There are many uses for artificial turf or synthetic grass, from athletic playing fields to residential lawns. Its convenience factor and the fact that it’s simple to install makes it an ideal choice for many home projects as you can easily install it to improve the appearance of your home’s garden, requiring very little maintenance afterward it has been installed. The appeal is much greater for those with pets and young children, making a clean and safe play area. Today we’re going to consider five interesting new uses for artificial turf that allow you to get creative with it.

Patios

Artificial grass can create a garden area as if by magic. If you have a small garden without any greenery, this product can make all the difference. It may also be the case that your home doesn’t have a garden at all, but if you live in a flat or apartment with a balcony, you can really make the most of the area by installing some artificial grass. This is easily achieved as AstroTurf can be cut to fit areas of almost any size.

Landscaping

Landscaping refers to the altering of land for aesthetic reasons, and what better way to put the finishing touches by using artificial grass? You can apply it to the ground to be used as a lawn, or alternatively you could use the various different styles and shades to form small areas that are set apart from the main space, for example by adding a table and chairs in a certain spot. Artificial turf could also be cut in strips to create either a straight or curved path, or a stepping stone effect could be made by cutting out squares or circles. There’s really no limit to the creativity you can explore through cutting the grass into a particular shape or design, highlighting features in your garden such as a sundial, statue, or bird bath. It can also be used to make borders and outlines within the garden.

Recreational Areas

It is not only the easy of cleaning and safety aspect of artificial grass that makes it idea for creating exciting recreational areas, but it is available in different colours and can be easily cut into a desired shape. This meals it perfect for creating various patterns and designs. For example, it could be used to make game boards such as chess, play areas, and featured spots for activities, such as making smooth putting greens, if this is suitable for the area being installed in, and if there’s enough space. Synthetic grass can create unique, fun areas perfect for playing in for both adults and children.

Carpeting

As well as covering outdoor areas, it’s also possible to use artificial grass for indoor carpeting. Working just like a short pile carpet, it is easily cleaned, and can even be vacuumed. You can even use it in basements, where it offers a special feel and texture. Whether a public or private swimming pool or hot tub, artificial grass can be used as a non-slip surface. Not only does this create a wonderful tactile feeling when stepping into it, but it can also help to avoid injuries or scary sliding incidents. You could even make throw rugs out of synthetic turf to make a fun feature in a bedroom, play area or family room. Giving a small taste of the outdoors, you get the same look and feel of natural grass without the hassle.

Seating

Another great idea for using artificial grass is with seating. It can be used to make Seat cushions for any lawn furniture or picnic tables you may have in your outdoor space, as well as providing cover on benches and small tables. Once in place, artificial grass can stay in place throughout the year without any need for the kind of maintenance required for natural grass. Extremely durable, it will remain vibrant in colour, and all that may be needed is the occasional brushing or fluffing. You could even take your new seat cushions with you to sit on wherever you go.
