Turf comes in many styles. A few words help you shop.
Pile height
Short piles are tougher and easier to rinse. Taller piles feel plusher and look more like a lawn.
Blade shape and fibers
Flat, curled and thatch fibers change how the turf looks and springs back.
Color
A blend of greens looks more natural than a single flat color.
Infill
Sand or other infill weighs the turf down and holds the blades up.
