As a premier artificial turf manufacturer, Eco Alliance is well-versed in the history & state of the artificial turf industry. Artificial grass turf is a man-made surface manufactured to look like natural grass. David Chaney is the man long credited with creating the first generation of artificial grass turfs. Artificial turf had its commercial birth in 1965 when it was installed at the Astrodome in Houston, Texas. The use of artificial grass turf became more wide spread in the 1970s and was almost exclusively limited to sports applications in both indoor and outdoor stadiums. By the 1980s artificial grass turfs were installed at a number of soccer (football) fields throughout Europe. First generation artificial grass turfs earned an infamous reputation because of their unforgiving nature leading to serious joint injuries and their “unrealistic” look.
