According to The Synthetic Turf Council, “synthetic grass for landscape, golf and other recreation applications is the fastest growing segment of the synthetic turf market.” In 2014, 40-45 million square feet of synthetic grass for landscape and recreation was installed. Artificial turf and grass installations are expected to increase significantly as residential, commercial and municipal construction markets continue to seek ways to reduce costs, save on maintenance and reduce environmental impacts,
In order to fill this growing demand, the market needs Certified Artificial Grass installers. The base prep is almost identical to that of a paver base and most installers only need training on seaming and project design. GardenMark offers free training seminars to certify installers and guidance for all its products to keep up with increasing demand.
