As the name tells, artificial or synthetic grass is made from synthetic fibers and is mainly used in residential lawns, parks, gardens, or even in school playgrounds. Synthetic grass looks like natural grass but is way more beneficial than it.

For example, unlike natural grass, synthetic grass simply needs no water to grow and flourish. Artificial grass can simply be installed as a layer of flooring, and it stays that way all year long, unlike natural grass, which stays green only for half of the year. Also, natural grass requires mowing, pesticides, and vigorous maintenance checks. However, you can leave the artificial grass be, and it will serve you for long without asking for much.

Benefits of synthetic grass

Looks amazing: If you wish for a lush green lawn all year long, you should go for natural or synthetic grass. Synthetic grass is available in various colors and sizes, which you can choose as per your liking.

More durable: Natural grass is not meant to last for long. If something heavy passes over the grass, it loses its shape and flattens off, and sometimes the blades detach, disrupting the view. However, this is not with natural grass. Synthetic grass is more durable, can bear more weight than natural grass, and retains the shape even then.   

Nonallergic: Common allergies like hay fever can be caused due to natural grass. It can cause infections in humans and pets too, which is why spraying pesticides becomes necessary. But synthetic grass wins here as well. It’s non-allergic, and as there’s no mud involved, you need not spray any pesticides.  

Minimal care required: Natural grass needs regular water sprinkling, mowing, and pesticide spray. But none of this is required if you get synthetic grass installed by our professionals. Without spraying water, the synthetic grass can offer you lush green ground all year long, which is why it’s a better option. So, whether you need it for residential purposes or for a playground, you should definitely opt for synthetic grass.

Synthetic turf, similar to artificial grass, is mainly used for professional uses. For example, you can use synthetic turf in professional competitive sports fields, running areas, etc. Its non-toxic requires no maintenance and can stay there for long. Synthetic turf has shorter fibers than synthetic grass and also offers a fine texture. Also, synthetic turf is slip-resistant, which is why it is used on professional grounds. Synthetic turf requires no water or sunlight to grow and look green. It’s the reason synthetic turf is also used in indoor sports fields where there’s no sunlight.  

You can get synthetic turf installed over parks, playgrounds, and even on landscapes. It offers decent protection because it’s installed over layered rubber which absorbs the shock of the fall. It’s easy to install and stays intact for quite a long time.  Synthetic turf requires simply no maintenance, pesticides, or water to grow. So, if you’re thinking of installing this on a large ground, it can prove to be very effective for you. Also, as it stays green all year long, your effort will be significantly reduced.
