Artificial grass more commonly known as the artificial turf is actually made of the fibres of synthetic designed in a way to look like grass. The artificial grass is popular in the sports arenas which are traditionally played on the grass but with the introduction of the artificial grass, almost all the sports arenas around the world have used these in their grounds. The major reason for this is the maintenance since it is very difficult to maintain the natural grass for such big areas. Although little maintenance is required with the artificial grass as well but this does not take much time and is easily done.
Applications in sports:
The various sports such as the baseball, football, hockey, tennis, golf, rugby use artificial grass for the ground. The artificial grass is softer, dries up pretty quickly and therefore, games are not much delayed because the natural grass takes much more time to dry up after rain. The injuries on the natural grass are also serious and more because of the hard soil surface whereas it is not like this in case of the artificial grass.
Other applications:
Landscaping:
In many countries, artificial grass has become popular in commercial and residential properties landscaping in Surrey Hills as well because it gives the natural and fresh look of the natural grass with reduced maintenance. Not only this, but it does not need to be watered and therefore, areas where water is scarce, the artificial grass is the perfect solution. Although in some areas, the use of artificial grass is against the legislation because the area promotes the natural grass so that it could contribute in keeping the environment clean and green. Therefore, it is better to ensure the local laws to avoid all kinds of lawsuits.
Airports:
Since airports are indoor and the natural grass needs the sunlight and attracts wildlife therefore, it is not suitable for this but instead the artificial grass is best for providing a natural contrast and adds to the aesthetic of the place.
