Frequently Asked Questions About SYNLawn Seattle Artificial Grass
What Is Artificial Grass Made Of?
Traditional artificial grass is normally made with materials including polyethylene, polypropylene, and nylon. Synthetic grass is held together with a backing system and can also include an infill or sometimes rubber crumbs. Artificial turf from SYNLawn Seattle is the first traditional grass alternative made with plant-based materials. We utilize renewable soybeans and sugarcane to replace harmful components that are bad for the environment.
How Long Does Artificial Grass Last?
From most manufacturers, you can expect that your landscape will last anywhere from 15-20 years or less, depending on the quality of the turf, installation, and its technologies. SYNLawn Seattle synthetic grass is designed to last a lifetime without any traditional maintenance. We utilize superior-quality materials and back our Seattle, WA, artificial grass with an unmatched lifetime warranty.
Is Artificial Grass Safe for Children and Pets?
Absolutely! Artificial turf is often designed specifically to accommodate all ages and pets. Many homeowners choose artificial turf over conventional grass because of this. Our SYNLawn Seattle turf includes a highly effective antimicrobial by Sanitized®, which eliminates up to 99% of bacteria. In addition, our synthetic turf does not require pesticides, is free of lead and harsh chemicals, and is manufactured PFAs-free.
Does Artificial Grass Get Hot?
Artificial turf can get warm under direct sunlight as it can absorb heat like dark clothing. Fortunately, SYNLawn-exclusive innovations prevent this, keeping your landscape comfortable. At SYNLawn Seattle, we offer our exclusive HeatBlock technology with many of our synthetic grass varieties. HeatBlock is scientifically proven to help combat heat emissivity and keep surface temperatures up to 20% cooler than other competing brands.
Does Artificial Grass Fade Over Time?
Although it is possible, quality artificial grass products are designed to resist fading from UV exposure. Our Seattle artificial turf features UV-stabilized nylon fibers that resist fading year-round. Our DualChill IR reflective technology, which is part of our Super Yarn™ formula, also reflects infrared light to further prevent fading.
Is Artificial Grass Environmentally Friendly?
Synthetic grass is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional sod. This is because it allows customers to eliminate grass-powered lawn equipment and irrigation systems. In addition to significantly lowering carbon emissions and saving water, SYNLawn Seattle turf does not need to wind up in a nearby landfill. We produce lawn care products that can be recycled and suitable for reuse in the future.
How Safe Is Playground Turf?
When compared to alternatives such as sand, pea gravel, cement, and more, turf can be considered a safer alternative for playground surfacing. At SYNLawn Seattle, our top priority lies in ensuring safety through rigorous testing of our playground turf, considering factors such as fall height, muscle strain reduction, and injury prevention. Our pride stems from safety certifications awarded by esteemed organizations like IPEMA, ADA, CSA, HIC, and ASTM, highlighting our dedication to producing playground turf that prioritizes safety for all users.
Can Playground Turf and Athletic Turf Increase Susceptibility to Infections?
MRSA and other staph infections can occur irrespective of the playing surface, primarily stemming from inadequate hygiene practices. This is because they are transmitted through close interpersonal contact, particularly among athletic team members or kids playing on the playground.
SYNLawn playground turf and athletic turf are treated with a powerful antimicrobial by Sanitized®, providing exceptional protection. This treatment efficiently destroys and prevents the growth of bacteria on turf surfaces. Additionally, it hinders the growth of algae and fungi, which can exacerbate respiratory allergies.
How Does Artificial Grass Contribute to Water Conservation?
Artificial turf helps to eliminate the over-watering of lawns and large-scale landscapes. It is a highly effective method of combating drought conditions. Our Seattle artificial grass can help conserve nearly one-third of your monthly water consumption. We save our customers thousands of gallons of water and can help save you up to 70% on your water bills.
What Is the Latest in Artificial Grass for Sports Fields or Playgrounds?
The latest in artificial grass includes many options for playgrounds and sports fields. Synthetic turf is designed to meet commercial safety standards and resist heavy foot traffic while eliminating maintenance. At SYNLawn Seattle, we independently test our turf options to meet proper fall height attenuations and reduce muscle strain and common injuries. SYNLawn was the first to recognize the need for IPEMA-certified synthetic turf that is safer for all ages and skill levels.
Are There Any New Technologies in Artificial Grass Production?
Many new innovations and technologies are being developed across the artificial grass industry. These aid with installation techniques, the longevity of your turf, its appearance, and so much more. SYNLawn instills more than 50 years of research and development into all its artificial turf varieties. As a result, we are able to offer a growing list of exclusive technologies not found anywhere else on our market.

As a result, we are now the first supplier of USDA-certified synthetic grass in Seattle, WA, and can replace up to 80% of petroleum-based components with plant-based alternatives thanks to their assistance.
How Durable is Putting Green Turf?
