Now more than ever, it is widely known that artificial turf is the clear choice for sustainable landscaping, especially in drought-ridden areas like Orange County. Since its introduction in the 1960s, numerous studies have been conducted proving the effectiveness of synthetic turf, concentrating on its environmental impact.
However, despite the many advancements made in the production of artificial grass, disinformation about synthetic turf and the environment still runs rampant. These myths are rooted in misunderstanding and can easily be disproven with the correct information, allowing customers to make informed decisions when switching to artificial grass.
MYTH: ARTIFICIAL GRASS IS MADE WITH TOXIC MATERIALS
Artificial turf is, without exaggeration, the safest possible surface for your home or business. The best synthetic grass products, such as the ones found at Grizzly Turf, are made with exclusively non-toxic materials.
Much of the same can be said about infill, as well. From crumb rubber to silica sand, there are many infill options to choose from, depending on preference for safety and performance. However, regardless of the type of infill, they are all non-toxic and pose no threat to their users’ environment.
