If you were to ask a student what it is they liked most about school many will say sports and hanging out with friends. Sports and recreation play a big role in all students' school lives and can have a lasting impact for the rest of their lives.

While sports many years ago was traditionally played on natural grass or concrete the thinking used to be that Synthetic Turf surfaces were not as safe as natural grass to play on as they were more likely to lead to minor injuries such as bruises or knee injuries.

These days, thanks to modern technology and improved installation techniques, not only is Artificial Grass easier to maintain, looks good and creates a safe, sustainable environment, it has also been proven through recent studies that Synthetic Grass injury rates are now lower than natural surfaces.

Here are some more reasons why Synthetic Turf is worthwhile considering for schools

· No Watering

· No Mowing

· No Fertiliser

· No Weeding

· It Doesn't get muddy when it rains

· It can be used 24/7, 365 days a year

The economical and environmental impact on using Artificial Grass is obvious when you think about how much water will be saved each year and how much less pollution will go into the atmosphere from lawn mower exhausts and poisons that are used to kill the weeds.

Another great feature of artificial grass is that if the weather conditions aren't favourable you can rest assured that as soon as it passes you can get right back out onto it and enjoy your favourite activities again - all year round.

Other studies have also shown that schools and public places that have converted from natural grass to Artificial Grass have an increased usage of up to 300% due to there being almost no down time for poor quality surfaces.

This is especially true for cities that experience extreme temperature conditions such as long-hot summer months or very wet seasons.

Sythetic turf has been in use for many years but it is only recently that new advances in the way it's manufactured has brought renewed interest in this product. With improvements in manufacturing and the focus being on usability and longevity hte advantages of having synthetic turf are vast.

If your school sports area or playground has a problem area that is unsightly or difficult to maintain then transforming your landscape with lush green turf 365 days a year could be the solution you have been waiting for.
