2. Bermuda Blend - All Purpose Turf
Best for: Play areas, pet owners, and golf fringe applications.
Our SoftLawn® Bermuda Blend is a multi-use turf with a natural two-tone color with a deep olive color with a soft yet durable texture. It requires less infill than competitor products while maintaining a beautiful and functional appearance.

This increasingly popular clover colored product is becoming the preferred choice for it's soft texture. It offers a natural appearance and making it perfect for families who love to use their yard frequently. Unlike big-box suppliers, we don’t sell cheap, mass-produced turf we choose premium materials that will withstand years of use without matting or fading. We have to repeat one more time how soft and quality the yarn on this product feels. Once you touch it, you'll find it hard to choose any other grass we offer. Rainier Blend is another one of our exclusive turf products we offer to Washington State residents.
Why choose this? If you want a family-friendly, long-lasting lawn that’s tough enough for kids and pets, this is the perfect artificial grass turf blend.
4. Cascade Pro - High Face Weight
Best for: High-traffic backyards, playgrounds, and pet areas.
If you need extreme durability without sacrificing a natural look, Cascade Pro is a great option. With a 1.5-inch pile height and an ultra heavy 90-ounce face weight, this turf can handle high foot traffic. It’s ideal for active households with kids, playgrounds, or pet areas where resilience is key. If you receive other estimates make sure to ask about their products face weight. You'll be hard pressed to find another product at this pile height with such a dense and heavy yarn amount.
Why choose this? If you need a heavy-duty synthetic turf that can handle anything, Cascade Pro is hands down the most durable option on the market. When installing artificial turf, choosing a heavy face weight plays a key role in overall performance and lifespan.
A tangible way to determine turf quality is by measuring and weighing how much yarn is used, this is called the "turf face weight". This doesn't alway mean a better product but is a good indicator for quality and value. This measurement shouldn't be confused with "total weight" which is weight of the yarn plus the backing, always a higher number.
To understand how this product stacks up to the other local Pacific Northwest turf installation companies and their comparable offerings, here's a breakdown using the actual numbers:
Synthetic Turf of Puget Sound - 1.5 inch product - Face Weight 90 ounces

Used by tour players and top-rated golf facilities, this is the gold standard for at home artificial grass putting greens. Here's a Lake Tapps Putting Green where NP50 was used.
