One of the biggest landscaping trends of the year is artificial turf grass. What is it? Is it a good alternative to a natural lawn? Here is some helpful information on what artificial turf grass is, installing turf, and how durable it is for your landscape.
What is Artificial Turf Grass?
First, we use the terms synthetic, artificial, and fake when referring to the turf we install. You might see these terms throughout our website and informational posts. What exactly is Synthetic Grass? It is artificial (or fake) grass made of several different materials. Think of it like carpet. In fact, the first artificial grass was called astroturf and made by a carpet manufacturer. More about artificial turf grass:
- High quality blades of grass woven to a backing material.
- Blades of grass are made of Polyethylene and are UV-protected to withstand the harshest weather conditions.
- Lush, life-like feel.
- Several styles to choose from: thick & lush, short & compact, and every thing in between.
- Many different color options.
- Designed for superior water drainage. Well-draining turf is extremely important. Slow-draining turf creates bacteria buildup and leads to odors. Our turf features a proprietary backing with 10 times faster draining than the next turf option – which is absolutely necessary in petscapes, pool landscapes, and anywhere water and odors might be an issue.
