Artificial Grass and Specialist Sports Surfaces

Artificial grass and specialist sports surfaces, also known as artificial turf or astro turf, are surfaces that consist of synthetic fibres which are specially crafted to look like natural grass. They are commonly used in arenas and sports centres to offer an indoor or location for sport to be played on but are also commonly used in gardens and fields as a low maintenance alternative to real grass. Types of artificial grass and specialist sports surfaces includes short piles, monotone, two-tone, long pile and four tone. Artificial grass and specialist sports surfaces are used as a maintenance free solution to grass, particularly in the field of sport where grass can come under a lot of stress. It is especially beneficial in covered or doomed sports stadiums which might have difficulty getting enough sunlight for healthy grass.
