Structural Performance

Lush 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, thick yarn fibers enhance durability and maintain structural integrity under repeated use. Longer pile height increases fiber bending and stress, reducing resistance to long-term wear.

High drainage efficiently moves water through the surface layer.

Safety

Lush 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.

Lush by TigerTurf 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

Lush provides a soft and cushioned surface feel. Long pile height (2") enhances softness but may reduce surface control and consistency under load. However, higher yarn denier (14000) increases fiber stiffness, limiting surface feel and cushioning.

Lush by TigerTurf provides a reasonably natural appearance, though some uniformity may be visible. Multiple thatch tones enhance depth and closely mimic the layered look of natural grass, while a combination of blade shapes creates natural texture variation, enhancing realism. Limited yarn color variation results in a more uniform and less natural appearance.

Maitenance Scores

Lush requires regular maintenance to manage debris and surface cleanliness. High pile height traps debris and reduces accessibility, while dense turf structure further increases maintenance effort. This is partially offset by very good drainage supports consistent cleaning performance, while polyethylene fibers reduce debris adhesion and support easier cleaning.

Lush by TigerTurf tends to retain debris and may require periodic cleaning. Long pile height trap debris, while high turf density further increases buildup and increases buildup. This is partially offset by very good drainage supports consistent debris removal.

Lush offers strong resistance to flattening with good fiber recovery over time. High turf density enhances structural support and helps maintain fiber position, while thicker yarn fibers improve resilience and reduce flattening under use. Long pile height may increases fiber bending and susceptibility to flattening.

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

Lush provides moderate backing stability suitable for standard installation conditions. 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.

Lush by TigerTurf provides good seam alignment with low visibility under proper installation. Tight stitch gauge allows precise alignment and improves seam invisibility, while high density supports good seam concealment. Longer fibers make seam alignment more difficult.

Lush provides moderate cutting ease with some resistance during installation. Flexible backing materials improve cutting precision and reduce resistance. Long pile height may increases drag and reduces cutting precision.
