Synthetic Grass
Syntehtic grass, artificial grass, faux grass, they are all the same, a synthetic material that is made to look and feel like grass and is used most commonly in residential yards and sporting facilities.  Synthetic grass is stronger than natural grass and is also resistant to the things that plague natural grass.

Synthetic grass first surfaced back in the 1970's when used for many sporting facilities as it was known to be easy maintenance and less injury and from there we have since seen its quality improve and now overtaking the residential market. As families become busier and the environment changing, synthetic grass has fast become popular due to its low maintenance and water saving qualities.

To reach that natural look and feel real look, they have been combining synthetic substances with materials such as sand and rubber.  Synthetic grass has also been found to be an excellent choice when living in temperatures that are extremely cold as it still maintains it's great look, it's also great for those areas that have poor soil conditions whereby it is hard to grow grass, synthetic lawn can be laid and you get that great look that you are after.  As the years have gone by, synthetic grass has continued to improve its quality, with many sporting facilities slowly upgrading from the old to the new synthetic grass.

Synthetic grass is ideal for those people or family that just don't have the money and time to maintain natural grass; synthetic grass doesn't require watering or fertilising making it and easier and healthier option. Many childcare centres and childrens' playgrounds are seeing the use of synthetic grass as it is low allergenic which is great as many children can be allergic to natural grass.

Many landscaping your front yard or backyard, there are so many alternatives to consider, grass is not the only option, but if you are particularly looking for that lawn look, why not consider synthetic grass, it's great for those hard to reach spots and frees up your time on the weekend so you can spend it doing something you love doing.
