The No.1 Artificial Grass Installer in the UK.

Say Grass/AstroTurf/Artificial Grass

f you’ve just started exploring options for artificial grass, you may be wondering about all the different terminology. Is AstroTurf the same as fake grass, for example? Is there any difference between synthetic grass and false turf? Are they all the same, or is there something unique about each? Here we explain what AstroTurf is, why it is different to artificial grass, and how everything else fits in. We’ll also look at the benefits of choosing SayGrass and how they can best help when you’re looking at fake grass.

What is AstroTurf?

AstroTurf is a brand of artificial grass. It was created in 1965 by an American company called Monsanto, which specialises in training grounds and large sports pitches. Monsanto claimed that the advantages of using AstroTurf rather than natural grass was that it needed little maintenance, did not need sunlight, and was ideal for indoor stadiums. AstroTurf was subsequently used for many indoor and outdoor stadiums across America.

At the time, AstroTurf was the only company selling artificial grass. This led to synthetic grass in general being commonly referred to as ‘AstroTurf’. Rather ‘Hoover’ became the adopted name for the vacuum cleaner so astroturf became the accepted term for fake grass.

What is artificial grass?

Artificial grass is the broad term that refers to all man-made material that is used to imitate natural grass. It is also commonly referred to as fake grass, synthetic grass, artificial turf, false grass and fake turf. As mentioned, it is also often referred to as astro turf, which is a variation of the official brand name, AstroTurf.

Fake grass has moved on considerably since the 1960s. It is no longer the rigid, stiff material it once was. Now the quality is exceptional, and the look and feel are so realistic that many people will often struggle to tell the difference between fake grass and a natural lawn.

As fake turf has evolved over the years, it has seen a growth in popularity, with thousands of people choosing to install it in their gardens, sports venues, schools, gyms, golf courses and many other indoor and outdoor venues. There are even specialist fake grass products specially engineered for sports and school use.

Synthetic grass lets you enjoy the winning combination of beautiful, natural-looking grass that is incredibly durable, with hassle-free maintenance. There’s none of the mowing, watering, or muddiness that you would associate with real grass.

Trustworthy

So happy with our new lawn, From the quote to the finished lawn, these guys are professional throughout. Great time keeping, friendly and know what they are doing. They explained what they was doing all the way through the installation of the artificial grass. Nitii was very patient when we kept asking for additions or changing our minds throughout the project. They really do go the extra mile !!! It looks perfect and the children can’t wait to get outside. It’s been a pleasure working with Saygrass and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them for any job. Thanks Nitii we love it !!!!

I had my decking replace in the garden, the team worked really hard ,and they did a great job. They were on time, all what was communicate was done. I did not like my colour paint of the decking as was too light eventhough was a dark oak,however they offer to repaint again with a darker colour. I will choose them again if need it.

Excellent services

From the very first consultation to the final touches, my experience with SayGrass Artificial Grass Company has been nothing short of remarkable. The grass they've installed feels incredibly natural, almost indistinguishable from real grass. It's lush, vibrant, and soft underfoot. My children and pets have taken an instant liking to it, and I've noticed they spend much more time outdoors now. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about their work. They listened to my vision, made valuable suggestions, and executed the project flawlessly.

At a little loss for words, spoke with a lovely person call Neeru. The initial conversation was positive, great phone etiquette. Was given an immediate price point as a reference. Upon searching around, they were the cheaper deal by at least 1k! I needed a quick turnaround too, Neeru was able to organise and get everything sorted within a week! Honestly shocked at the incredible speed of service, the people who came to complete the job were cordial, laid floor covers down to protect my floors and even swept up after they were done. Some things are expected, but this whole process has shown me that there are just some bits of class and customer service you can’t put a price on. Will be using them for every bit of Garden work from here on out!

Very professional service all round. The installation team arrived on time and worked non stop. They really paid attention to detail which left an immaculate finish. Normally workmen don't clean after themselves but I was impressed that the team left everything very clean and tidy. Very competitive prices for an excellent service. Have already recommended to friends and family!

I am very pleased with the end outcome, and the soft grass that was chosen looks excellent. I would like to thank Saygrass for transforming the garden and to give them the highest recommendation. Overall, it was a great experience with top service and installation.
