Artificial grass is a versatile material that can be used in a number of different ways – for the home and garden, commercial use, business, events and both indoor and outdoor spaces.
We spoke to the experts at Evergreen artificial grass and came up with 10 ways that synthetic turf can be used to create something great.
- Gardens
The most common application for artificial grass is for gardens. Homeowners are able to give new life to their outside space with vibrant, realistic synthetic grass to create a garden that is more practical, easier to maintain and looks great all year round. Artificial grass is ideal for garden areas such as;
- Front gardens
- Space around driveways and paths
- To replace areas of real grass that don’t grow well
- Space around ponds or swimming pools
- Around climbing frames
- Around washing lines
- Sports
Whether it’s for football, tennis, cricket or golf, artificial grass is extremely popular for a number of sports and is utilised by businesses, clubs and organisations to create the ultimate all weather surfaces.
Synthetic grass can be used for indoor putting greens, crazy golf, inside and outside football training areas, tennis courts, cricket pitches and many more.
- Playgrounds
For outdoor play areas it can be difficult to find a suitable surface that provides durability, safety and all weather use. High quality artificial grass can withstand the daily friction caused by children playing and has added benefits such as being easy to clean, not being hot to touch in warmer weather and it provides a cushioned surface that minimises the impacts of any falls to help make playtimes safer.
- Festivals
Obviously we are not suggesting that acres of fields are replaced with artificial turf but there are definitely areas that would benefit from using it such as food spaces, medical treatment locations and VIP areas. Not only is it easy to clean but it looks much better than mud or dead grass and provides a safer and more comfortable environment for everyone to enjoy.
- Indoor Fun
Synthetic grass is great for creating a cool indoor playroom or even a grown up games room and adds a unique texture in place of regular carpets or standard flooring.
- Gyms
Artificial grass not only creates a versatile, non-slip surface perfect for a multitude of exercises but the texture and bright colours are aesthetically pleasing, especially when gyms can often be very grey and dull.
Indoor workout spaces can use artificial grass to create adaptable gym flooring perfect for CrossFit, pulling and pushing weighted sleds and flipping tyres.
- Balcony’s, Terraces and Roof Gardens
Artificial grass is ideal for homes or businesses that wish to make the most of their outdoor space. Creating a roof top garden in a pub, bar or restaurant is a quirky and fun way to attract customers and create an all year round outside space that is easy to maintain.
- Offices
Whether it’s the main work area or just the break room – artificial grass is a great way to make offices more fun and help to create a more productive and relaxing environment. Staff are often cooped up inside all day, especially during the colder months, but with colourful synthetic turf you can bring a bit of the outside, in.
- Events and Exhibitions
Every year in the UK there are thousands of exhibitions and events of every type from homeware and furniture to food, fashion, crafts and everything in-between. Whether it’s indoors or outdoors – creating a space that make your stands or display unique is going to attract more people to come over and see what you have to offer. The grass can be used to create a fun, summer styled seating area for eating or drinking, a surface to try out your product or a colourful setting to help stand out from the crowd.
- Schools and Nurseries
Schools and nurseries have multiple areas that can be better utilised with the help of artificial grass. Not only is eat easy to clean, maintain and extremely safe but it helps to create a bright, vibrant and fun space for children to play and learn in.
