Why Artificial Grass For Sports?
To maintain a consistent performance in sports, the grass has to be the same for every game or event. This means regular mowing and maintenance that can be cumbersome and expensive. But that’s not the only reason more and more professional athletes are choosing artificial grass for their practice and game areas. Here are some key reasons why they find fake grass superior to natural grass.
Safety
Safety is always a top concern, no matter the age of the athlete. Games played on artificial grass typically result in fewer injuries, thanks to the padding that is added under the grass surface. This padding provides better shock absorption than natural grass and dirt do. Many athletes find their feet don’t hurt as bad after playing on a synthetic surface in comparison to natural grass, too.
Versatile & Durable
Artificial grass fields can be set up to host a wide variety of sporting events, not just one sport specifically. You’ll see this frequently on college fields, where multiple lines of different colors are used for each sport. And because active sports turf is created to handle heavy foot traffic, you can count on it to last for years to come.
Better Playability
Grass that is always the same length will offer a better game. This is because it allows players and sports equipment to move faster. Consistent length will help athletes to become more agile in their movement and lessen the chances of them tripping on long spots in the grass.
Eco-Friendly
Fake grass is a fantastic option to eliminate the need for hundreds of thousands of gallons of water each year because you’ll only need to periodically rinse the turf. Periods of drought won’t cause the turf to need constant watering. Fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides won’t need to be used either.
