The artificial grass experts from SYNLawn Sacramento share details on our different turf products and services available in Sacramento, CA. Discover more about us, our services, our commitments, and most importantly, our exceptional synthetic turf as we answer some FAQs below:

What Is Artificial Grass Made Of?

Traditional synthetic turf is typically made from nylon, polyethylene, and polypropylene. It is often held together with a backing system and sometimes includes a rubber crumb. Our SYNLawn artificial turf utilizes renewable materials, including sugar cane, to create the first and only plant-based composition of artificial turf. We also will never use rubber crumb infill. Instead, we replace it with the acrylic sand Envirofill®. SYNLawn Sacramento artificial grass is also manufactured PFAS-free and is the first synthetic turf company in the area to receive certifications from the USDA for the use of bio-based materials within our turf.

How Long Does Artificial Grass Last?

Competing artificial turf brands are rated to last on average for 15–20 years or less. A turf’s lifespan is the result of the materials utilized, the quality of the installation, and the level of activity that your landscape is exposed to. At SYNLawn Sacramento, we only ever use the highest-quality materials available to help ensure our high standard of quality. As a result, Our Sacramento artificial turf is designed to last longer than 20 years without any traditional maintenance. Additionally, our SYNLawn turf is installed with precision by our highly skilled installation experts. With our professional installation, your lawn will not require frequent and expensive repairs or need to be replaced only after a few years of use. We are so confident in the lifespan of our turf that we back it with an unmatched lifetime warranty.

Is Artificial Grass Safe for Children and Pets?

Artificial grass is safer for children and pets. Many traditional turf solutions are designed specifically to accommodate them. At SYNLawn Sacramento, we take child and pet safety even farther. Our SYNLawn Sacramento synthetic grass is hypoallergenic, antimicrobial, and free of harsh chemicals and heavy metals. SYNLawn turf is manufactured PFAS-free, also referred to as “forever chemicals.” We design our turf to help accommodate everyone who utilizes it. We also utilize the highly effective Sanitized® antimicrobial found in our exclusive Super Yarn™ technology, which eliminates up to 99% of bacteria.

Does Artificial Grass Get Hot?

Competing artificial grass brands can get hot during the summer and in hotter parts of the country. However, many innovations have been developed by SYNLawn to combat this common issue. SYNLawn manufactures its turf with the one and only HeatBlock™ technology. HeatBlock™ prevents heat build-up and can keep your luxury lawn up to 20% cooler than other turf technology on the market.

Does Artificial Grass Fade Over Time?

Alternative synthetic grass is prone to fading over time. However, manufacturers are discovering new ways to prevent turf fibers from losing color. Sacramento artificial turf from SYNLawn is UV-resistant and reflects IR light with DualChill™ technology, resulting in year-round vibrance. As a result, our SYNLawn turf resists fading over time!

Is Artificial Grass Environmentally Friendly?

Artificial turf is a fantastic method to lessen your carbon footprint and set the green trend in your community, as it does not require water or traditional maintenance requirements.

Are There Sustainable or Eco-Friendly Options for Artificial Grass?

There are many sustainable options in the artificial turf industry. The demand for eco-friendly options is growing daily, and manufacturers are accommodating. Sacramento synthetic grass from SYNLawn is manufactured in partnership with American farmers. With their help, we have developed the first collection of USDA-certified artificial turf that contains 60 to 80% plant and bio-based content made from sugar cane and soybean oil. With this achievement, we can help commercial green builders earn LEED points for their commercial green builds by conserving water and applying recyclable and renewable products to their projects.

How Does Artificial Grass Contribute to Water Conservation?

Artificial turf eliminates the need for daily watering. In places where drought conditions are severe, turf is a highly effective way to aid in water conservation. Sacramento artificial turf from SYNLawn eliminates the need for irrigation systems. You no longer have to spend up to two-thirds of your average water consumption on lawn care. Depending on the lawn size, a single lawn that switches to SYNLawn can help save tens of thousands of gallons of water per year.

What Is the Latest in Artificial Grass for Sports Fields or Playgrounds?
