Many people are unaware how artificial grass began. After all, turfs didn’t start to become popular in the UK until the late 1990’s. Interestingly, artificial grass was born and bread on the fields of American football stadiums during the 1960’s which means that they should be a pretty decent addition to any sports game, right? The team here at Great Grass are going to go over all the details…

Money Matters

After all, it does not require regular mowing, there is no need for weed killers or fertilizers and you’ll never have to worry about heavy rainfall calling off games that hundreds of pounds were poured into planning.

Simple Repairs
