With fake grass gone for attractive makeover in recent past, it is no longer considered as the bad toupee on your land. The artificial grass manufacturers have introduced a variety of yarns to make a turf that is less shiny and looks more natural.
In the last few years, use of artificial grass for landscaping or kids bedroom carpet has increased by manifolds. According to an authentic source, residential use of commercially produced grass has increased by more than 35% in the last couples of years. That might be put down to the fact that the latest offerings in this regard produce a more natural charm. Among other possible reasons for choice switchover from natural turf to artificial variety, the most mention-worthy point is synthetic installation requires little maintenance with no need of regular mowing and watering.
There are plenty of options when it comes to using synthetic turf. The homeowners can have a spread of artificial grass in front of their house, in the backyard, on the roof and many other places where such installation can add to the beauty of ambience. Even you can install the fake green around the swimming pool. Some companies manufacture curled fibres to simulate natural covering. The grass height too varies a lot and you should make a purchase what suits the area and comes easy on your pocket.

Different Types of Yarns

We have mentioned earlier, the yarns too are available in multiple varieties. The synthetic-grass makers are, nowadays, using a much improved quality yarn which produces low lustre. Their skinnier blades are softer, offering the same look and feel of natural green. And you don't have to spend much of time and effort for their maintenance.
Occasional cleaning is the minimum requirement to retain their freshness. And they are durable, lasting for 15-20 years despite frequent foot abuse. That is the reason why artificial Turf is spiking in popularity since its coming into being in 70s. However, at that time, its use was restricted only to sports arena but a decade ago it was introduced for the residential bracket and became a big hit there.

The weight of the fibres every square yard is a crucial parameter to measure the quality. Face weight of astro turf ranges between 40 ounces to 93 ounces. High-quality turfs designed for resident use have 80-93 ounce face weight.
