Structural Performance
SYNAugustine 347 offers moderate durability suitable for typical residential and light commercial 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. Lower stitch rate may reduce fiber anchoring, increasing the risk of wear and fiber loss over time.
Excellent drainage minimizes water retention and supports fast surface recovery.

Safety
SYNAugustine 347 meets ADA accessibility standards based on documented compliance. High drainage helps maintain a dry and stable surface, supporting accessibility under wet conditions.
SYNAugustine 347 by SynLawn is designed to reduce heat buildup and maintain a cooler surface. IR-reflective technology reduces heat absorption and lowers surface temperature, while lighter yarn colors reflect more sunlight, reducing heat buildup.

Comfort / Experience
SYNAugustine 347 provides a soft and cushioned surface feel. Long pile height (1.875") enhances softness but may reduce surface control and consistency under load. However, more rigid blade shapes increase structural support and fiber resilience, slightly reducing overall surface feel.
SYNAugustine 347 by SynLawn provides a highly realistic appearance with strong natural variation and depth. Multiple yarn color tones create natural variation, enhancing visual realism, while multiple thatch tones enhance depth and closely mimic the layered look of natural grass and delustered fibers reduce shine, improving visual realism. Uniform blade shape may limit texture variation, making the surface appear more artificial.

Maitenance Scores
SYNAugustine 347 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 structured blade profiles that resist debris accumulation and support easier cleaning, along with excellent drainage that helps quickly clear debris from the surface.
SYNAugustine 347 by SynLawn provides moderate debris resistance with some accumulation over time. Structured blade profiles promote debris shedding and reduce buildup, while excellent drainage allows rapid clearing of debris from the surface. Long pile height traps debris and reduces surface accessibility.
SYNAugustine 347 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. Long pile height may increases fiber bending and susceptibility to flattening.

Installation Efficiency
SYNAugustine 347 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, higher backing weight improves stability and resistance to deformation.
SYNAugustine 347 by SynLawn 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.
SYNAugustine 347 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.
