Artificial grass is made of polyurethane strips and looks very much like real grass. It is laid on a strong long lasting backing material. It is also known as synthetic grass and initially called astro turf but with significant technical advance, synthetic grass or fake grass is now extremely safe and very realistic.
There are several uses for artificial grass. It can be used in business and residential premises, and sport fields. Artificial grass will reduce cost and maintenance and there are no health risks. For domestic or business use, fake grass will be safe for children and pets while brightening up unsightly garden space and look very much like natural grass and feel good to the touch. Children allergic to grass can safely play on an artificial grass surface. If you are worried about pets, be assured that any pet waste can be removed with household cleaner and a garden hose because the draining system allows effective soak away.
Tennis, lacrosse and golf are the sports where artificial grass are more commonly used in several countries and there are significant saving for parks, recreational facilities, schools and universities that use synthetic grass. This is because there is no further cost because little maintenance is needed as watering and mowing are no longer necessary.
