Have you considered fake grass for your school field?

School grounds and sports fields certainly take a beating, and it can be very difficult to keep them in a good state of repair. Rather than traditional turf, many schools and sports grounds are turning to new alternatives so that the pitches and fields are in great condition all year round for the football, rugby, hockey and many other games and sports that are carried out there. For students, there really is no better alternative than a fake grass pitch. Read on to find out why so many schools and sports grounds are converting to fake grass.

Looks and feels like real grass

Fake grass has come a long way over the past few years, and these days it really does look and feel like real grass. That means that there is little if no difference to the feel of the field or pitch when you are playing on it, and when the inevitable tumbles occur it provides a landing ground that is as safe as grass. Because it drains well there is no chance of water gathering on the surface, and as long as it is laid correctly it will retain its flatness.

No maintenance

Because fake grass requires no maintenance, installing it in your school field or sports ground will reward you with considerable cost savings. There will be no need for mowing, weeding, leveling or reseeding, and so after your initial outlay there is nothing more to pay. This is a huge benefit to schools and sports grounds that are struggling to pay for the upkeep of their facilities.

Available all year round

Many schools and colleges find that they need to rest their fields during certain times of the year. This can be when there has been frost, or when bald patches occur and require reseeding. This means that the pitch or field can be out of action for a long time, and so the students are unable to train as normal. By installing fake grass you can be sure that training can occur all year round and the students will only benefit as a result of it.
