I was at Souk Sharq when I noticed their beautiful grass. It looked perfect all nice and green on a very hot sunny day. But sadly, on closer inspection it turned out the grass was fake, a really good fake. I couldn’t believe it wasn’t real until I pulled up the grass from one of the edges to reveal its carpet like application.

we used to play football on the same quality of this grass
it looked very real, even had dirt on it.
atleast it looks nice…. !!
good. We’re learning from our mistakes. After 40 years of planting grass and watching it burn we’ve finally learnt that the fake stuff is best in this environment.
Yeah man, that grass fooled me as well :p
Now everywhere you go you’ll see this fake grass, while I was driving in Rouwda I saw them removing the real grass and replace fake one.
It’s good to see our Kuwait going green !
i prefer burned real grass
and its really nice when spraying water on it in the afternoon… a friend of mine has it in their house, thinking about putting it here instead of our real barely-grown grass!
wala thats good oo ewafer il may;p and looks better than real
so we can pull it!!….ahaaaaaaa…….lol….
dont play soccer on this grass with the lapcheen shoes or what ever you call those shoes with the spikes, the traction is very strong that when my brother was playing on it and tried to turn quickly his whole body turned except from his knee down… a couple of hours later he woke up high from the anesthesia after his operation where they had to put a couple of nails in his leg the keep the bone in place so it can heal…
just advising you not too…
Sometimes they use small black pellets in them to help traction and ‘filter’ it i believe, but yeah, also dont go for sliding tackles on it, you can get one real nasty rug burn
This is quite pathetic actually.
Well, most of the private football fields use the same artificial grass here for a while now. It’s good to see it spreading beyond the fields, it’s expensive but doesn’t need that much maintenance.
Great looks like Golf Green land Love it
Good to see.
They should Put fake grass in a lot more places
No Nature Positive Energy!
Concrete and fake plants city!
it is Pathetic!

That’s been there for over a year now :/
If this grass was in Hawally City i bet it may stand a (24 hours) without stealing it and making it a doormats.. lol
It’s horrible! I’ve seen it in Mishref too. The ‘dirt’ is to keep it standing upright. I prefer the real stuff.
I prefer real grass also but I guess if I had to choose between fake grass and sand I would go with fake grass.
You can see the seams!
Its from Abyat! I have seen it… its so soft and feels like real grass and is about KD12-13 per sq meter! We have it in one place at home!
They are also putting some of it in Rawda (a KD 40K tender to make Rawda area greener)
weve got real grass in ahmadi that looks tip-top.
Well its good,in the desert you need not spend money to water them.This way you can conserve water !
It all depends where you get it from, there are different manufacturers..
I honestly think that its better for overall look and feel of the side of the roads, some areas might benefit from real ones but for overall maintenance costs these are better!
It is especially designed and made for areas where natural grass is difficult to grow or where upkeep is impractical – due to water restrictions
this grass is FieldTurf Grass
it looks like grass.. feels like grass.. plays like grass..
I bought some for my dog to poo on. She loves it.
