Fake Grass.
Fake grass is also known as artificial grass. It looks very much like real grass and it is made of polyurethane strips and laid on durable backing material. Initially it was called astro turf and with significant advance in technology, artificial grass or fake grass is now very realistic and extremely safe.
Synthetic grass is used in several ways. Fake grass can be used in residential and business premises, and sporting facilities. They are specifically developed to reduce maintenance and cost and there are no health risks.
When used for business or domestic premises, artificial grass will be safe for children and pets while brightening up unsightly garden space and look very much like natural grass and feel good to the touch.
Children allergic to grass can safely play on an fake grass surface. If you are worried about pets, be assured that any pet waste can be removed with a garden hose and household cleaner because the draining system allows adequate soak away.
Synthetic grass has replaced grass in lacrosse, tennis, and golf for some time in USA, Europe, Australia etc. Recreational facilities, schools, parks and universities that have artificial grass installed, significantly reduce money spent on maintenance as watering and mowing are no longer necessary.
Environmental experts say fake grass is damaging the planet as grass in lawns forms part of the important chain that converts carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas into oxygen but this is not the complete story.
In fact, by installing fake grass lawn, you are actually reducing your carbon footprint. Statistics show that mowers, other lawn machinery and the chemicals used could cause as much as 8% of global warming.
Installing fake grass lawn dramatically reduces the use of toxic chemicals, air pollution by emission, and water usage.
In USA, the amount of households that use herbicides, fertilisers and pesticides has reached 98 million. In fact, annually 210 million tons of pesticides, 90 million pounds of herbicides and 1.2 million tons of fertilisers are used.
Pesticides used on lawns can cause liver, kidney and neurological problems. In addition, it can increase the risk of cancer, suppress the immune system and increase susceptibility or trigger asthma.
Synthetic grass was introduced in the 1960s. It was used on sport fields and the Houston Astrodome was built in 1965. Now you will see artificial grass lawns in business, domestic and recreational areas.
There are significant benefits. You save time and money. You enjoy your lawn instead of spending time tidying it. No more toxic chemical to use. Lawn mover and other lawn tools are no longer necessary, thereby saving on purchase and maintenance. The surface remains tough, durable yet comfortable in all weather conditions and use.
In times of drought and hose pipe bans, while your neighbour’s lawn look worn out and brown, yours will remain lush and vibrant.
Having an artificial lawn does not mean you are adding to global warming. You are reducing greenhouse gases because there is no longer release of methane from decomposing cut grass or greenhouse gases from mowers or other machinery.
The significant benefits of having a synthetic grass lawn, is why more and more people are changing from grass and all the problems with maintenance to artificial lawn.
