Every day, gardeners and groundsmen use technology to improve their grass. And as in any other field, that technology keeps progressing. Artificial lawn is now an affordable reality for many homes and sports clubs; is it time you invested in an upgrade?
A Short History of Lawn Technology
Artificial turf might seem like a big leap from natural grass, but the reality is humans have been using technology to influence turf and create gardens and playing surfaces for hundreds of years. For example, before the invention of fertilizer, gardeners would use clover, which puts nitrogen back into the soil, to help the grass grow.
And grass cutting? Before the lawnmower was invented, estates would normally keep sheep to help keep the grass short. For the real perfectionists, an army of gardeners with hand shears would be put to work – thank goodness for lawnmowers!
The invention of the lawnmower and fertilizer saved time and increased the quality of our lawns and fields – and artificial turf is no different.
