Give yourself the chance to figure out what type you want for your home.

1. Polyethylene

You will enjoy polyethylene grass because it is lightweight and natural. It is perhaps the closest in appearance to real grass that you’ll find.

This type of grass is bright and green, and you can have a lot of foot traffic without it wearing down your lawn.

2. Polypropylene

This form of grass is inexpensive, so you won’t have to pay an arm and a leg for it. However, this is also the least durable form of synthetic lawn that you can buy.

It can easily become ragged when you’re dealing with a lot of foot traffic, so this version should be considered a stop-gas solution, rather than something long-term.

3. Nylon

With nylon, you are getting a form of synthetic turf that is lightweight and heat resistant. The turf will stay cool — even during summer temperatures — and you’ll see that it absorbs and repels rainwater well.

Because this form of artificial lawn can become stiff and bundle together, it is usually better suited for things like golf courses and putting greens. However, this form of artificial turf is also pretty expensive, so you will need to budget accordingly.

4. Colours and Treatments

When you look into astro turf, there are also a number of different colours and treatments that you can explore. This turf is sold in different shades of green, blue and bright colours, and also comes with a variety of treatment options.

Some specialized treatments that you can get include stain resistance, flammability resistance, ultraviolet (UV) ray stabilization, and more.
