Astro turf is considered more environment friendly than natural grass because it does not require watering. Apart from that, there is almost no maintenance cost as you do not have to shape and trim the grass at regular intervals. It’s true that it saves water but at the same time it covers land with plastic. Thus, most people think twice before they install astro turf in their homes. Here are different ways by which you can use astro turf at your home and backyard.
