Artificial Turf Myths Decoded

There are a lot of myths about "Artificial Turf" or "Fake Grass" that you might have heard. So, we

thought that being experts and innovators in the field, we should help you to get correct information

and decode these common myths. This will help you to make a decision as to why you can opt for

Artificial turf instead of Natural turf.

Below listed are some common myths and the answers to the myth :

1. Fake Grass is very expensive.

Although a vast majority of the population is led to believe that fake grass is expensive, the real

answer is - It is NOT expensive. Think about the amount of money that you spend for the upkeep of

your natural grass - be it watering (water charges + irrigation facility cost), be it mowing (this needs

to be done regularly to keep your lawn looking nice) or be it replacement of the grass itself. On the

other hand, fake grass is virtually maintenance free - it does not need regular watering or mowing.

Also, the artificial turf can last much longer up to 20 years. So, overall it works out cheaper for you.

2. It is not safe for kids and pets.

This is a widely spread misconception. Artificial turf is actually safer for kids who like to play freely in

the lawn. It comes with a rubber base with a shock absorbing capacity that avoids all kinds of

injuries. Also, as there is no mud in this case, there is also no chances of bugs and insects that can

cause harm to your kids or your pets.

3. Pets can ruin Artificial Turf.

This is yet another myth. Synthetic turf is made up of highly durable fiber that can sustain a lot of

wear and tear. The synthetic grass is manufactured in such a way that it prevents stains and

discoloration over a period of time.

4. It does not give the same Natural feel.

For anyone who has used Artificial grass will be able to bust this myth for you straightaway. Natural

grass is much difficult to maintain especially in the fall and winter seasons. There could be patches

of yellow on your green lawn and if there is a draught or draught-like situation wherein you have a

serious water problem, your lawn seems to become uneven. On the other hand, the synthetic lawns

available today will remain Green and Fresh all year round. And believe us or not, our artificial grass

is softer than natural grass.
