SYNFescue 80
SYNFescue 80 is a high-performance artificial turf designed for multiple residential and specialty applications, offering exceptional softness, natural-looking appearance, and moderate durability for typical residential use.
With a 1.75-inch pile height and 80 oz face weight, this turf provides a balanced combination of surface structure and comfort. Its drainage rate of 400 in/hr provides high drainage capacity suitable for pet applications, positioning it within its category based on its structural and material characteristics. It performs consistently across rooftops, patios, and hardscape installations and related residential applications.
SYNFescue 80 by SynLawn is an artificial grass product with 1.75-inch pile height and 80 oz/yd² face weight, featuring polyethylene yarn with C and S-shaped blades and 28 oz/yd² polypropylene and polyester 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
SYNFescue 80 provides basic durability with some limitations under heavier use. Polyethylene fibers offer good durability with moderate resistance to wear and deformation, while higher yarn denier improves fiber strength and resistance to wear under regular use, reinforced blade profiles improve structural rigidity and support fiber recovery under repeated use.
High drainage efficiently moves water through the surface layer.

Safety
SYNFescue 80 meets ADA accessibility standards based on documented compliance. High drainage helps maintain a dry and stable surface, supporting accessibility under wet conditions.
SYNFescue 80 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
SYNFescue 80 provides a soft and cushioned surface feel. Slightly longer pile height (1.75") increases softness, though added height begins to reduce surface stability.
SYNFescue 80 by SynLawn 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 and multiple blade shapes introduce some texture variation, improving visual realism. Very high turf density produces an overly uniform surface, limiting natural visual variation.

Maitenance Scores
SYNFescue 80 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.
SYNFescue 80 by SynLawn 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. Very dense turf significantly limits debris movement and retention.
SYNFescue 80 offers strong resistance to flattening with good fiber recovery over time. Structured blade profiles improve resistance to flattening and support strong fiber recovery.

Installation Efficiency
SYNFescue 80 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.
SYNFescue 80 by SynLawn provides good seam alignment with low visibility under proper installation. Tight stitch gauge allows precise alignment and improves seam invisibility.
SYNFescue 80 offers good cutting performance with manageable effort. Flexible backing materials improve cutting precision and reduce resistance.
