I am trying to find the artificial grass look the same or similar as Kentucky bluegrass, any suggestions?

My suggestion will be GST's Emerald-92Stemgrass. You can find the details on this particular turf at this link: https://www.globalsynturf.com/products/emerald-92-stemgrass
It is a premium grade artificial grass product with very high face weight, extremely dense. The color is very close to Kentucky Bluegrass, and will last a long time.
![]() | Edwin Alzate If you go with a shorter version, Trainers Turf will work as well. |
![]() | San Dee Ross - Customer Service We used to have more Emerald products but we have discontinued some, if you need any, check with us to see if we can get you any discontinued liquidation Emerald products which look the same as Kentucky bluegrass. |
![]() | Tom Stewart While after installed from a distance, I don't think it is that noticeable of any type of turf. |
![]() | Owen Senzalaki I just asked a similar question for Rye grass. |
![]() | Leslie Williams - Dandelion Fighter Oh, it sounds so good! I'd love to have Kentucky bluegrass. I was thinking to cover a patio with synthetic turf, something sweet, like pink and white. Yummy! |
I live in Florida, a lot of rain and grass grows fast.

One of the best benefits for using artificial grass in areas that have a lot rain and grass grow fast is that you do NOT need to mown your lawn every 3 days! In States like Florida, the grass grows so fast that people simple can't keep up with them, and spending a lot of money on the maintenance! Also, Florida is also know as a state for "Snow Birds": a lot of people have properties and only live there for a few month, even though most of Snow Birds don't own houses, the rental properties for these Snow birds are a lot: to maintain fast growing natural grass on such properties can be a pain, and totally waste. Artificial turf is a perfect solution! So it is not always right that only the drought areas need artificial grass, warm and rainy areas like Florida need turf as well!
![]() | I think it's very beneficial to any place, not just in Florida! |
![]() | Well said. |
![]() | The answers make sense to me. |
![]() | I definitely have artificial turf for my rental property, no brainer. |
![]() | It will be a great feeling to call your landscaper no need to come for mowing your lawns any more. |
![]() | Florida is one of quickest growing market for artificial grass, and Global Syn-Turf has a big distributor center in Jacksonville, we get our turf products to anywhere within Florida the next day! |
![]() | I definitely see and feel the benefit myself. |
![]() | Good to know. |
![]() | Make a lot of sense to me. |

Well HOAs are different from one to another. Some of the HOAs have less strict rules. In California, most of the HOAs are ok with artificial grass installations in the backyard without much of information needed. When it comes to the front yard, some HOAs can be more serious about what kind of artificial grass you put in. You can always download all the necessary information for HOAs to review at this link: https://www.globalsynturf.com/artificial-grass-specifications-specs.
And keep mind that it is not legal for the HOAs to decide that you can't install artificial grass in your property! Governor Jerry Brown has signed a bill into law for water conservation in 2015: Assembly Bill 2104. Here is the news link for the bill: https://www.sdcwa.org/governor-signs-water-authority-bill-preventing-hoas-banning-artificial-turf.
![]() | My HOA doesn't care anything we do in the backyard, only need to run by them for front yard though. |
![]() | My HOA doesn't care about that and quite a few houses in my community with artificial grass. And they didn't even talk about it at the HOA meetings. |
![]() | As an installer, we sometimes have to help homeowners to provide information needed. |
![]() | My HOA doesn't care about the fake grass, as long as drought tolerated landscaping. |
![]() | We don't have HOA here. |
![]() | If you are close by, we don't mind to present at your HOA meeting on artificial grass concerns. |
![]() | Good for California! You have a bill. I have a problem with HOA in North Carolina. Ideas , anyone? |
![]() | I don't have any issues with my HOA for my front yard, and I live in San Diego, California. |
![]() | Great links! |

The answer is "NO", even though artificial grass can take great pressures, but the twisting motion and rolling will definitely cause damage to the turf.
![]() | Driving on artificial grass is never recommend. However it will be fine if you use artificial turf in between pavers, in such cases, the tires motions are more on the pavers than directly to the turf. |
![]() | You never want to drive on artificial grass. |
![]() | I won't drive on mine for sure. |
![]() | Not a good idea to drive on any plastic surface, the artificial turf is essentially plastic. |
![]() | I have it in my back yard, no worries on driving on it. |
![]() | The twisting motion of tires will damage the artificial lawn. |
![]() | I have seen turf being ruined by tires: don't drive on it! |
![]() | That's a shame. You should be able to install synthetic turf just to drive on it. Day after day... |
![]() | Never thought a good idea to drive on turf. |
![]() | Well explained. |

Yes, as long as you can walk it, you can turf it! If the slop gets steep, you will need to watch out for the infills as it tends to be washed away easily, so you might not to want to put much of infills for such installations: by doing the installations without infills, you will need to minimize the seams and try to secure the edges as tight as possible by nailing firmly on the edge boards. As far as drainage, water will simply dispensed sideways.
![]() | My front yard has a mild slope to it, the installation was done perfectly! |
![]() | Great way you put it: you can walk it, you can turf it! |
![]() | I can see some minor sloped lawns making sense, not sure what the point to have artificial grass installed on a steep slope. |
![]() | I have a very mild slope, I think the installer might even created a bit of intentionally to better the drainage system. |
![]() | I have seen the slope with turf all the time. |
![]() | Turf installations on a slope are being done all the time, but takes pros to do them right. |
![]() | My yard has a 25 degree slope to it, the installation was done just fine. |
![]() | I don't think the turf installation on a slope would be a problem at all. |
![]() | I haven't come across installations that can't be done due to the slopes. |
![]() | We have customers installing turf vertically on the wall: like hanging carpet. Of course that is to the extreme, not necessarily apply to your concerns here. Just a comment. |
![]() | Mine has a small slope to it, works fine. |
![]() | I have seen some artificial turf installations on a slope in my community, and I live in San Diego. |
![]() | Good to know. |
I would go with the same one.

We have two different artificial putting green products on couple of Mr. Langer's properties: Pro Putt-44 and Putt-60BiColor. Both products are fantastic at professional grades, you can't go wrong with ether one. Here are the link for these two product: https://www.globalsynturf.com/catalog/golf
![]() | All our putting greens works well and at professional level. People find the 60 oz product can be a bit more difficult to infill. Colorwise, from dark to light: Putt-60BiColor - Pro Putt-44 - Putt-46BiColor. |
![]() | I think it helps, so far I haven't had any negative comments on my artificial grass. |
![]() | The color are different, to me, the Pro Putt-44s color is more vibrate and alive. |
![]() | Mr. Langer's putting greens look awesome! |
![]() | We have tested both of the turf and the results are very similar on Mr. Langer's properties. |
![]() | The Pro Putt-44 is my favorite! |
![]() | From the functionality standpoint, both putting greens will work perfectly! |
![]() | Good to know. |
![]() | I wish I will get mine soon. |
I am an artificial grass installer, new to this, some of the turf we have installed showed lines: only seeing them from certain angles, want to know if they are normal.
![]() | Dec 14, 2019 7:21 AM |
Lines on certain products can be more visible than others; such lines can be seen only from certain angles and non-visible from other angles. Replacement with the same turf will show the similar lines. Different products can look different, depending on the angles of the lights, and shading, same product can show no lines while be showing lines in another application: this is almost exactly like carpets, where you can see patterns/lines when you are paying attention.
Please understand that visual lines on turf products are normal: such lines are not considered as “defective”, therefore are not covered by our product warranty.
![]() | I personally like the 44, more like real green color. |
![]() | I was watching football games on TV, and most fields the turf look with lines all over the fields so I guess those are visuals. Otherwise those NFL teams spend millions on the turf, can't be product issues, just my personal thoughts. |
![]() | Sometimes you see them, sometimes you don't. Not sure such thing even bother anyone, no matter what, they look much better than real grass. |
![]() | I have looked mine and my neighbors, you have to look for them, otherwise, I don't think people pay attention to such lines. |
![]() | I never pay attention to the lines if any: The real grass never looks perfect anyway, in my opinion, the "less" perfect look to a fake turf the better as you want to achieve the "natural" look. |
![]() | Experienced installers understand the surroundings and lighting directions, and installing turf accordingly which can make some of lines less visible. |
![]() | Just like carpet, you can see some pattern lines from time to time. |
![]() | Our service team run into such questions quite often, and it normal with some visual lines showing at certain time of the day at certain angles: it is all visual, nothing wrong with the turf itself. |
![]() | I can see a bit lines at certain angle only during the sunset time, doesn't bother me at all. |
![]() | I have seen the same type of visual lines on my carper and that answers it. |
![]() | I can see lines on turf while watching NFL games on TV, and I assume those are normal. |

Areas that have been "matting down/twisting" are not manufacturing related. Such "matting down/twisting" issue shall be caused by usage, traffic or other unknown external forces. Most of our artificial grass products are with engineered blades which provide excellent resiliency. However, like any PE products, the enhanced can absolutely prolong the time frame of fibers "standing up", but depends on usage and traffic, certain areas will lay down sooner than less used and lighter traffic areas. It is always a good idea to rake or brush up the laying down areas when you start seeing it so the fibers won't build up their "memories" for laying down. Sometimes, adding more infills will help as well.
![]() | Law of physics |
![]() | I would think it is rather normal, when I walk on the turf, I leave footprint, and it goes back shortly after. But if the traffic is consistent, I doubt the turf will get back up easily. |
![]() | I don't have much going on with my turf, they have been looking good. |
![]() | I got the U Blade turf, it stands up really well. |
![]() | Law of physics, I wouldn't even believe it if people tell me the artificial turf fibers can always standup perfectly all the time, just a matter of time. |
![]() | Don't let the matted area stay down for long, as all artificial grass has a "memory", and they tends to remember being lay down and stay down. All Turf is made of PE and PP, type of plastic which have "memories". |
![]() | Constant dog movement on certain areas can cause turf laying down unevenly as well, |
![]() | Good to know. |
![]() | Brushing works for me! |
![]() | Thanks for the answer! |
Just bought and installed your turf for my house, how do I register the product warranty with you?
![]() | Dec 13, 2019 7:27 AM |
Congratulations on your new artificial grass lawn!
You can always find our warranty details by clicking on this link: https://www.globalsynturf.com/artificial-grass-specifications-specs
Here are my suggestions for you:
1. Keep a copy of your contract between you and our distributor/dealer: which should have turf product names, date of purchase, date of installation.
2. We, as the manufacturer will warrant the artificial turf products against any manufacturing defects, but not cover any labor related items.
3. You can always reach us via phone or emails listed on this site.
![]() | That's easy. |
![]() | this is one of the most important for me. Thanks for sharing. |
![]() | I just looked at their warranty sheet, has all the contact information on it. |
![]() | I have all the contracts for my installations and my installer gave me a copy of the turf warranty. |
![]() | Good to know. |
![]() | So it is not necessary to register, just keep all the original contract and records will do. |
![]() | The warranty in artificial turf industry works as "pro-rated" which is similar with tires, people needs to pay attention to read our warranty page for all the details. |
![]() | This answer helps a lot... |
Just got my new artificial turf lawn, wondering if it is ok for me to do BBQ on it?
![]() | Dec 13, 2019 7:21 AM |
Thanks for your question. The short answer is yes. However, I assume your concern is if fire drops on the turf, what will happen, correct?
Our artificial grass product is not flammable, you can find such information on this link: https://www.globalsynturf.com/artificial-grass-specifications-specs
However, I would like to remind you that even though our artificial turf won't catch on flame, but high heat and fire will burn and melt the products. So you will need to be careful while doing BBQ so charcoal or flames or high heat elements won't drop on the turf.
![]() | My family loves to BBQ on it and it works just fine. You should try it! |
![]() | When we design our yard, I had my BBQ on the pavers instead of turf. |
![]() | I do that all the time, no problems. |
![]() | Just be careful while doing BBQ on turf. |
![]() | I am doing it all the time, so far so good. |
![]() | It is very common people BBQ on artificial grass. Our reminder is: be careful, pick up any fire or hot charcoals immediately. |
![]() | Totally agree, David. |
![]() | This answers my concern. |
![]() | Make sense to me... |
