All artificial grass yarn falls into the category of either slit film or monofilament. The obvious questions is which one is the best choice?
Slit film is made exactly as the name implies. It is extruded as a solid sheet and slit into smaller ribbons or tapes. Therefore, slit film does a good job of immulating wider blade grass when viewed from a distance. Slit film also has the advantage that it can be extruded at higher output rates than monofilament; therefore, a lower cost. The disadvantage is a slit film yarn will always be basically a flat yarn. Most real, wider-blade grass viewed up close has a spine that cannot be immulated with a slit film yarn. This spine also acts as a support and provides it with rigidity.
Monofilament is extruded where each individual fiber is extruded out of an individual hole. This allows the manufacturer to make a variety of cross sections or shapes. This may lead to higher cost due to lower output rates; however, it makes a yarn that is pound per pound superior to a slit film yarn. It also makes a yarn that can be made to very closely copy the look and feel of real grass.
The best example that people can relate to is a beam made of steel. A flat piece of steel does not have much rigidity or stiffness when compared to steel configured as an I beam. In our case the flat piece of steel would be a slit film yarn, and a monofilament could be extruded with a spine similar to the concept of an I beam.
In summary, as a purchaser of artificial grass consumers should be aware that using a monofilament yarn may be slightly higher in initial cost. However, the resulting product can use different monofilament cross sections to maximize the properties that are required for their end use.

We like to share installation techniques from time to time. This time around, we’ll share some suggestions regarding proper staking techniques.
The recommended stakes for installation are 5.5" galvanized roofing nails. They should be galvanized to prevent rust. The head of the nail is approximately 1/4" in diameter.

You know that SYNLawn aids in the conservation of water, eradicates the use of harmful fertilizers and pesticides, saves you time and money spent in lawn care and is safe around your pets. Sometimes, however, people simply want a general overview and explore from there on their own. This is for those people.
SYNLawn has enjoyed being a part of the entertainment industry, and we get that love right back. Big Love actually.
The newest addition to SYNLawn’s acting resume is HBO’s Big Love. In Big Love, Bill Paxton plays a modern-day Utah polygamist who lives in suburban Salt Lake City with his three wives and seven children. Paxton’s character houses his family/families in three houses in a row on the street, with a communal backyard that is nothing more than a dirt patch. Everytime there’s a scene in that dusty backyard, strains of “Centerfield” by John Fogerty immediately enter our heads...”put me in coach, I’m ready to play...”
Nancy M. cares about the appearance of her lawn. She wanted to obtain a good looking yard without taxing Las Vegas’ limited water supply. Nancy tried xeriscaping, but she wasn’t thrilled with the idea of a dirt farm for a front yard, especially with her fondness for green grass. She tried sod, but when one sodded area needed to be patched, and the patching was done with a lesser species of grass, the lesser grass began to take over the nicer grass, leaving Nancy less than thrilled.
Around the same time, Nancy’s neighbor was having an unfavorable experience with an inferior artificial residential turf. Intrigued with the idea of artificial grass (just not the same one that was causing her neighbor grief), Nancy began her own investigation into an artificial, residential lawn grass that would provide a beautiful lawn, but without the substandard presentation experienced by her neighbor.

Washington, D.C. The nation’s capital since 1800. There are memorable images that come to mind when you think of Washington, D.C: The White House. The Lincoln Memorial. The Washington Monument. The National Mall. The Capitol Building.
Add SYNLawn artificial turf to the list of beautiful sights to see in the nation's capital.
The history of artificial grass changed when SYNLawn introduced SYNBlue. Unique in it’s look and design, SYNBlue revolutionized the artificial turf industry as the first synthetic grass that does not require infill.
Infill is a loose ground up material, usually comprised of rubber or sand, which is used during the installation of artificial turf. Before SYNBlue, infill was required to provide a more solid foundation and help the synthetic blades stand apart and erect. As a result, infill requires periodic maintenance and tends to migrate in areas that are sloped. Infill material can also be carried away by rain or wind, causing the need to be replenished - a need eliminated by SYNBlue - making it landscapers’ preferred choice for landscapes with rolling terrain.
Let’s say you’re gambling, and you’re winning. You want to make sure you do everything you can to keep winning, right? Las Vegas is a town that understands about picking winners and once they understood that applying SYNLawn’s artificial turf was a winning situation, they decided to let it ride.
When Steve Wynn installed almost 5 acres of SYNBlue Premium at his luxury Las Vegas resort, the results strengthened the beautiful relationship we have, and continue to grow, with the greater Las Vegas community. Wynn Las Vegas did not end their business with SYNLawn once the initial installation was complete - they were on a roll.
The SYNLawn Turf Showroom and Design Center in Beaverton, Oregon is a feast for the eyes. In designing the center, the look had to accommodate SYNLawn synthetic turf’s various designs, while utilizing a few of the numerous application possibilities.
The care that went into designing the Beaverton store is the result of creating cooperative interaction with area businesses. Why else build a store with a comfortable conference room for landscapers and architects to meet with their clients?
