Riviera Pro
Riviera Pro is a balanced-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 70 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.
Riviera Pro by Everlast is an artificial grass product with 1.75-inch pile height and 70 oz/yd² face weight, featuring polyethylene yarn with M Shape-shaped blades and 27 oz/yd² polypropylene backing.
The Universal Turf Rating (UTR) is a standardized 0–10 score calculated from normalized specifications - including face weight, pile height, yarn denier, and drainage - to provide an objective comparison of synthetic turf performance.

Structural Performance
Riviera Pro 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, higher yarn denier improves fiber strength and resistance to wear under regular use.
Moderate drainage allows partial flow but may retain moisture under load.

Safety
Riviera Pro may support accessible use, but no formal ADA compliance documentation is available. Long pile height reduces stability and may affect mobility.
Riviera Pro by Everlast 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
Riviera Pro provides a soft and cushioned surface feel. Slightly longer pile height (1.75") increases softness, though added height begins to reduce surface stability.
Riviera Pro 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
Riviera Pro 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.
Riviera Pro 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.
Riviera Pro 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.

Installation Efficiency
Riviera Pro 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.
Riviera Pro by Everlast provides good seam alignment with low visibility under proper installation. Moderate gauge supports good seam alignment with minimal visibility, while stable backing minimizes movement and improves seam consistency, high density supports good seam concealment.
Riviera Pro offers good cutting performance with manageable effort. Flexible backing materials improve cutting precision and reduce resistance, while moderate gauge allows easier blade access and smoother cuts.
