As an alternative to traditional natural grass, artificial turf is rapidly growing in popularity,
but for many this topic remains a mysterious one. The confusion is understandable, as
there isn’t much information in circulation about artificial grass. Having said that, we’ll
answer some common questions that people have about these products.
Installation costs can be substantial, but what must
be kept in mind is that in the long run, artificial grass
tends to be less expensive than the natural kind.
As a synthetic product, artificial grass does not need
to be carefully tended to ensure that it remains in
good condition. You’ll never have to mow your
artificial lawn or spend money fertilizing it.
Sports fans are aware that many
stadiums use artificial turf. But
synthetic grass isn’t used just in famous
multi-million-dollar sporting facilities;
even a lot of relatively modest venues
use it as well.
Artificial turf lasts longer than natural
grass. It also does not deteriorate as
badly when exposed to adverse
weather conditions.
Zero. There’s no reason to water it because it’s not alive.
Contrast this with natural grass, which requires
substantial amounts of water to remain healthy.
Here’s another advantage of using synthetic materials in your lawn. Insects derive no
nutritional benefits from artificial grass. This means that they don’t eat it and,
therefore, will not ruin your synthetic lawn in their search for food. For that reason,
there’s also no need for pesticides.
If correctly installed, your artificial grass
lawn should last twenty years or more,
assuming normal use.
Keep in mind that, as a synthetic product,
your lawn doesn’t require ongoing
maintenance to ensure that it stays in
proper condition. You can leave it alone for
years without deterioration. This makes it
particularly advantageous for older persons
who have trouble mowing the lawn.
It’s generally made from
nylon, polypropylene, or
polyethylene materials.
There are also different styles
of turf for different
environments. You can
purchase grass specifically
made for golf courses,
playgrounds, or private lawns,
to mention a few options.
Certainly. The Synthetic Turf Council reports
that dozens of independent studies, including
ones from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission, have found artificial grass safe for
consumer use.1
Synthetic turf is also fire-resistant. During very
hot days, synthetic turf can become
significantly warmer than natural grass under
the same conditions, but for most this is a
manageable problem.

artificial grass lawns for commercial and residential customers.
