Synthetic grasses have come a long way over the decades. They look and feel more real, come in a variety of options, and can be applied in more ways than you may think. Add to this, if you’re not sure about the investment itself, you can save extra money by purchasing a recovered turf product.
1. Residential Landscape
This is probably the fastest-growing use for synthetic grass currently. Synthetic grass (artificial turf) is a great solution for a healthy green looking lawn in even the harshest of climates. It is a money-saving and environmentally friendly solution that is giving homeowners amazing looking landscapes – even in areas where grass will simply not grow.
2. Flooring
A different approach for this product has come in the form of a floor covering, or carpet. It has become an ideal solution, whether indoors or out, for high traffic areas where comfort underfoot, safety, and utility are the priority.
3. Concrete Spaces
Turning rooftops, balconies, and small patios into amazing looking micro landscapes is yet another use for synthetic grasses. This is an ideal product for these applications and is very DIY friendly.
4. Furniture
Covering seats and stools with synthetic grass is actually a thing. There are even eco-friendly companies repurposing used artificial turf for such applications. It can make for both a unique and comfortable covering that is easy to clean and install.
5. Play
Perhaps the longest standing use for artificial grass, sports play is definitely a top contender. In a residential setting, artificial grass can offer one of the best play surfaces you can install. Batting cages and playgrounds are just the starts, artificial turf for training and exercise are also great alternative uses. Whether preparing for the Iron Man or doing intense HITT training, a turf surface offers the traction, safety, and realism to keep you in top shape.
