By
definition the word 'turf' has more than one meaning. It can be grass
of the natural or artificial kind. Natural grass - occurs in many places and is well established for use in sport and leisure as seen in: gardens ~ sports fields ~ soccer pitches ~ racecourses ~ golf courses ~ roadside verges ~ city parks Artificial turf - is manufactured not only as a replacement for natural grass but for a whole range of applications for which natural grass doesn't have as good properties. Some of these include: |
| artificial
sport turf - providing all year round usage, consistency of playing surface
and savings on maintenance costs for soccer pitches, tennis courts, hockey
pitches, cricket wickets, etc * Advantages of artificial sports turf * |
| synthetic display grass used at exhibitions and in shopping malls where it's durability and visual appeal bring many benefits |
| landscaping turf for artificial lawns and play area projects, providing low maintenance and durability and the additional benefit of saving on water (a big environmental issue) |
| for city parks, synthetic grass verges, roadsides, shopping centres and car park islands - again low maintenance, durability and attractiveness are all key factors |
| for the arts where it's ideal for use on stage, in movies, tv commercials and promotional videos - the main point here being that artificial turf can be produced in different colours - red, blue, orange, etc |
