Turf Definitions
Natural & Artificial
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

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
