AstroTurf – One of the world’s most recognizable brands. AstroTurf products come ever closer to replicating the feel, performance, and safety of the gold standard – natural grass. Technology has rapidly improved in the half century since the AstroTurf name was born in 1964, when synthetic turf was first installed at the Houston Astrodome. Today AstroTurf combines forward-thinking, ingenuity, and disciplined R&D to deliver playing surfaces with the best sport-specific performance, durability, and player protection.
