The quality and longevity of modern artificial grass are directly determined by its advanced manufacturing process and the characteristics of its fibers. Specifically, the precise composition of plastic pellets with UV stabilizers and dyes ensures the grass remains vibrant and resists fading over time. Furthermore, the shape and thickness of the individual yarn fibers, determined during the extrusion process, are crucial for the grass’s durability, realistic appearance, and its ability to “bounce back” after heavy use.

For homeowners and contractors, it’s vital to understand that thicker and wider fibers generally indicate better performance, especially for areas with heavy foot traffic, as the market currently contains “poor quality grasses made from cheap yarn that just won’t perform or give the expected or promised longevity”.
