Artificial turf represents a popular surface for a large baseball, football, or soccer field, as it can withstand significant weather and be ready to play quickly. It also saves money for the athletic facility on maintenance, as natural grass can have a high cost to keep it in pristine condition.
Artificial turf options from Greatmats are extremely versatile, so they work well for many other installation options beyond a large field. Create a synthetic golf green to putt and practice at any time of the year. Use it for workouts at the gym, either indoors or outdoors. It’s a great area for dogs to play, too, saving your natural grass lawn area.
Artificial grass is quickly becoming an alternative to a natural grass lawn in places where heat and water conservation are considered. We offer many residential turf options that feature a natural grass feel and appearance.
