Let’s talk about some random facts related to artificial turf – because it’s fun!

1. Astroturf is a Brand Name: Although Astroturf is often used as a general term for fake turf, it is actually a specific brand name. Originally patented as “ChemGrass” in 1965, it re-branded to AstroTurf after it was used at the Houston Astrodome Stadium the following year.
   
2. Hollywood and Major Sports Popularized Artificial Turf: In 1966, synthetic grass was installed on the baseball field at the Astrodome in Houston, setting a precedent for sports grounds across the USA. FIFA chose artificial turf for many pitches at the 2010 World Cup Games in South Africa. It’s even replaced the red carpet at several major Hollywood events, including the Latin Grammy’s and the Teen Choice Awards.
   
3. Artificial Grass is Made Similarly to Carpet: The way that fake grass is produced is very similar to the way in which carpet is made. In a way, artificial grass can be considered an outdoor carpet that allows water to drain through it.
   
4. Artificial Grass is Used in Global Sporting Venues: Artificial grass is already in use across several sporting venues across the globe. Although it is common across the USA, in many NFL stadiums, some of the top football stadiums in the UK also make use of artificial grass. 
   
5. You Can Put Artificial Turf Down on Nearly Any Surface: It’s simple to install synthetic grass on any surface, including pavers, concrete, and wood. Since artificial grass may be installed in place of natural grass, you don’t need to worry about your yard having the proper conditions for it. It implies that you can use natural grass to cover an area where you have weeds or other issues.
   
6. Synthetic Grass Won’t Fade for Years: Thanks to the way in which artificial grass is manufactured, which includes the use of UV inhibitors, this means that your lawn will stay lusciously green for many years to come. The UV inhibitors are incorporated into the yarning process, which means that each synthetic blade of grass will hold its colour for at least a decade.
