| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the popularity of synthetic turf for residential and commercial properties. Lists factors contributing to this popularity, including "improved fibers and backing, the addition of 'infill' crumb rubber material for added softness and, of course, aggressive marketing." Suggests that "synthetic is a great alternative to turfgrass on properties where it's difficult to grow natural grass." Discusses the potential advantages of artificial turf, including not requiring fertilizer, water, or mowing, and financial and labor savings. Discusses potential disadvantages, including the lack of the cooling effect of a real lawn, and maintenance. |
