Why choose artificial grass? - Home

Back in the early '60s, an American named David Chaney made his name, and possibly millions too, as the man "responsible for indoor major league baseball and millions of welcome mats", when he correctly predicted that there would be a market for his artificial grass. As it happens, his market predictions were vastly underestimated. Not long after, the newly built Astrodome in Houston Texas was the first sports field to be surfaced with artificial grass.Today though, artificial grass is everywhere - even where you might not expect it. Thanks to the benefits that come from it being so low maintenance, artificial grass has become the perfect solution for gardeners and architects who need to grass an area which, for whatever reason, can't support actual living grass. Whether that means it's indoors, underneath a roof that prevents sunlight from getting through, or in hot climates, homeowners and businesses realise the many varied uses for artificial grass.Whereas natural grass requires chemicals and fertilizers in order to keep it looking in good shape all year round, artificial grass of doesn't, so there is no danger to children or pets who might have accidentally came into contact with the substances doing so. There are no chemicals being washed into the water-table either; making it considerably better for the environment in many cases. Of course, for property management companies, maintaining gardens and outdoor space can be both a major expense and time consuming, but artificial grass can help reduce both of these easily and quickly.Sports fields were of course, one of the first beneficiaries of artificial grass and that trend continues to this day. Nowadays, however artificial grass can be used on not just "traditional" sports fields but also plenty of others from putting greens and golf mats to custom made logos for sports teams which take pride of place at their home.However, perhaps the most compelling reason for choosing artificial gras s over real grass is how it looks. Today there are literally dozens of different types of artificial grass available, each designed and created to emulate famous grass types. So wherever you are in the world, you can choose the type of grass you want for your garden, have it laid down, and then all but forget about it in terms of maintenance. In many hot countries, water can be of a premium, so there's no need to waste any in watering artificial lawns, and likewise a lot of time and effort can be saved in laying artificial grass as opposed to growing real grass.
