Pile height, face weight and stitch rate decide how turf looks, feels and wears. Here is what the numbers mean.
Artificial turf is sold by a few key specifications. Pile height is how tall the blades are. Face weight is how much fiber is in each square yard. Stitch rate is how closely the stitches are spaced. Together they decide how lush the turf looks, how soft it feels and how well it holds up to use.
A taller pile gives a fuller, softer look for lawns. A shorter, denser pile is better for putting greens and high-traffic play areas. Heavier face weight usually means more durability and a more natural look, and a dense stitch rate keeps blades standing and infill in place. Fiber shape, color blend and a brown thatch layer add realism. We help you read specifications and compare real samples instead of relying on numbers alone.
