Frequently Asked Questions About New York Artificial Grass

Commercial artificial grass lawn from SYNLawn

Traditional artificial turf is made from materials including nylon, polypropylene, and polyethylene. It is then held together with a fabric backing system and sometimes includes a rubber crumb infill or other type of infill. However, at SYNLawn New York, our artificial grass is the first to be manufactured and sold in our market PFAS-free with plant-based materials derived from sugar cane and soybean oil. We also never include a rubber crumb infill in our installations; instead, we offer an acrylic sand infill from Envirofill®.

The lifetime of traditional synthetic grass is dependent on the materials it is made of. Typically, it can last 15–20 years or less, depending on the level of activity it experiences. At SYNLawn New York, our artificial turf is designed to last 20+ with minimal effort. This is because we only utilize high-quality materials to provide superior durability, performance, and reliability. We also back our turf with an unmatched lifetime warranty.

Synthetic turf is a safer alternative to natural grass. At SYNLawn New York, our artificial turf is free of harsh chemicals, heavy metals, pesticides, and is manufactured free of PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals.” Our turf is also engineered to provide cooler surface temperatures and is coated with Sanitized® antimicrobial, included in our Super Yarn™ technology, which eliminates up to 99% of bacteria from the turf.

Artificial turf is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional grass. This is because it does not require gas-powered lawn equipment or frequent and heavy watering to keep it looking its best. In addition, our SYNLawn New York artificial turf not only helps save water and reduces carbon emissions, but it also avoids ending up in a local landfill due to its recyclability. SYNLawn turf is made from plant-based materials and is manufactured PFAS-free. Even commercial green builders can earn LEED points for the use of SYNLawn in their projects. 

New technologies are developed every year in our industry. SYNLawn has developed a long list of exclusive technologies that are the result of more than 50 years of research and development. These technologies enhance durability, installation longevity, performance, and eco-friendliness. We are always exploring the endless possibilities for our New York faux grass to accommodate our customers in every way possible.

Some of our new technologies include our first-of-its-kind Super Yarn™ turf yarn formula, EnviroLoc+™ backing system, plant-based turf composition, HeatBlock™ technology, SuperDrain™ technology, and more.

The turf market offers a wide range of environmentally friendly choices. Every day, there is a rising demand for environmentally friendly artificial grass products, and manufacturers are responding. SYNLawn produces our New York synthetic grass in collaboration with US farmers. We offer the first line of USDA-certified artificial grass with 60–80% plant and bio-based material thanks to their assistance.

As mentioned, artificial turf does not require irrigation to keep it healthy. At SYNLawn New York, our synthetic turf is capable of conserving nearly one-third of the water you spend on lawn care. This can be anywhere from thousands to tens of thousands of gallons of water per year, depending on whether you are a commercial or residential property. In addition, you will be happy to know that we can also help save you on your water bill. 

SYNLawn conducts independent surface testing to ensure compliance with industry safety standards. Our New York faux grass has obtained IPEMA certification. It has proven to be an efficient shock absorber with subbase cushioning, helping to reduce common injuries and cushion falls up to ten feet.

Traditional artificial turf can become hot in the summer and in warmer climates. This is because, much like dark clothing, it can absorb heat. However, with our HeatBlock™ technology, our incredible synthetic grass has been scientifically tested and proven to reduce surface temperatures up to 20% cooler than competing synthetic turf brands.

Alternative fake grass brands will fade from long-term sun exposure. Fortunately, many innovations have been developed at SYNLawn to combat discoloration. As a result, our team offers UV-stabilized turf fibers to prevent fading. With DualChill™ technology, our New York synthetic turf reflects infrared light to help provide your lawn with IR light protection to maintain a vibrant and luxurious look.

HOAs are sometimes apprehensive about allowing residents to install synthetic turf. This is because they are passionate about lawn continuity and maintaining a proper appearance according to their guidelines.

Fortunately, SYNLawn New York artificial grass has become a beloved choice for many HOAs as it is an incredibly realistic grass alternative. It glows green year-round and will always look well-grown and well-kempt. It is so realistic that some maintenance crews have even tried to mow it! With our many varieties available, we are certain to find an option that will effortlessly integrate into your neighborhood. Also, since SYNLawn is plant-based, it is also popular in housing communities that promote environmental sustainability.

 Typically, artificial grass is known to withstand the winter. 

Choosing SYNLawn New York artificial turf allows clients to resume their activities on their gorgeous green lawn once the snow melts. Our artificial includes many innovations that allow it to drain effortlessly, resist freezing, and avoid fading. In addition, you do not have to worry about mud finding its way into your house.

Throughout the turf industry, there are many options for putting green turf. However, not all of them will ensure that your performance remains consistent. 

SYNLawn New York putting green turf is designed in partnership with Dave Pelz. Dave has coached the likes of Phil Mickelson and is a former NASA physicist who shares the same passion for utilizing the highest quality materials possible and replicating the appearance and behaviors of traditional grass as closely as possible. As a result, our New York golf turf provides PGA-caliber surfacing that is proven to help improve your scores and performance.

Yes! Our artificial putting green turf can be customized to meet your specifications. 

SYNLawn New York offers fairway, fringe, rough, and collar options. We also offer obstacles such as sand traps, slopes, undulations, bunkers, and more to increase your challenge. SYNLawn golf greens are perfect for backyards, mini-golf courses, full-sized courses, and more.

Many companies have taken strides to provide artificial grass that can combat water accumulation, mud, and more. 

However, SYNLawn has created its exclusive SuperDrain+™ technology to alleviate this concern. SuperDrain+ is part of our EnviroLoc+™ backing system. With its porous body, EnviroLoc+ drains with a maximum drainage rate of up to 1,200 inches per hour. This unprecedented achievement is 40 times greater than any rainfall in the USA, making it easy to eliminate muddy paws and drain liquids, even from pet waste.

While this may seem like a strange question, not all turf that is installed for pet use is made with your pet in mind. SYNLawn New York pet turf systems, however, are 100% pet-friendly. Our NY pet grass is made with plant-based materials. They are free of harsh chemicals and metals, and our pet turf does not require pesticides or harmful fertilizers. It is also allergen-free and manufactured PFAS-free.

Artificial grass is one of the fastest-growing landscape alternatives for commercial landscape installation.

SYNLawn New York faux grass is a top choice for business owners. Our commercial-grade artificial turf is designed to withstand heavy foot traffic, is Class A fire-rated, and always looks beautiful. Installing it allows business owners to take their focus off lawn care and feel confident that they will always create a strong and lasting first impression on their customers. It will also allow you to reinvest your time and money into your products, services, and more.

Infections, including MRSA and other staph infections, are the result of poor hygiene and improper care of traditional turf or conventional grass.

At SYNLawn New York, we utilize highly effective antimicrobial properties, including Sanitized® and Envirofill®, for this very reason. Their powerful components prevent bacteria from forming on our surfaces, as well as prevent the buildup of algae and fungal growth that are known to spread bacteria. As a result, we have become a top choice for sports facilities as well as school superintendents because our turf can help prevent these bacterial infections.
