Younger homeowners may not remember but a lot of folks recall seeing the artificial grass laid in football and baseball stadiums in the 1960’s and 1970’s. It was a terrific new technology that saved time and money on mowing, weeding, edging, and general maintenance. However, like all new technology, DIY artificial grass had a long way to go. In the past, you could spot artificial turf a mile away. And while it was more durable than grass, it wasn’t enough.
Fast-forward about half a century and the world is a different place for artificial grass. New formulas and manufacturing techniques have added to the beauty, softness, durability, and overall appeal. For the same reasons as existed previously, artificial grass makes a lot of sense. for homeowners and commercial property owners. New compounds with silicon and recycled rubber are much more durable and simulate traditional grass with less deterioration due to sunlight or high temperatures.
