Artificial turf is also known as astro turf or artificial lawn. It is a man made surface that is manufactured from synthetic that is made to look like natural grass. It is often used in places that are meant for sports that are played on grass, although artificial turf is now even used on commercial and residential applications. The main reason as to why artificial turf is used, is because of the fact that it requires no special attention as artificial grass is more resistant to heavy usage and requires very little irrigation.The material was first used in 1965 when it was used in homes and by the 1970s the use of it was widespread. Very soon, most of the indoor and outdoor stadiums started installing this synthetic grass for grid iron football and baseball all over the United States and Canada.It is easy to install artificial turf indoors. The act is possible to accomplish technically, although it is to a great extent expensive. The outdoor counterpart is easy to maintain and this is owing to the maintenance costs, usually in cooler temperatures with the modern day cookie cutter stadiums like Riverfront Stadium, Cincinnati, Veterans Stadium, Philadelphia and the Three Rivers Stadium, Pittsburgh.Artificial Turf for Landscaping PurposesThe use of artificial turf for landscaping purposes began in the 1990s as previously the utility was restricted to the sports field. Athletic landscaping gave way to commercial landscaping and residential uses. This trend has 3 fold functions:* The variety and quality of synthetic grass has improved, * Water conservation organizations and cities have realized artificial turf as an important measure for ecological conservation, and it * Requires less care and maintenanceAdvantages of Artificial Turf* Artificial turf is best for the environment, especially when it is not acceding to natural grass. In fact, synthetic grass can be a good application in spaces ridden with arid environments or places where there is little natural light.* Artificial turf can withstand more use than natural grass and hence can be used more frequently. This is why the investors in sports grounds can make more and more income from their facilities.* Artificial turf is best to be used in holiday homes where lawn maintenance is not required on a regular basis. It is also ideal for elderly home owners for whom maintaining their lawn is a chore.* Synthetic turf is also an advantage for surroundings of swimming pools as well as roof top gardens.* Certain artificial grass systems make room for integrating fiber-optic fibers within the body of the turf. This is helpful as it allows for commercials or lighting to be embedded right into the playing surface or for allowing embedding of runway lighting in places like aircraft landing strips.However, in the sports application of artificial turf can cause abrasion injuries that may result in MRSA or Staff infections. Some of them may even require silicon fillings or granulated rubber made of recycled car-tires to further reduce this.
