Artificial Grass Specifications Guide

Artificial grass pile height refers to the length of turf fibers from the backing to the tip. It plays a major role in how synthetic grass looks, feels, and performs across residential lawns, pet areas, and sports applications.

Artificial grass density refers to how closely turf fibers are packed together and is a key factor in durability, appearance, and overall performance. A denser turf structure means more fibers per square foot, resulting in a fuller look, better support underfoot, and improved resistance to wear over time. Density plays a major role in how artificial grass performs in real-world conditions, especially in high-traffic areas, pet applications, and residential lawns. Unlike individual specifications such as pile height or face weight, turf density is shaped by multiple construction elements working together. Understanding how density is formed - and how to compare it correctly - helps identify products that maintain their shape, recover after use, and deliver long-term value. In Turf Catalog, density is evaluated using a normalized approach called Effective Turf Density, allowing for more accurate comparisons between products with different pile heights and construction styles.

Artificial grass face weight measures the amount of yarn used per square yard (oz/yd²) and is one of the most important factors affecting turf density, durability, and overall performance.
