Artificial turf is a man-made surface designed to mimic natural grass. It is commonly used in sports fields, playgrounds, and landscaping due to its durability and low maintenance requirements. Unlike natural grass, artificial turf does not need watering, mowing, or fertilizing, making it a popular choice in areas with limited water resources. The surface is typically made from synthetic fibers, often made of polyethylene or polypropylene, which are designed to withstand heavy use. Artificial turf can provide a consistent playing surface for athletes and is available in various colors and textures to suit different applications.
