Structural Performance

Clover provides basic durability with some limitations under heavier use. Polyethylene fibers offer good durability with moderate resistance to wear and deformation, while reinforced blade profiles improve structural rigidity and support fiber recovery under repeated use.

High drainage efficiently moves water through the surface layer.

Safety

Clover may support accessible use, but no formal ADA compliance documentation is available. High drainage helps maintain a dry and stable surface, supporting accessibility under wet conditions. Long pile height reduces stability and may affect mobility.

Clover by TigerTurf is prone to heat buildup and may reach higher surface temperatures. Lighter yarn colors reflect more sunlight, reducing heat buildup, while polyethylene fibers reduce heat retention compared to other materials. No infrared-reflective technology is specified, which may increase heat retention.

Comfort / Experience

Clover provides a soft and cushioned surface feel. Slightly longer pile height (1.625") increases softness, though added height begins to reduce surface stability. However, more rigid blade shapes increase structural support and fiber resilience, slightly reducing overall surface feel.

Clover by TigerTurf offers a natural-looking surface with moderate visual variation. Multiple thatch tones enhance depth and closely mimic the layered look of natural grass, while optimal pile height creates natural depth and proportion, closely resembling real grass. Uniform blade shape may limit texture variation, making the surface appear more artificial.

Maitenance Scores

Clover requires regular maintenance to manage debris and surface cleanliness. Longer pile height increases debris retention, requiring more frequent cleaning, while very high turf density significantly limits accessibility, making maintenance more difficult. This is partially offset by structured blade profiles that resist debris accumulation and support easier cleaning, while very good drainage supports consistent cleaning performance.

Clover by TigerTurf provides moderate debris resistance with some accumulation over time. Structured blade profiles promote debris shedding and reduce buildup, while very good drainage supports consistent debris removal. High turf density traps debris and may increases buildup.

Clover offers strong resistance to flattening with good fiber recovery over time. Structured blade profiles improve resistance to flattening and support strong fiber recovery.

Warranty

SGW offers tiered warranties - 15-year for landscape turf and 3–8 years for putting greens-covering material defects, UV degradation, and abnormal fiber breakdown under normal use, but like most turf warranties, it is limited to material protection only, excluding installation issues, misuse, environmental damage, matting from traffic, and heat damage from window reflection, with claims typically restricted to repair, replacement, or material credit rather than full project coverage.

Installation Efficiency

Clover provides excellent backing stability, maintaining structural integrity and consistent performance after installation. High-quality primary backing materials provide strong dimensional stability and resistance to deformation, while high-performance secondary backing materials enhance structural integrity and improve fiber lock, high tuft bind strength securely anchors fibers, reducing pull-out and improving stability.

Clover by TigerTurf allows precise seam alignment with minimal visibility when installed correctly. Tight stitch gauge allows precise alignment and improves seam invisibility, while stable backing minimizes movement and improves seam consistency.

Clover offers good cutting performance with manageable effort. Flexible backing materials improve cutting precision and reduce resistance.
