For landscape aficionados, the 21st century is time for artificial turf. Perfectly green, aesthetically pleasing, maintenance-free — and realistic landscape turf – was previously a fantasy. It’s now approaching reality with synthetic grass. It may remain nearly impossible to have immaculate landscape turf if your tastes are limited to natural grass. Only with non-stop maintenance – watering, fertilizing, weeding, reseeding and resodding – is it conceivable for a property owner to have landscape turf look great. But that’s the effort needed just to have a chance at keeping natural landscape looking turf in perfect condition … Mother Nature willing. The alternative choice for landscaping turf would be artificial grass. Landscape turf of synthetic grass never requires none of the usual maintenance (or, not at least during the expected 15- to 20-year life of plastic lawn) to stay green, because it’s not a living thing. The colors of artificial landscape turf are also more lifelike than previous generations. Today’s artificial landscape turf looks less like a man-made carpet, more like the real thing. Don’t call it Astroturf (the reputation of the yesterday’s fake lawn may affect artificial landscape turf forever. Modern landscape turf doesn’t have to look fake as a bad artificial Christmas tree either, because today’s synthetic lawns have the appearance and texture of natural grass.
