What Is Artificial Turf Made Of
Artificial turf, also known as synthetic grass or artificial grass, is a high-performance surface crafted from carefully selected materials to closely mimic natural grass while delivering superior durability, low maintenance, and year-round usability. At Grass & More Outdoor Services, we install premium artificial turf systems throughout Chattanooga TN, Dalton GA, Hamilton County, and nearby North Georgia/Eastern Tennessee areas—creating beautiful, functional spaces like full artificial lawns, pet-friendly turf, backyard putting greens, and sport courts without the hassle of watering, mowing, or fertilizing.
The primary components of modern artificial turf include:
- Polyethylene Fibers (Blades): The visible "grass" strands are predominantly made from polyethylene (PE), a durable, flexible plastic renowned for its softness, natural texture, and strong resistance to UV rays and fading. This makes it ideal for Chattanooga's sunny, humid climate, ensuring the turf retains vibrant color and resilience under heavy foot traffic, pet activity, and weather exposure. Polyethylene is non-toxic, safe for families and pets, and provides that realistic look and feel without the brittleness of lower-quality materials.
- Polypropylene Backing: The foundation layer—typically a strong, moisture-resistant polypropylene (PP) primary and secondary backing—securely anchors the fibers while allowing excellent permeability for superior drainage. This prevents water pooling during heavy Tennessee/Georgia rains and supports quick drying, which is essential for pet turf (to avoid odors) and sport court or putting green surfaces where moisture could affect playability.
- Infill Materials: A stabilizing infill layer is added between the fibers for weight, upright support, cushioning, and performance enhancement. Common options include silica sand for firmness and stability, combined with advanced synthetic or organic infills (such as our TCOOL technology for heat reduction and antimicrobial properties). This keeps surfaces cooler on hot days, shock-absorbing for family play or putting greens, and resistant to bacteria/odor buildup in pet zones—while helping the turf stay flat and professional-looking even in high-traffic suburban yards.
These materials work together to create a safe, eco-conscious alternative: no pesticides or fertilizers, reduced water consumption (up to 60% savings), allergy-friendly (no pollen), and pet-safe with fast drainage and antibacterial features to eliminate urine issues and bacteria.
