The Best Artificial Grass

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

Man loves a natural environment and wants his home to be surrounded by well-manicured lawn. But due to constraint of time and funds, he cannot really look after the maintenance of his lawn. So his best option is the use of artificial grass.
Artificial grass or synthetic turf, is a man-made (something made by humans) surface made from synthetic materials, made to look like natural grass. It is most often used in arenas for sports that are normally played on grass. However, it is now being used on lawns and in commercial applications.

The benefits from using artificial grass:

  • You don’t have to mow it
  • It has low maintenance
  • With landscape amenity
  • When taken care of, can last a lifetime

You would naturally choose the best artificial grass. It must possess outstanding durability, safety, resiliency and value. If it is used as a sports arena, consider what a typical field surface might be subjected to. It must be designed to survive the rigors of high traffic, aggressive sports play and many endure annual festivals and events that outdo any part.

There are three main factors to look for the best artificial grass qualities:

  1. First of all, you look at the quality of the yarn (PE, PP, Nylon)
  2. Look closely at the face weight of the yarn (how much yarn there is)
  3. Consider the quality of the backings

The best artificial grass is made by reputable sources. It has a 90 oz. face weight product with a premium non-in filled yarn and 40 oz. backings. So the total weight is 130 oz. Its backings and yarn are premium quality and the thatch (simulated shorter grass) is polyethylene and nylon.
The best artificial grass will last a lifetime if it is given good maintenance and care.
