Synthetic grass is a type of artificial turf that provides natural grass's look, feel, and performance without all of the maintenance. Synthetic grass has several advantages to real grass: Fire resistant, stain-resistant, UV-reflective, and mildew-resistant! The drawbacks include that it can be quite hot to the touch; cleaning and removing stains from synthetic turf may be difficult; it can be slippery when wet, posing a safety hazard.
