Which Turf Option is Right for You?

September 25, 2020

Researching the many options and combinations involved with artificial turf selection is the right first step to ensure you’re satisfied long-term with the look of your lawn. The “right” turf color, density, and durability all depends on your aesthetics and how you will use the turf. Pro golfer Phil Mickelson and celebrity Kim Kardashian are not going to pick the same turf, and neither will you and your next-door neighbor.

A professional can help you decide on the right turf for you, but going in prepared keeps your meeting efficient.

Before you even start reviewing artificial turf websites, ask yourself: :

  • What is the primary use of my turf? (Aesthetics, play, team sports, golf, pet use)
  • What is my color preference (darker, lighter, somewhere in between)?
  • Where will the turf go?
  • What size space will I convert to artificial turf?
  • What is my budget?
  • Do I want to finance my turf and installation or pay upfront?

With these questions answered, review the types of artificial turf here.

Golfing & Putting Greens

The backyard putting green never goes out of style. Two US Turf options are:

  • Birdie Putt encourages ball roll performance that makes you feel like you’re on a professional course while still being budget-friendly.
  • Eagle Putt boasts a professional-level ball roll, and can even be installed directly on top of concrete without losing performance.

When you have kids, you need something that can withstand lots of activity and even a little rough play.

Pets

With pets, quick-draining turf is key. Your turf must also be able to withstand use from running and playing.

  • Golden Eagle comes with Optimum Flow™ backing that is perfect for pets and quick clean up.
  • Catalina Premium is a little bit taller with tough blades to look like a beautiful lawn. The Optimum Flow™ technology allows for quick drainage, making it great for pets.
  • Napa has Optimum Flow™ technology for permeability, and the slightly stiffer blade structure makes cleaning a breeze.
