Artificial Grass Turf

Types of Artificial Grass

When you select artificial grass from Greatmats, you receive a handy alternative to natural turf. Our artificial turf looks and feels like the real thing, but it doesn’t require the maintenance work and ongoing cost of taking care of a natural lawn.

Purpose and Benefits of Artificial Turf

With synthetic lawns, you can begin using the space for sports or pets immediately after a rainstorm without having to worry about the grass drying off or mud.

An artificial sports field has a uniform height without needing constant maintenance. If you’re using this material in the backyard, you don’t have to worry about pets digging it up and making holes in the yard. Additional benefits of this material include:

• Minimal maintenance requirements
  
• Reduce weeding, mowing, watering, and aerating
  
• Great for small or large landscapes
  
• Drains quickly after a rainstorm
  
• Comfortable under bare feet with no weeds
  
• Visual appealing look and feel
  
• Realistic look for a residential yard
  
• Vibrant green color all year around

Artificial Turf Use Cases

Synthetic grass allows many different kinds of activities, including:

Sports practice

Golf and putting greens

Patio, deck and pool areas

Rooftop decks

Outdoor doggy daycare areas

Playgrounds

Indoor and Outdoor Artificial Grass

Indoor sports turf surfaces for fitness and workout facilities most often choose turf with a foam or rubber backing for increased padding. It goes directly over a concrete floor or other hard, flat surfaces. You could even use turf for a garage floor to make an indoor putting green or soccer practice area.

Outdoor turf rolls cover large spaces quickly and provide a safe playing surface that can withstand any kind of weather or foot traffic with far better wear results than natural blades of grass. Use artificial turf mats in golf areas to practice your swing or putt.

Artificial Grass Q&A

What is the best pile height for artificial grass?

The best artificial turf pile height depends on the purpose the turf will be used for. Shorter pile heights work well for golf, for a pet area, or for many sports. Longer blade heights work well for commercial and residential lawns, poolside areas, and rooftop decks where furniture might be used.

How long does artificial turf last?

Synthetic grass lifespan will depend on a variety of factors, including the amount of traffic and use types. Most of our turf products are backed by an 8-year manufacturer warranty, providing a great value. High-quality turf options have an expected lifespan of 15-20 years. This will create a smart long-term investment. Greatmats can assist customers in choosing the correct quality of turf for their installations.

How do I install artificial turf and maintain it?

Many customers install the artificial turf rolls themselves. Greatmats has many installation documents on our website.Installations can be a DIY project if you want to save money. Some groundwork preparations may be required at your site, which can be provided by a local landscape contractor.

Our artificial grass will require very little maintenance work. Fluff up the blades with a stiff bristled broom as needed. Use a leaf blower or rake to remove debris, such as fallen leaves.
