It is a common mistake to confuse modern artificial grass with the bright green turf mat that can be found in gardens or construction centres. The real first use of synthetic grass has been by professional sport clubs.The first large projects date from the period 1964-1966 with the renowned AstroDome Baseball Stadium in Texas (USA) as a prime example. Here natural grass was replaced by artificial grass which, from that moment onwards, became famously known as Astroturf.The development of its predecessor, dates back to the end of the fifties when research was done to find a safe surface for schools and playgroundsAt this moment, production technology is so advanced that artificial grass can be used in a wide variety of situations: from a ski run in Portugal to airport runways, motorway embankments and a training ground at the top of an apartment building in the heart of Tokyo. These are just a small example of the different locations in which artificial grass has been used with tremendous success.Greenpeople can offer over twenty different types of synthetic grass in which the combination of pile height and density is perfect for its specific goal and determines its look & feel.
