Emerald
Emerald is a moderate-performance artificial turf designed for general residential landscapes, offering exceptional softness, natural-looking appearance, and moderate durability for typical residential use.
With a 1.75-inch pile height and 68 oz face weight, this turf provides a balanced combination of surface structure and comfort. Its drainage rate of 30 in/hr provides lower drainage capacity compared to high-performance systems, positioning it within its category based on its structural and material characteristics.

Structural Performance
Emerald provides basic durability with some limitations under heavier use. Polyethylene fibers offer good durability with moderate resistance to wear and deformation, while high turf density enhances durability and stability under repeated use, reinforced blade profiles improve structural rigidity and support fiber recovery under repeated use.
Moderate drainage allows partial flow but may retain moisture under load.

Safety
Emerald may support accessible use, but no formal ADA compliance documentation is available. Long pile height reduces stability and may affect mobility.
Emerald by Everlast is prone to heat buildup and may reach higher surface temperatures. Polyethylene fibers reduce heat retention compared to other materials. No infrared-reflective technology is specified, which may increase heat retention.

Comfort / Experience
Emerald provides a soft and cushioned surface feel. Slightly longer pile height (1.75") 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.
Emerald by Everlast 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
Emerald requires regular maintenance to manage debris and surface cleanliness. Longer pile height increases debris retention, requiring more frequent cleaning, while dense turf structure reduces accessibility, increasing maintenance effort. This is partially offset by structured blade profiles that resist debris accumulation and support easier cleaning, while polyethylene fibers reduce debris adhesion and support easier cleaning.
Emerald by Everlast provides moderate debris resistance with some accumulation over time. Structured blade profiles promote debris shedding and reduce buildup. High turf density traps debris and may increases buildup.
Emerald offers strong resistance to flattening with good fiber recovery over time. Structured blade profiles improve resistance to flattening and support strong fiber recovery, while high turf density enhances structural support and helps maintain fiber position.

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
Emerald 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.
Emerald by Everlast 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, high density supports good seam concealment.
Emerald offers good cutting performance with manageable effort. Flexible backing materials improve cutting precision and reduce resistance.
