Choosing the best artificial grass for your turf project comes with a variety of variables to consider. You may be interested in a specific look for your completed project or searching for a durable style that will withstand the test of time and heavy foot traffic.

The right artificial grass for you will be different from the right artificial grass for someone else. At the end of the day, it’s an upgrade to your outdoor space, no matter the purpose. We’re going to go into what you should consider when choosing the best artificial grass for your project and how to go about choosing the right synthetic turf from the numerous options out there.

What it will be used for

Think about what you’ll be using your artificial turf for, even if it’s going to serve multiple uses. Artificial grass for dogs will look and feel different than turf used for decorative purposes. You want a turf that will look good over time no matter the use.

Traffic

Consider how much foot traffic and wear and tear your turf will need to withstand to look its best. A more durable, kid-safe artificial turf is more appropriate for turf that will serve as a play area. Synthetic turf that won’t get much foot traffic may not need as durable a material as a play area or dog run.

Backing and Infill

The right backing and infill will help your turf keep its shape, prevent drainage problems, and avoid warping. Your turf installation experts can help you determine the kind of backing and infill that will work best with your project, including odor-resistant varieties for pet use.

Quality and type of grass

Synthetic turf comes in a variety of styles and price points. Budget-friendly options don’t always mean you’re dealing with lower quality turf, but that’s where the experts come in. High-quality turf is well-designed and installed in a way that will prevent problems down the line.

Aesthetics

Once you’ve identified the purpose for your turf, you may want to consider how you’d like your turf to look. Synthetic grass comes in a variety of textures, colors and blade lengths. You may want a more realistic-looking grass or a more functional appearance. Aesthetics are up to you!

Pile Height

Pile height matters if you’re looking to install turf on a playground or sports field. Look for pile heights around the 2-inch range for athletic fields or areas where kids will play. If you’re looking for turf for more day-to-day use, medium pile heights fall around the 1-inch range.

Density and Weight

A high-quality, natural-looking turf will look and feel dense, with a decent weight to it. The higher the density, the softer the feel of your turf. That doesn’t mean you’re always seeking high-density turf, as a medium-density option may be acceptable for some residential uses.

UV Protection

Those lucky enough to live in sunny Southern California know the power of the sun when it comes to drought conditions and sun damage. If your turf will be exposed to the sun for most of the day, consider artificial grass with built-in UV protection to keep your turf from losing its luster.

Maintenance

Turf is already an easy to clean, low-maintenance alternative to natural grass. You won’t need to water it, cut it or fertilize it. You will, however, need to do light maintenance to keep your grass looking fresh.

We recommend hosing down, spot cleaning and brushing your blades regularly. Depending on the purpose of your turf, consider whether you’d benefit from weed barriers, special infills or styles that are more resistant to weather conditions, like sunlight.

Budget

You certainly shouldn’t cut corners when installing artificial turf. That doesn’t mean there aren’t a variety of beautiful options out there, no matter what kind of budget you’re working with. It’s also important to note that turf will actually save you money over time when it comes to maintenance.
