigger drives. People are enjoying the game a little better. They have targets, specific targets they can hit to. They're not questioning whether they're in the rough or in the fairway. They know they're in the rough. They know they're in the fairway because the Endurant turf paint defines it." 

"I think this is going to be a bigger trend. I think you're going to see the cost of overseeding and the maintenance is going to be eliminated by using this Endurant product."
