Introduction Artificial grass, sometimes called synthetic turf or fake grass, has grown in popularity due to its low maintenance requirements and durability. For some people, a perfect natural grass lawn is something that they are proud of and admire, but for many achieving and maintaining this type of lawn is just too much. This is where artificial grass comes into play. Initially designed for sports fields, synthetic turf is increasingly common in residential gardens too. This article will explore what artificial grass actually is, and the advantages and disadvantages associated with it, so you can make an informed decision about whether synthetic turf is suitable for your outdoor space.   What is Artificial Grass? Artificial grass was introduced back in the 1960s as “Astro Turf”. Since then, a lot of development has gone into this outdoor flooring type.
