The thatch layer (which provides the turf with an added layer of support and blade recovery) of synthetic grass is made from polypropylene, polyethylene, or nylon material. All of this combined creates the appearance of natural grass. These two parts are joined with rubber granules and silica sand to help keep the blades upright.

Artificial grass is a great option if you are looking for a lower maintenance grass that will keep a lush green color year round, despite Alberta’s long winter. But there are a few disadvantages to keep in mind. Even though artificial turf decreases water consumption and pest use, compared to natural grass, it also decreases biodiversity and can negatively impact pollinators and other wildlife. Adding real plants near your artificial grass, like evergreen trees anf flowering shrubs, will not only increase the curb appeal, but also attach beneficial insects like butterflies. Another downside of artificial grass, especially if not installed correctly, can trap heat and increase temperature in your yard during the summer months.
