Surprise, surprise. Artificial grass is more popular than ever, and is growing in popularity even as you’re reading this. In some countries, sales of synthetic turf are growing by 10 to 15 percent a year—and more and more people are using them in their own homes for dog runs, children’s play areas, roof decks, as well as other uses.

What exactly is artificial grass made of?

Artificial grass, or synthetic turf, is 100% man-made, synthetic grass appropriate for use for a variety of commercial, sports, and residential purposes. It’s made up of nylon or other synthetic filaments that are woven into a porous backing to let water through, and then placed on another layer, which is usually made up of gravel. It is then given a filler to give it enough weight to hold it down when the wind is strong. Some manufacturers of synthetic turf add a thatch layer for a more realistic look.

Regular grass requires a lot of maintenance in that you constantly need to water, trim, weed, fertilize and perform other procedures to take care of it, which requires you to hire additional manpower for the job.
