Artificial grass is a surface of synthetic fibers made to look like natural grass. Its suitability for decking surfaces cannot be overstated! Not only does it look great, but it will be less slippery than other types of decking surfaces. Artificial lawn also requires less maintenance over the years and is long lasting.
Advantages of Artificial Grass
Using artificial grass on your decking instead of things like tile, wood, or composite materials has many advantages. Synthetic grass is durable – it is exceptionally resistant to wear and tear. Think about it, if it can stand up to NFL football players and their use, it will be durable as your backyard decking material as well!
Artificial lawns are also beautiful, and always the perfect green no matter the season. Rain or shine this grass will not go brown. And in the summer sun, the color will not fade either.
Contrary to what you may think, artificial lawns can actually be very eco-friendly. Although they are made out of plastic materials in many cases, sometimes you can buy versions made from recycled plastics. Another way synthetic grass can be good for the environment is that they do not require watering the same way a real lawn does. That is why in so many drought stricken areas like southern California homeowners are turning to artificial lawns over real grass.
