Types of Landscaping Turf

When considering different types of landscaping turf, pay attention to a few aspects of these rolls.

Pile Height and Thickness

For landscaping turf, pile height is an important consideration. Longer pile heights may resemble natural grass a little more realistically, while shorter pile heights are better for sports. Some of the most common pile height and thickness options for landscaping turf include:

• 1 inch
  
• 1-1/4 inches
  
• 1-1/2 inches
  
• 1-3/4 inches
  
• 2 inches

Backing Material

Our SilverBack polyurethane backing is a popular choice, as it tightly secures the blades. You should notice blades popping out of place when placed under stress.

We also offer some permeable backing materials made to drain water fast for use in areas with significant rainfall.

Sizes for Landscape Turf

Most of our rolls are available in 15-foot widths, but some provide a 7.5-foot width option that reduces the weight and simplifies making a DIY installation. The products that offer a 7.5-foot width option include:

• Traffic Blade Silver Artificial Turf Roll
  
• Pet Heaven Artificial Grass Turf Roll
  
• Catalina Artificial Turf Roll
  
• Countryside Deluxe Artificial Turf Roll

Landscape Turf Q&A

How do you choose artificial turf for landscaping?

To choose artificial turf for landscaping, consider the pile height you want and the environmental conditions in which you’ll be using it. If the turf will see significant foot traffic, it needs to be highly durable.

What are the benefits of artificial grass for homeowners?

Some of the benefits of using artificial grass for homeowners include eliminating the need for maintenance and seeing a green color all year long. It can create a safe place for kids and pets to play in the backyard at home because it doesn’t develop weeds, bare spots, and holes.

Does artificial turf drain?

Many different rolls of landscape turf and artificial grass drain well when used in areas with heavy rain. Some synthetic lawn products have a permeable backing that allows water to pass easily. Some people add drainage tiles as a base under the landscaping grass rolls to encourage faster draining.

How long does outdoor turf last?

When properly maintained, outdoor turf can last for 20 years or more. Pay attention to the manufacturer’s warranty period for the artificial landscaping grass. Premium products will have longer warranty periods.

How do you maintain artificial grass?

To maintain the artificial grass, rinse it weekly to wash away dust and other contaminants. If your dogs are using the space, remove the animal’s waste from the landscaping turf grass as soon as possible to avoid staining and odors. For the best results, avoid allowing fire pits or grills to be used in the area around the artificial landscape turf.
