Astro Turf the benefits
Astro turf originated about 60 years ago, it came into light through the installation in Major League Baseball stadiums.

Pet friendly
Astro turf is usually fine for pets. We recommended that there are no large rubber or sand infills that pets could ingest. For calmer pets that do not dig and explore outside often, most types of astro turf works well. For those that have pets and want to be extra safe, there are certain types such as the LazyLawn AIR range that keep your furry friends safe from infills and also naturally neutralises odours using UV rays.
Sporting usage
Astro turf is a significantly strong product, making it ideal for sporting events. The durable pitches installed ensure that matches can take place in more varied weather along with minimal damages. Individuals can also choose to fill their astro turf with sand that increases the durability to the high volume of foot traffic during sporting events.
Ideal for younger children
Although it is not going to prevent injuries from happening, it may soften the blow for children that are playing sports. Falling onto it can seem a lot softer than falling onto solid ground, it allows children to try new sports and experiences with less fear, increasing participation through confidence. This makes it ideal to be installed in school sports grounds, with its diverse usage and advantages it has for the children.
