Advantages of Natural Grass

Advantages Synthetic Lawns

In today's generation lawns can be natural and synthetic. Natural grass grows in many places mainly depend of the climate condition and maintenance.  However, synthetic lawns are made to simulating natural grass with a great variety of looks and density for specific applications. For your best interest we list below some benefits and disadvantages of synthetic turf and natural grass

SYNTHETIC LAWN VS NATURAL GRASS

  • Evergreen all seasons!
  • Reduce water consumption and eliminates the use of pesticides.
  • Weeds cannot pass through
  • Recycling friendly Artificial lawns provide uses for recycled tires
  • Less expensive to maintain than natural turf
  • Provides many more hours of use
  • Great solution when the environment is particularly hostile to natural grass, like arid environment, little natural light, snow etc.
  • Artificial turf can withstand significantly more use than natural grass and can therefore be used much more frequently. This allows sports ground owners to generate more income from their facilities.
  • Ideal on vacation homes when maintenance of lawns is not practical. It is also a solution for elderly home-owners who find the upkeep of lawns too much hard work.
  • Some artificial turf systems allow for the integration of fiber-optic fibers into the turf. This would allow for lighting or advertisements to be directly embedded in a playing surface, or runway lighting to be embedded in artificial landing surfaces for aircraft.
  • Free your time from gardening do what you love to do!

 

  • Grass surfaces are resilient, renewable, water-permeable
  • Reduce noise levels and improve air quality
  • Potential for long life, with proper maintenance.
  • Les expensive to install than simulated grass



 

  • Natural turf can die.
  • Real grass beats down easily and dries slowly - limiting playing time
  • It is expensive to maintain including expenditures of water, lawn chemicals, gasoline farm owners and extensive hand labor
  • A lot of water consumption.


 

  • Some artificial turf requires infill such as silicon sand and/or granulated rubber. Some granulated rubber is made from recycled car tires. Alternative sources of infill may provide a safer solution.
  • There is some evidence that periodic disinfection of artificial turf is required as pathogens are not broken down by natural processes in the same manner as natural grass. Despite this, a 2006 study suggests certain microbial life is less active in artificial turf.
  • Friction between skin and older generations of artificial turf can cause abrasions and/or burns to a much greater extent than natural grass.  However, some third-generation artificial grasses almost completely eliminate this risk by the use of polyethylene yarn.
  • Artificial turf tends to retain heat from the sun and can be hotter than natural grass with prolonged exposure to the sun. This can be reduced by the application of water prior to use of the playing field.
  • Line markings for differing sports are sewn into artificial turf, making line markings permanent. In most cases with natural grass, line markings can be painted on with temporary paint and removed (washed away) or it dissipates with rain or general irrigation. turf does have its downside: limited life, periodic cleaning requirements,
  • Life  of  turf are 10 to 15 years
  • Initial investment of synthetic turf is much higher than natural grass
