Choosing Turf

Artificial Grass

Artificial grass is a manufactured surface of synthetic fibers tufted into a backing and installed with supporting materials such as base aggregate, edging, seams, and often infill. The visible turf is only one part of the finished system.

Choosing Turf

Face Weight

Face weight is the weight of the turf yarn above the backing, usually expressed per square yard. It does not include the primary or secondary backing and should not be confused with total product weight.

Pet Turf

Pet turf is an artificial-grass product or complete installation system selected for areas used by animals. The label is not a single standard: practical performance depends on backing, drainage, seams, edges, infill, base, cleaning access, and maintenance.

Pile Height

Pile height is the measured length of an artificial-grass fiber from the backing surface to the fiber tip. It describes blade length—not density, softness, durability, or overall quality by itself.

Putting Green Turf

Putting green turf is a short, dense synthetic surface designed to support ball roll rather than imitate a full-length lawn. The finished result depends on the turf, infill system, base contour, cups, fringe, drainage, and installation precision.

Total Weight

Total weight is the finished weight of an artificial-grass product, including yarn and backing components. Because sellers may label weight specifications differently, the stated basis should be confirmed before comparing products.
