With the popularity of synthetic grass on the rise, and its range of applications ranging from commercial to the home, most notably, the professional sporting arena where it first came into use, saying that more and more people are accepting the idea of using this option as opposed to natural grass would be stating the obvious.
With the advance of technology in this field, the options provided for artificial lawns are several too with the simplest option of all being the addition of infill. As it might not be a familiar term with those starting to show interest in this type of grass, it simply is sand or crumb rubber particles that are placed between the blades of grass to make it stand up, and hence, look natural to the naked eye. Also, it adds a degree of realism when walked upon.
However, infill is not really required in some situations if you are just building a lawn for aesthetic purposes and which does not need watering or maintenance. Folks who install artificial turf on balconies, decks or patio will find no use for this feature either and in general, lawns which are 500 square feet or lesser.
Based on the type of lawn you purchase and whether you opt for infill or not, the artificial turf prices will go up accordingly, so one must judge carefully what he or she really needs before buying artificial turf for his home or business.
