What to Look for When Buying Artificial Turf

Buying artificial turf online or from a supplier is straightforward if you know the key specifications. The most important factors are pile height, face weight, fibre type, and drainage capacity. Pile height (measured in mm) determines how the turf looks and feels — taller pile gives a lusher, more natural appearance for residential lawns. Face weight (measured in ounces per square yard) indicates density: higher face weight means more fibres, better durability, and longer lifespan, particularly important for high-traffic areas, pet runs, and playgrounds.

Fibre type affects both appearance and performance. Polyethylene (PE) remains the most popular choice for residential synthetic lawns — it is soft, maintains realistic green colour under UV exposure, and performs reliably through Canadian winters. Nylon is the toughest synthetic fibre and is the standard for backyard putting greens where precise ball roll and durability under repeated use are required. When in doubt, our team can walk you through specifications and arrange product samples before you commit to a purchase.

Artificial Turf by Application — Which Product Is Right for You?

Different applications have different requirements, and selecting the right turf from the start saves money and ensures long-term satisfaction. For residential front and back lawns, a 35–40mm PE turf with 50–70 oz face weight delivers the most natural look with minimal visible seams and easy maintenance. For backyard turf installations, consider a slightly denser product if children use the area frequently.

For pet-friendly turf, drainage is the most critical specification. Opt for turf with perforated backing rated at 30+ inches per hour and pair it with zeolite infill to neutralize odours. For playground turf, safety standards require a G-max rating compliant with ASTM F1292 — our playground products meet these requirements and can be installed over rubber underlayment for additional fall protection.

For putting greens and short-game practice areas, only specialist nylon low-pile turf (typically 10–15mm) delivers the consistent ball speed and accuracy required. Speed and grain can also be adjusted by selecting specific nylon turf grades — something our team regularly assists residential golf enthusiasts with across the GTA.

DIY Installation vs. Professional Installation — What's the Difference?

Artificial turf can be purchased for DIY installation or installed professionally. Many homeowners successfully install turf on smaller projects — patios, balconies, side yards — with the right preparation and tools. However, the most common mistake DIY installers make is skipping the base preparation. Turf laid directly on soil or sand without a compacted crushed stone base will develop drainage issues, humps, and edge failures within a few seasons.

Our professional artificial turf installation service covers full site preparation, grading, crushed stone base compaction, turf cutting, seaming, nailing, and infill — backed by our workmanship warranty. For projects over 500 sq ft, or anywhere drainage is a concern, professional installation is almost always the more cost-effective long-term choice.

Artificial Turf Maintenance in Ontario — What to Expect

One of the most compelling reasons homeowners across Toronto and the GTA switch to artificial turf is dramatically reduced ongoing maintenance costs. Once installed on a proper base, synthetic grass requires no mowing, watering, fertilizing, reseeding, or aerating — ever. In a region where natural lawns often require weekly mowing from May through October and struggle to recover from summer drought and winter frost damage, the time and cost savings are substantial.

Routine care for artificial turf involves occasional brushing to keep fibres upright (especially in high-traffic areas), rinsing to remove dust and debris, and periodic top-up of infill material. Pet owners should rinse the turf regularly and consider antimicrobial zeolite infill for ongoing odour control. Leaves and organic debris can be removed with a leaf blower or soft rake. Snow can be cleared with a plastic shovel — never use metal-edged tools that may damage fibres.
