Sierra Super 94 has a plush, thick pile that feels incredible when walking barefoot. We installed it in our backyard for a picnic area, and it’s become everyone’s favorite hangout spot. No wear so far, even with frequent use.
Great question! This response will contain a lot of information, so let’s break it down into two sections, starting with the “clean” factor regarding different types of plastics. Hypothetically, let’s assume that the product was made of 100% recycled materials. Depending on how the materials are re-processed, post-consumer is usually the least “clean” when compared to virgin or actual plastic because of the variability of the feedstock. Even with blending, which adds overall strength, neither post-consumer nor post-industrial recycled materials can ever achieve 100% of mechanical properties of virgin materials. The degradation of these properties has a direct effect on safety factors and long term performance measures such as fatigue. This is not to say recycled plastics cannot be used in various applications, but does explain why recycled materials often have lower safety ratings. In other words, theoretically, you could have a 100% recycled material product. However, this product would never pass safety tests due to how weak the material would be. At GST, while we do care about the environment, safety is ALWAYS a top priority, as can be seen on our lead and UV testing results.

Read Answer: Are your artificial grass comfortable to walk on barefoot?
Our yarns used on artificial grass products are different from one to another. Actually the term of “thickness” can be a bit misleading, some yarns can be a bit wider but thinner so it will be inaccurate to say that yarn is “thicker”. The best way to describe a yarn is Dtex which is the weight per 10,000 meters so that regardless the shapes or “thickness” of a yarn. We have all the Dtex information on each of our product on the specification sheet on our website, and here is the link: https://www.globalsynturf.com/artificial-grass-specifications-specs.

Read Answer: How thick are you turf yarns? Same for all turfs?
All our artificial grass products provide excellent value combination of cost, quality and warranty. In my personal opinion, our products ranging from 60 to 70 oz might give you the best value for the money. The least expensive options will be our products with 50 oz face weight.You can fin out all the artificial grass product details at this link: https://www.globalsynturf.com/catalog/landscape-lawns
Read Answer: Which turf is the most economically friendly option?
We always want to compare the artificial grass with real grass lawn when discussing about environmental benefits. Real grass lawn requires a lot of water, on average, 60% of a household water bills goes to thirsty lawns so it is a waste of resources. More importantly, people might have a terribly wrong impressions of real grass lawns are natural therefore it is good for environment, that might be particularly true, why? Maintenance of real grass lawns can have very negative impact on our environment: the pollutions caused by lawn mowers are worse than vehicles’ emissions:
Read Answer: What makes this eco friendly or environmental friendly?
Most of the time you won’t need to worry about turf maintenance and cleaning unless there is constant traffics/usage or things need to be removed such as leaves or pet waste. A leaf blower can be used to give your turf surface a general clean, and you will need to pick up the dog waste as you normally do on natural grass.
