So a little while ago you were considering artificial grass to beautify your home or business \u2013 easy decision, right?<\/p>\n

No water, no maintenance (well, a tiny bit) and it looks great all year round. It even pays for itself in a few years and then\u2026well the savings really start piling up after that. You\u2019ll save water and help contribute to combating the drought. An easy decision. But now you\u2019re off to your local Purchase Green store and, wham, 30 varieties of grass to choose from. How do you decide?<\/p>\n

With so many options available, suddenly creating an awesome new synthetic lawn seems a bit more daunting. Among all the varieties of grasses, some of the differences are obvious, some are not so obvious and some are completely undetectable. In comes Purchase Green to save the day!<\/p>\n

Throughout this website you\u2019ll find a massive amount of information about artificial grass. In this section you can learn everything there is to know about the synthetic grass available at Purchase Green. So let\u2019s start with the fundamentals.<\/p>\n\n

Main Price Drivers of Artificial Grass<\/h2>\n

Face Weight<\/h3>\n

There are two primary price drivers in artificial grass. The first is the amount of yarn. Obvious, right? The yarn as it\u2019s referred to is the actual blades of grass themselves. The face weight, then, is the measure of how much a particular yarn weighs over a square yard\u2026or about 9 square-feet. Basically, it\u2019s just like buying carpet in that it is typically (and weirdly) sold by the square yard and installed by the square foot.<\/p>\n

An easy way to visualize this is to take our Vista Natural 80<\/a> and compare it to our Vista Natural 65<\/a>. Vista is our proprietary, temperature-controlled, V-shaped fiber that is made for heavy traffic while maintaining a well-groomed look in lighter, lime-green hues. We call it \u201cnatural\u201d because of our brilliant design that incorporates short, fake withering brown blades within the green blades that give the product amazing realism. Now, the product is either 80 or 65 because that is how may ounces those grasses weigh over a square yard\u2026that\u2019s the face weight. Both products contain the same yarn and backing system (more on that in a minute). The only difference is the Vista Natural 80 weighs more because there\u2019s more material in it. And since there\u2019s more material, it costs more than its 65-ounce counterpart.<\/p>\n

Yarn Treatment<\/h3>\n

The yarn treatment is the other price driver. It\u2019s not a matter of better or worse, just different. All of our grasses have the same backing system and the same warranty. We only use premium polyethylene resin and the perfect blend of UV inhibitors in our temperature-controlled fibers. But different treatments have different associated costs.
