Artificial turf grass, invented and patented by Monsanto, made its first appearance at a Providence, R.I. high school in 1964. Originally known as ChemGrass, it was later rebranded AstroTurf after it replaced a burned-out natural grass field in the Houston Astrodome in 1966. Other manufacturers eventually produced their own products, and today you’ll find artificial turf in professional, college and high school stadiums coast to coast.

Artificial grass is beloved by homeowners and property managers throughout the country for good reason. Not only is it more durable than natural grass, but it also remains perfectly green and pristine all year long, enhancing curb appeal and increasing property value.
