From interviews with professional landscape contractors (each with six to nine years experience installing big rolls) came to the following list of Big roll Installation Benefits:

• Increases profitability – allows taking on more and bigger turf installation jobs without increasing the number of work hours per year

• Requires fewer workers-half (or fewer) the number of workers are needed, compared to installing standard rolls or slabs

• Reduces physical labor- changes turf installation from an all-manual task to a mostly mechanical process requiring significantly less physical ability (workers are more likely to show up the next day)

• Results in better looking finished product- fewer seams, trimming or edges drying out, fewer cracks for weeks to grow through

• Enhances landscape contractor/turf producer relationship-the necessary cooperative effort increases the mutual understanding and appreciation of each other’s needs

• Allows almost immediate use of athletic and sports fields – thicker and wider cuts, and less seams provide established playing field in minimum time
