In situations where natural grass is very expensive and difficult to maintain artificial turf is the best option. In the middle of twentieth century artificial grass had came into existence and it has gone through various changes to come to the present day requirements. In the 1960's the Monsanto Company became involved in developing a product that "looks and acts like a grass". It had been created after doing a lot of research as to why normal grass behaved the way it did. In spite of various obstacles and discouragement of the company's engineer the first artificial sports field was born in Providence Rhode Island. The world's fully closed stadium the Houston Astrodome had attracted the global market and the "artificial grass" had become very popular during this period.
Astro turf which is a synthetic grass that was made from PVC like material tends to spiky and plastic like feel, in addition it also appears to be shinier and lighter. When compared with the new artificial grass Astro Turf which is the oldest invention was not so soft and it varies a lot from natural grass and some of the functional attributes in modern artificial grass including infill and a highly effective drainage system are not available
Many changes were undertaken throughout the decades which helped artificial turf to evolve into a very realistic and technologically advanced alternative to real grass. All these changes had made the artificial turf more durable, realistic and functional which can be used for several other purposes. The use of infill give a different experience when walked on, as well as helping to keep grass blades upright. The granules present in this artificial turf allow liquid and water to drain without blocking it. It comprises of very compact layer which provides the cushioning effect. This cushioning effect is very essential especially for households with kids and pets.
More and more technological advancement had introduced modern synthetic turf, which is of polyethylene and polyurethane composition. It is much more natural and also looks like real natural grass. While walking, you feel more comfortable and you won't feel any prickly or sharp feeling which is quite common in the olden artificial grass system. In short we can say that the modern artificial grass is sometimes undistinguishable from regular grass in appearance. In addition to all these features it had been provided with UV protection and other added strength, allow this modern grass to withstand heavy sun exposure, some acidic liquids and even pet urine will not affect them.
This synthetic grass also provided with modern drainage system which allows liquid to penetrate through the grass in all directions. With such an innovative system there will be no blockages which thereby decrease the bug infestation, bacteria and spores. The evolution of artificial grass with all these modern technologies has taken a significant progress in the industry and it proved that modern synthetic grass is the advanced lawn system which require only minimal maintenance and comprise full of impressive feature.
