I'm fairly new to the landscaping industry, but adding artificial grass as one of my products was one the best choices I've made. My company has grown three fold but I attribute much of my success to GST. They helped me when I first started my company and lead me through the ups and downs by being an amazing supplier. I've tried a few other suppliers to experiment, but I noticed that a lot of them try to penny pinch you and don't really care how your company is doing. I think it's important for a partnership with a supplier to go beyond just the money, and I'm glad I have that with GST. Thanks!
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?
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.

There are really not much of major differences between these two series other than the profile of the fiber and the color. Functions and performances for both artificial grass series are very similar, so if it is up to me to make a choice for my back yard, I will go with the color I like better: Riviera Monterey series’s color is a bit lighter and vibrant; the SBlade series’s color is a bit darker and more mature. When choosing an artificial grass product, another tip I can offer is to find a color similar to the natural grass in your area so make your turf blend in much better with even the natural grass in your neighborhood.

All our artificial grass designed and manufactured to be toxic free and kid friendly. Even though at the hand feel some turf might be a bit stiffer compared with others, but my experience is that once they are installed and in a warm day, all fibers will become soft enough to be pleasant for kids to play on. For softer feeling artificial grass, the best choice will be our cashmere series, you will find these products with the best soft feel in the market.
