One of the words you may not know, but have heard of floating around when shopping for your artificial grass lawn, is infill. But what is infill? Infill is the crumbled up rubber and sand particles that are placed between blades of grass to give them a more natural and realistic look. Infill is also designed to make the lawn underneath one’s feet feel real as well as it emulates the soft sense of soil and grass. But why get infill for a realistic feel when you have a fake lawn already? Well that is also another good question.
When shopping around to buy synthetic turf you are looking to emulate the look of a real lawn while also cutting down on the maintenance of actually having one. If the synthetic lawn you ordered is just for looks, or if it is a place to send your pet to use the restroom, then infill is generally not needed. The same can be said if you plan to place this fake grass along a hill, around the edge of a patio, or for other generic, small, and only eye pleasing purposes.
On the other hand, homeowners who want to play on their residential artificial grass should opt for the infill. Infill is not for looks it is for use. Playing outside on a artificial lawn, exercising your animals, and if you have other high traffic areas on a synthetic lawn are all great reasons to have your synthetic lawn filled with infill. It will provide a safe and soft realistic soil and grass feel that will last.
When looking at synthetic lawns you need to ask yourself whether you are getting it for play or aesthetic pleasure. Be an informed consumer, and get infill if you really plan on using it.

Synthetic lawn turf has many environmental benefits, and eliminating the use of lawn mowers is one of them.
Although maintaining your natural grass lawn can be a relaxing and rewarding pastime, few people enjoy the hard labor of mowing their lawns. Yet mowing is an important part of lawn care and has a major effect on the health and appearance of your lawn. So why is it so harmful to the environment? According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a typical 3.5 horsepower gas-powered lawn mower emits the same amount of air polluting emissions in one hour as a new car driven 340 miles. What’s more, more than 17 million gallons of gas and oil are spilled each year from refueling lawn equipment.
A synthetic lawn does not require mowing, which means preventing the air polluting emissions from harming our environment. In fact, artificial grass does not require watering, weeding, herbicides or fertilizing. Learn more about the environmental benefits of fake grass or purchase artificial grass at wholesale prices today.

Despite the fact that synthetic grass is being used as a safe and durable surface for playing fields across the country, there is still a lot of confusion about the benefits of this modern technology. This is why many athletic directors have a difficult time introducing the idea to their school boards and other officials. More specifically, they don’t have the right tools to bring synthetic grass to their schools.
Some of the biggest obstacles to bringing artificial grass turf to a high school are raising money and getting community support. If you’re finding yourself in the same category, you may want to check out the Athletic Director’s Guide. Developed by the Synthetic Turf Council, the Athletic Director’s Guide includes everything you will need to accomplish your goals. The guide provides a wide range of effective tools, including educational materials, fundraising ideas, and tips on gaining community support for synthetic turf fields.

Press coverage of Evergreens UK historic flower show firsts
Opening yesterday, the Royal Horticultural Society’s Chelsea Flower Show (24 – 28 May 2011) is arguably the ultimate event in the gardening calendar.
And as artificial grass featured at Chelsea in both 2009 and 2010, this year’s show could once more bring artificial grass to the attention of green-fingered experts and gardening enthusiasts.
Previously, Evergreens made flower show history by becoming the first retailer invited to show artificial grass at any RHS flower show – Hampton Court 2008 – and to win a Certificate of Merit for doing so.
In 2009, Evergreens repeated the feat by becoming the first very first retailer to display artificial grass at the Chelsea Flower Show.
And in 2010, artificial grass went on to feature in some of Chelsea’s show gardens – winning celebrity fans including Amanda Holden, Phil Spencer and Craig David.
Since being displayed at RHS events, including the Chelsea and Hampton Court flower shows, artificial grass has been widely lauded as a modern garden design solution ideal for gardeners looking for low maintenance and child-friendly lawns.
The RHS itself has even installed artificial grass in some of its high-profile garden attractions – including Kew Gardens and RHS Wisley’s Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon rose garden – since artificial grass’s 2009 Chelsea debut.

Artificial lawns are virtually maintenance free; after all, you don’t have to water, mow, weed or fertilize an artificial lawn. But if you want to help maximize the life span and beauty of your artificial lawn, there are a few things you can do. Although simple and quick, the following tips will ensure you get to enjoy a lush, beautiful artificial lawn for as long as possible.
Rake away dust and debris. Artificial grass does cost a lot upfront, so it’s important to maintain it the right way. Use a push broom, rake or blower to care for your artificial grass. Blow off or rake your grass once a month to enhance its look. You can also brush artificial grass against the grain every three months to get rid of debris and dust and stabilize the fibers.
Wash away spills. Use water to spray and clean up after any spills, especially if you have any pets. You can also use a mild detergent if you wish.

Some avid gardeners and home keepers like the idea of maintaining the grass of a real lawn over fake lawn grass. It can be rewarding to see the fruits of your labor turn out a magnificent lawn. However, the flip side to this is seeing all of your hard work go to waste. You can spend hours each day perfecting your lawn to only have an unpredicted hail storm pour down and kill your grass with its freezing temperatures. This same weather can also ice over your lawn making it slippery and dangerous. When that foul weather finally passes you are left with dead patches of grass dispersed throughout your lawn, and all your hard work wasted.
This is why it is more sensible to buy artificial turf. Not only will you no longer have to worry about maintenance and cost of a real lawn, but you will also no longer have to worry about your lawn being killed by weather that is either too hot or cold. This will allow you to spend time taking care of more important things around the house such as tending to a rose garden, painting and maintaining the outside of your house, or tending to your rock garden. These household chores are much more important to maintain, and are the real products of one’s labor; while maintaining the lawn is more of a complimentary effort.
Artificial grass turf can maintain that complimentary effort for your house and garden. Whether through sleight, sun, rain, snow, or even hail, our synthetic grass will always come out looking green, so there is no more need to worry about those nasty dead patches of grass.

Artificial Turf has the potential to enhance parks and communities around the world, and Quebec, Canada is no exception. MontrealGazette.com reports that the new synthetic sports fields at Terra Cotta Park in Pointe-Claire, Montreal have been ready and in use for nearly a week now.
The $4.6 million project — paid for by Quebec and Ottawa – includes two new full-sized artificial grass lawn fields for soccer and rugby practices and exhibition matches. Along with advanced artificial turf, both multipurpose synthetic turf fields boast larger stands, team and referee benches, a scoreboard, and warm-up tracks.
One of the main advantages of using artificial turf is increased playing time for the soccer season. According to the article, the soccer season will be extended from earlier in the spring to later into the fall. The new fake lawn playing fields also reduce the wear and tear of the city’s natural grass fields. And with lower maintenance costs, the new turf is a smart investment.

Green and red bespoke event carpet used by Heineken
Heineken might serve its beer from iconic green bottles, but that’s not the only green the brewers get excited about – as the firm has recently used artificial grass carpet from Evergreens UK for an important industry event.
Heineken opted to promote its brand colours at a supermarket’s buyer conference in West London, using our red and green exhibition carpet and event flooring to represent the beer’s green bottles and trademark red star logo.
The distillers chose to have green and red event carpeting installed at a West London venue, with track-look flooring creating a firm stage area where speakers could stand while addressing event delegates.
The running track graphics were inlaid at our factory in Rutland with the final finishing on site to make for an efficient installation to meet the clients time frames.
The Evergreens team also laid a protective layer between the venue’s expensive wooden floor and our exhibition carpet, to ensure there was no damage caused by the installation or any heavy footfall at this prestigious event.
The installation makes Heineken the latest leading international brand to choose Evergreens UK for event flooring.
Evergreens have supplied event flooring for brands including Coca Cola, Vodafone, Adidas, Harrods, Nike and Rolls Royce.
At Artificial Turf Supply, we are always thrilled to hear about the impact synthetic turf has on schools and young adults. MercuryNews.com reports that Branciforte Middle School in Santa Cruz, CA is about to spend $2.1 million this summer to replace its current recreation field with outdoor artificial turf for its soccer and softball fields.
According to the article, the new synthetic playing fields will increase the opportunity of physical exercise for middle school students and improve the school’s overall sense of pride.
Branciforte teacher Joe Hedgecock told the paper that while the current field is “great for egrets and other critters,” it is not suitable for teaching. He added, “The possibility of a field that’s always usable is just awesome.”
Synthetic turf can be utilized to replace overused, unsafe playing fields. Designed with durability and safety in mind, fake turf sports fields offer a practical and consistent playing surface for student and professional athletics alike. Call us today to find out how much artificial grass will cost for your field.
