Artificial turf has become increasingly popular due to its low maintenance, long lifespan, and cost-effectiveness.

Water Savings

Installing artificial turf can reduce water consumption by up to 70%.

Environmental Considerations

Synthetic turf does not require fertilisers or herbicides. However, it is made from plastic materials.

Heat Retention

Artificial turf can become hot in direct sunlight.

Durability

Quality artificial turf can last 15-20 years with minimal maintenance.

Installation

Proper installation is crucial — includes excavating, laying aggregate base, installing weed membrane, and securing the grass.
