Walking into a storeroom or browsing a website with what seems like endless options of artificial turf can be intimidating, especially for a first-timer. How do I choose the right one? What am I even looking for? I’d like turf that’s, well, green. I know that for sure.
And that’s a great start. At Purchase Green, we’ve made choosing the best fake grass for whatever project you’re working on into a science.
The Menu Board breaks the options down into four categories:
- Application
- Traffic
- Blade Profile
- Accessories
When picking the right artificial grass, it all boils down to those four things.
Applications
Application is the kind of project you’re working on, whether that’s installing your dream putting green, an area for your pets, a playground, a sports field, or just doing some landscaping. Knowing what the project is will be crucial to picking the best fake grass for installation.
If you are looking for artificial grass to go in your backyard, and your pets will be using the space to do their business, there are a few things we can do to eliminate odors and make clean-up easier. A big portion of this has to do with the infill you select, which we’ll discuss later, but let’s just focus on the grass itself for now. All our grasses are “pet-friendly” meaning that they drain quickly to help get rid of waste. But, a grass that is shorter in height like Fescue Supreme will be much easier to clean. But if you don’t have any pets using your backyard, then you won’t have to worry about the high pile height of a grass like Arizona Platinum Spring.
