Artificial residential lawns are increasingly becoming a viable option for homeowners who want to do away with lawn maintenance, irrigation, and chemical treatments.
Homeowners also look to artificial grass for a clean and safe playing environment for their kids and pets. Homeowners want artificial grass to do away with mud in their homes and have a pristine looking lawn year-round! A Little Info on "Infill"
In some cases you may not need infill. However, when using infill, you have several options: 1) silica sand, 2)
uncleaned rubber infill, 3) triple-cleaned rubber infill, 4) cryogenic
rubber infill (used in professional fields), or 5) a combination of any
of the first four.
When using infill, CHICAGO DREAM GRASS
recommends using option 3). Option 3) is 100% triple-cleaned, 100%
lead-free rubber infill. Unlike 'uncleaned' rubber you may find elsewhere, our rubber infill is triple-cleaned so you don't need to worry
about metal contaminants in your lawn. Plus 100% rubber infill provides added fall
protection, increased turf buoyance, increased turf longevity, and an
overall better-looking and cleaner turf finish than using sand infill
alone.
A Little On "Face Weight" vs. "Total Weight" Face
Weight is a measure of the amount of 'lawn blades / thatch' that is
in your grass. Face weight is measured by taking 1 square yard of turf,
removing the turf backing, and putting lawn blades/thatch on a scale to
weigh it. The unit of measure is in ounces per square yard of turf
(oz./sqyd). Total Weight is Face Weight plus the weight of
the turf's backing.
So, for example, if a grass's Face Weight
is 48oz and it's Total Weight is 68oz, how much does this turf's
backing weigh? Answer: 20oz.
All of CHICAGO DREAM GRASS' grass
names are followed by a number (e.g., 46). These numbers indicate the
turf's Face Weight. When comparing grasses across companies,
make sure you are comparing Face Weight to Face Weight or Total Weight
to Total Weight to do a fair comparison.
