What Is Synthetic Turf?
Synthetic turf is a man-made surface designed to mimic natural grass. It’s made from durable fibers that resist wear, fading, and weather damage. Unlike real grass, synthetic turf requires no mowing, watering, or fertilizing.
Although originally used for sports fields, modern turf is now popular in residential and commercial settings. It’s soft, realistic, and available in various textures and shades.
Benefits of Synthetic Turf for Homeowners

• Low maintenance No mowing, watering, or seasonal upkeep is required.
• Year-round greenery Turf stays vibrant regardless of weather or foot traffic.
• Water conservation Reduces water bills and supports eco-friendly landscaping.
• Pet-friendly surfaces Easy to clean and safe for dogs and other pets.
