If you have a dead, desolate property, it is so terrible that you can hardly bear to look at it, suffocating it with fake straw rolls may actually be an upgrade. However, do not think that this is a low-cost, zero-maintenance, long-term solution to the yard problem and make such an investment. The repair will not last forever-although some small parts of it may last. Complications associated with the disposal of synthetic turf, not to mention its impact on its lifespan, raise serious questions about its long-term sustainability.
We conducted research on this article, hoping to recommend the best artificial grass. When this project started, Wirecutter senior editor Harry Sawyers was considering using synthetic turf to upgrade a dry yard in his Los Angeles home. The latest products have caught our attention because fake grass has made great progress in realism and popularity: Although the fake turf of the past few years is blatantly unconvincing and has rough edges, today countless artificial turf is woven into lifelike The details imitate the real treatment until the individual blades of grass turn yellow and dry. Facts have proved that this level of realism is very popular. According to industry data, since 2017, there has been a 15% increase nationwide. As of mid-2020, the total installed lawn area in the United States is 265 million square feet.
However, as our research progresses, we realize that we have serious reservations-in the long run, the value of synthetic turf may be poor, serious environmental issues need to be considered, and any large-scale, well-established facilities should be installed and maintained The cost also proves this. We concluded that we had better invest our money and energy in almost any other form of landscaping.
We interviewed and read research from more than a dozen sources, including representatives from artificial turf manufacturers and retailers, homeowners who have installed devices on their properties, landscape architects, and researchers specializing in waste management and stormwater runoff . We also visited the installation site with the contractor.
Harry Sawyers is a Wirecutter senior editor and has edited outdoor power equipment reviews and other lawn and garden articles for Wirecutter, Popular Mechanics, This Old House, and other publications. He used to work as a professional gardener in Georgia, and now he uses lawn mowers and trimmers to clean the slopes of his large backyard every spring in accordance with the requirements of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Gregory Han worked as an editorial manager for the Los Angeles landscape architecture company AHBE Landscape Architects (now AHBE | MIG) for three years, helping this multidisciplinary company with 17 people spread its professional arts and sciences both inside and outside the industry. He is a writer for Design Milk and the former editor-in-chief of Apartment Therapy in Los Angeles. Since 2006, he has written articles about home design and products for many design-focused media, including Dwell, Domino and Design Sponge.
It is easy to understand the appeal of synthetic turf, especially when you see the convincing level of realism in the showroom, which is full of the best artificial turf options available today. Combining the charm of low maintenance, water saving, and green plants in all seasons, this visual appeal can indeed make artificial turf look the best choice, especially if you have invested time and money in planting grass in vain.
Landscape designer Kathleen Ferguson pointed out in an interview that although she makes every effort to guide customers not to install artificial turf, in some cases, their application is meaningful. "This has never been our first choice, but sometimes it is the best choice. Many years ago, one of our clients had a large concrete platform on a steep hillside, hoping to create a green outdoor space for their children. There is no need to dismantle the truck concrete or install an irrigation system. They can spread the artificial turf directly on the concrete and install it in just a few hours."
David Berger, a horticulturist at the University of California, Davis, also recognizes that synthetic grass may be a valuable option in some cases: “Synthetic turf has made great progress in recent years. Improved plastics that are more resistant to UV light mean Synthetic turf remains in good condition for a longer period of time."
We wanted to see (and stroll) with our own eyes, so we visited a residence in Los Angeles, where we had the opportunity to inspect the decoration and renovation, ask about the installation process, and spend some time walking barefoot, jumping and lying down on artificial grass. Before deciding to try artificial turf, these homeowners tried to keep the lawn for five to six years. They told us that the combination of drought conditions and destructive wildlife—and the pressure of sheltering in place when parents of 6- and 8-year-old children need outdoor space to “expend energy”—eventually prompted them to spend “approximately $4,000. "To turn the "sad patch" into a functional game area.
They were very satisfied with the result of the 30 x 20 foot installation and they told us that the children and their two dogs liked it (we asked the children and they agreed). On weekends, parents will exercise on it. They said: "We have never spent more time in our backyard, so it is very worthwhile, and we just hope we can do this a few years ago."
One thing that we haven't discovered in our research—something we hope to add in future updates of this guide—is the point of view of a long-term owner who has already dealt with the issue of replacing aging synthetic grasses. From what we read on Reddit's r/artificialturf subreddit, it seems that some homeowners may be in this situation. If that was you, did you gain a new territory or develop in a different direction?
Many of the people who are most satisfied with this purchase don't even like the super polished, original installation that you might see on the cover of the grass manufacturer's brochure. They didn't even put artificial turf on the "lawn". Think Wirecutter editor Jon Chase used to be in a concrete backyard in Brooklyn. He ordered some Pet Grow 6.5 x 10 foot cushions on Amazon during the pandemic and threw them away with minimal space preparation. He used grass instead of concrete before, but it was struggling, so he was going to try something else. “I use a thatch rake to move the soil around, measure and unfold the carpet to make it fit, then nail it, then dig out the border and press it for 1 to 2 seconds,” Jon said. He is very happy.
You might imagine a paved terrace, a balcony, or a roof that is more habitable. Used like outdoor carpets, fake grass can be an improvement. The manufacturer we interviewed suggested adding a ⅛ inch foam cushion pad (like you might use a carpet) to make it softer. Many large supply warehouses will sell you their scrap, usually below normal prices. No matter where you shop, if possible, by visiting a retail store or at least carefully reviewing online installation images uploaded by customers, it is worth seeing (and experiencing with your hands and feet) comments.
When Harry purchased synthetic grass for his Los Angeles residence, Gregory was individually researching the options available in this guide. We conceived these options to recommend the best synthetic grass options available today. However, when we met again to compare our research notes, some problems arose that made people doubt the value and sustainability of the entire product category.
At Wirecutter, we always try to consider value in the long run, especially when it comes to investments of this scale. When it comes to synthetic lawns, looking to the future is where the logic begins to break from the perspective of personal budgets. Your ordinary artificial turf may last for ten years, and the installation cost can reach thousands of dollars. We believe this is not a long-term investment in the yard, especially when compared to any number of more durable landscaping alternatives.
The warranty provides clues about life expectancy. The best artificial turf options usually have a warranty period of several years; for example, this purchase of a green limited lifetime warranty (PDF) provides a 100% warranty for the first 8 years, followed by a partial warranty. After comparing the way the warranty is structured with what we heard from industry experts, and the evidence that the synthetic grass installed in the past ten years or so has been widely removed, we concluded that it is expected to take an average of about 10 years It's fair. This investment.
Consider this timeline and the two bids Harry received for installing approximately 960 square feet of grassland in Los Angeles—both to the north of $10,000, which could exceed $1,000 per year on average during the life expectancy. The source of cost starts with the turf itself, which costs only one or two dollars per square foot of material, and then jumps to at least $6 or $7 per square foot, and sometimes even more than $10 per square foot. Consider the labor in and out of materials, not to mention the layers of base material you need to purchase, deliver, install, and compact before the fake grass continues to grow. Harry humbly explored the bids for materials only on a smaller 20 x 20 square foot square. He found that he could buy turf for less than US$2,000, but he needed to add hundreds of dollars to the rent of base materials and compaction equipment—and, even in this “smaller” job, he also Professionals should be hired to install it. The company said that adding this service will increase the cost by nearly three times, and the total cost of a complete installation in a smaller area is approximately US$5,000 to US$6,000.
When entering this project, we thought that the composite code was basically zero maintenance, but it turned out to be wrong. In fact, it requires maintenance that is not required for ordinary lawns.
As an alternative, imagine using this money for simple maintenance and slowly improving the landscape of the property during this period of time. You may see one of two possible outcomes around 2031: either a compelling set of mature native plants and a thriving ecosystem, or a rundown and degraded ready to be torn off and trucked to a landfill Waste of artificial turf. Exposing the same old dead place, new investment is suddenly urgently needed.
An important factor driving up costs is that the best turf uses an ever-expanding suite of features to cover up its inherent shortcomings (or, as the industry prefers to say, make it feel real). Plastic mats can get very hot in the sun-this is the first consideration mentioned by almost everyone we interviewed-so you can go through a variety of proprietary solutions designed to reduce heat gain (usually Is grass coating) to solve this problem. Pets also have a lot of odors, so there are some functions that can reduce the stench that animals release on the plastic in the sun. Drainage is an issue, so the best fake grasses tout their permeability properties. Small animals digging holes in the turf may endanger the entire installation. This is a problem that the installer can solve for you with an extra underground metal mesh layer sandwiched between the base and the turf. The installer we interviewed is often referred to as the "Gopher Guard", which added a few thousand dollars to Harry's bid.
When entering this project, we thought that the composite code was basically zero maintenance, but it turned out to be wrong. In fact, it requires maintenance that is not required for ordinary lawns. For example: running or lying on real grass, if there is enough time, any flattened parts will spring back to the original upright position. Synthetic grass can’t do this by itself, so it requires a mechanical rake or brush, plus the addition of fillers—a kind of granular material designed to help keep the blade upright, create a more convincing elastic feel under the foot, and reduce weight. Artificial grass, so it will not wrinkle or move.
Over time, this infill material must be re-applied-in fact, its whereabouts is one of the most serious problems we found in our investigation-in the long run, doing so will increase the cost of ownership of any fake grass And labor. Here is a quick overview of several common types of fill options, and their general advantages and disadvantages:
Rubber crumbs: The first and original filled rubber crumbs are still popular because they are very cheap, with prices as low as about 60 cents per square foot. SBR (styrene butadiene rubber) is made from recycled tires, requires minimal maintenance, is wear-free and resistant to mold and mildew, and can add elastic cushions under the feet. But like any infill, this material can enter soil and waterways through runoff, which is the focus of many studies we read about the role of artificial turf in contributing microplastics to the environment.
TPE Coated Sand: Sold under the Durafill and Envirofill brands, sand treated and treated with elastomer or acrylic coating feels cool under the feet and provides a natural appearance. Its antibacterial coating is very suitable for applications that require attention to pet excrement.
Zeolite: It is great if odor control is the main issue. Compared with sand or rubber, this naturally-derived microporous aluminosilicate mineral provides an ideal combination of fast drainage, cooling performance and fast drying speed.
Organic fillers: According to the manufacturer, organic fillers come from cork, walnut husk, or coconut husk, which lower the surface temperature and decompose more easily than other options. But its light weight may make it easier to be carried away by runoff.
If you want the best looking fake grass, you usually need to choose a higher-end company. Most of these brands are manufacturers, retailers, and installers. This slightly changes the dynamics of customers, making the process of choosing a site as important as hiring a company-assessing its reputation, looking for customer feedback, consulting local forums for advice, and relying on any other resources you might ask for help in reviewing contracts in your area Business hours. You can also find a synthetic grass version at Home Depot, but as we found in similar research, Wirecutter's performance in hot tubs, many of the best, highest quality, and most durable installations are not DIY jobs.
A popular brand that is easy to discuss is SYNLawn. Like many high-end turf, it can be obtained from a network of qualified independent local installers, but it is sold in most parts of the country and stands out as the item you buy. It can be found at Lowe's and other retailers. (Many of the other turf options that we have evaluated are only available in the region or exclusive to specific retailers or installers.)
We have seen several samples of SYNLawn products, some of which are worth mentioning as examples you may encounter when using SYNLawn or other brands. Near the top of the production line, we saw SYNLawn SYNAugstine X47, a high-density mixture consisting of wide and thick 1⅝ inch high blades with various curly thatch filaments of different shapes and weights scattered in the middle. The structure and fidelity of this type is the type you can find from other manufacturers at similar prices, and it is one of the most convincing fake grass we have tested in terms of look and feel.
We evaluated some other SYNLawn varieties for comparison. SYNLawn Pet Platinum added an antibacterial coating and some enhanced permeability for better drainage, but it gave up some of the plush softness of SYNAugustine. There is also a version specially designed for roof applications, SYNLawn Roofdeck Platinum. Unlike the manufacturer’s other models, Roofdeck Platinum is only made of green nylon filament; overall, monochromatic yarn is obviously not as convincing as grass, and the texture of this material is more brittle than polyethylene yarn (finger Stroking it feels like stroking a pig hair brush). But the nylon structure also means a lighter overall weight, only 88 ounces per square yard (compared to the 128 ounce SYNAugustine X47). Like many competitive synthetic turf, Roofdeck Platinum has a UV coating and reflective pigments designed to stay cool in summer and slow down any fading during its lifetime.
When you consider the requirements for larger installations, higher budgets, and stricter installations that seem more real, you may be dealing with any regional supplier that has market share in your area. For example, in the western United States, you might be near one of Purchase Green’s retail locations, which is a manufacturer, distributor, and installation chain that offers high-quality, competitively priced options. It has more than 20 stores from California to Texas, ships nationwide, and sells dozens of styles, which vary in material, density, pile height, fidelity, color, and function The same to solve specific problems such as heat accumulation, drainage, and pet odors. Although buying green is not unique in many ways, it represents the type of place you might encounter when doing DIY or professional installations with a sufficient budget.
Similar companies we have also encountered include Synthetic Grass Warehouse, another manufacturer and distributor with national influence. In our research, the artificial turf warehouse is a manufacturer/distributor wholesale organization for landscape professionals and homeowners, and one of the few companies that offers a 15-year warranty. The artificial turf supermarket is also recommended by industry insiders; this is another place that manufactures and sells its own synthetic turf, provides installation services, and primarily serves the western United States.
The above is not a complete list of brands, but the concepts behind the features they provide are similar to those you might encounter in the options in your area.
Most homeowners can handle up to about 300 square feet as DIY work; this is an approximate number we heard at Purchase Green and repeated elsewhere. (Of course, some ambitious people are happy to do bigger work on their own.) However, for most people, a space of more than a few hundred square feet may start to become overwhelmed-especially when you are leveling, Grading and continuously compacting a large area so that all substrates are evenly compacted-this is when you see people taking shortcuts, the installation may not last for long.
In addition to keeping the job manageable, hiring a professional should also prevent the obvious defects you see on nearby aging installations or local putting pitches. The border should be depressed without showing jagged edges. The seams should not be obvious. You should be able to avoid visible wrinkles on the turf. Ideally, you would not see two different colors from one piece to the other. Hopefully, any investment in the metal mesh barrier will persuade the gophers to go elsewhere. Those coatings designed to control the effects of urine and UV rays should work as expected-anyway, temporarily.
In addition to the high cost, short life and maintenance requirements of artificial turf, serious environmental problems are another reason why we cannot recommend it. The synthetic grass industry advertises its products as sustainable, emphasizing the renewable ingredients in the grass and the claim that the turf can be recycled at the end of its useful life. As SYNLawn Executive Vice President George Neagle said in an interview, "Since 2008, SYNLawn has been using renewable resources such as soybeans and sugarcane to make bio-based artificial grass." Neagle also claimed that these grasses were used " Being recycled".
It's true that part of many synthetic grasses comes from some renewable resources-but the other part is usually not the case for larger parts, and the recycling statement is a misleading statement, which we will untie later. However, take a step back: We initially approached Neagle to ask about larger environmental considerations, namely the overall impact of synthetic turf on natural habitats, including wild animals that usually live on both sides of the soil and underground, and the health of the soil itself. This is the main concern behind the hesitation (if not outright hostility) we heard in many interviews with landscape architects, gardeners and plant physiologists, regarding the increasing popularity of artificial turf.
James Baird, a gardener and lawn management extension expert at the University of California, Riverside, said: "I can't think of any real benefits of artificial turf, other than the possibility of being used in stadiums." "Natural grass does not waste water-people And the wrong irrigation system will waste water!” Water waste is another detail often raised by manufacturers of artificial turf, and this is the main reason why it claims to be superior to natural turf in terms of sustainability. It is true that traditional lawns may use too much water, especially in poorly designed systems, but other solutions usually need to be considered.
In Baird’s view of sports stadiums, a surprising finding in our research is that ancient artificial turf injuries, such as turf toes, are actually not in the past-in fact, sports medicine researchers have studied Gao Ohio’s school athletes during the 2017-2018 season found that student athletes participating in multiple sports were 58% more likely to be injured during physical activities on artificial turf than on natural grass (this is a published comment ). This also happens at the professional level: the NFL Players Association issued a piece of news in September 2020, when its chairman cited the high damage rate of synthetic grass and natural grass over the years and advocated that the NFL should switch from synthetic grass to synthetic grass in all games and games. Natural grass. Practice areas. However, in April 2021, the Carolina Panthers announced a plan to switch to a synthetic field, claiming that the grassland is too difficult to raise. (Part of this new maintenance reduction strategy includes a plan to replace the entire top layer of synthetic turf every two to three years.)
Sports stadiums are also the focus of some of the most shocking research on the future of synthetic turf, as it relates to the environment and sustainability. In several European countries, the synthetic football pitches installed in the mid-2000s have reached their end of life. Research has investigated the treatment of turf and the role of synthetic materials in contributing to soil and waterways of microplastics (PDF). Installation in these areas In the course of life, an ominous situation is consistently depicted. When we read academic research in Sweden, Denmark, and the United Kingdom, some themes emerged. All in all: Researchers cannot accurately measure the microplastics that enter the watercourse through synthetic asphalt runoff, but conservatively estimates that the number is hundreds of kilograms per asphalt per year, and some estimates reach thousands of kilograms. In Sweden, synthetic sports fields are considered to be the second largest contributor to microplastics entering waterways (PDF), and only "road wear and tire wear" disperse more material through the channel flow. This is actually a reduction—the country’s officials have previously recognized the problem and took steps to alleviate it (PDF)—but researchers still believe that hundreds of kilograms of microplastics appear in every field. In Norway, a researcher found in a soil sample (PDF) collected from the bottom of a stream near artificial grassland that 85% of the soil sample contained microplastics. In the United States, there are relatively few studies in this area. Although the impact of runoff in the 265 million square foot synthetic grassland is still uncertain, it is obviously not.
Synthetic fabrics discharge millions of tons of microplastics into the ocean each year, mainly through laundry wastewater. The following are ways to reduce pollution.
Although further research will reveal the extent of the threat of microplastics, an already obvious phenomenon is the large-scale disposal problems faced by cities and owners when dismantling aging synthetic turf facilities. Some highlights from a bleak report on the subject by The Atlantic Monthly: It’s almost impossible to separate the components to recycle this polymer sandwich, and it’s almost never done. By default, it’s piled up in the landfill. Buried site-it may continue to be deposited there in the foreseeable future, microplastics enter the soil and water. Sometimes these things are not even delivered to the landfill; the photographs in the Atlantic article show that rolls of discarded turf are simply stacked on the open space. Other times, it is accidentally or deliberately incinerated, releasing a cloud of atmospheric compounds that can cause its own destruction. Take Southern California as an example. Local officials have invested millions of dollars in artificial turf that failed prematurely. You will see the dual impact of the economy and the environment. A related class action lawsuit against manufacturer FieldTurf in 2017 accused the company of “deceiving customers by deliberately selling defective artificial turf playgrounds”, showing several examples (including the California school district and other plaintiffs across the country) to illustrate how customers benefited It may be the willingness of artificial turf manufacturers to act sincerely when problems arise. Reading these reports, you can feel the frustration of government officials. They recognize this problem, but as more and more lawns are aging and problems pile up, it is difficult to hold anyone accountable.
When researching synthetic grass and discovering a lot of evidence that keeps us away from it as a long-term or even temporary solution to a problematic lawn, we have become most sensitive to readers' needs as a lawn. If this is you, please know that we sympathize with your frustration with the amount of energy and expense that may have been wasted so far.
Our first suggestion is to contact the local field extension office of the nearest university and discuss with the people there about the types of grasses that are easy to grow in your environment, as well as soil pH and other possible helpful adjustments, and the role of seasonal time. Play a role in planting and maintenance, and other factors that may affect the success of lawns in your area. The Wirecutter senior staff writer Doug Mahoney, who raises sheep and other grazing animals in New Hampshire, and the University of New Hampshire dairy, livestock, and fodder crop field expert Karl Majewski have achieved success. If you are lucky, there may be a Carl Majewski near you.
Doug's research also allowed him to obtain some useful texts on the subject. The art and science of grazing is a valuable resource. Its author Sarah Flack is a consultant in Vermont and occasionally holds seminars. Dirt to Soil is another useful book on creating and maintaining healthy soil. Its author, Gabe Brown, is a respected figure in regenerative agriculture. In this presentation (video), he provides good advice on his five principles for building a healthy soil.
Over the years, one thing Doug has encountered with Doug's research on this subject is that experts agree that there is a way to successfully and sustainably grow grass in almost any environment using the right materials and methods. Even in a desert environment like Las Vegas, you can find experts in resources such as Turf Magazine, who advocate dry turfgrass, which is designed to thrive in arid climates with minimal watering. No matter where you are, if you can use some smart sprinkler controllers, then the initial investment of time and resources can be transformed into a labor-saving and efficient green space that you can enjoy.
Rachio 3 makes it less cumbersome to configure an irrigation system, and at the same time it is easier to save water and maintain a healthy lawn or garden.
The fact that you can choose hard and drought-tolerant shrubs may not be news to you. But if we don't admit that grassland is a somewhat outdated concept in this country in the first place, and if you really check that people think that lawn is an ideal, it may never make sense. This radical concept is the core dialogue surrounding an excellent article titled "The Life and Death of the American Turf" published by Megan Garber in the Atlantic in 2015. Fair view, but let's not close the door of the whole transaction for now. After all, you may still want an open space for kids and pets to play. Whether that space includes a weighted croquet goal for artificial turf-well, it's up to you.
