Meet the new SYNLawn. Recently acquired by Textile Management Associates (TMA) of Dalton, GA, SYNLawn has become the only vertically integrated artificial landscape turf company in the U.S., or anywhere for that matter. What does that mean to you? It means you get better quality products, more product choices, better customer service and a warranty backed by the manufacturer. From raw materials to your front yard ... we do it all. No other artificial grass company can make that claim. TMA has been manufacturing artificial grass for over 30 years and produced the original SYNLawn product line. With this vertically integrated approach we have the very best artificial grass products the industry has to offer without the middle man. This makes the process of finding and purchasing artificial grass a whole lot easier. As the artificial grass landscape market continues to explode, more and more information is thrown at you from all directions. How do you know what to listen to? This information overload can be overwhelming to say the least. We believe in a much simpler approach and have changed how you shop for artificial grass.
New artificial grasses, designed for homeowner needs, have spread across water-starved deserts across the American Southwest. But they're rarely used in landscapes here, local professionals say.
Local owners of artificial turf companies, however, have begun spreading synthetic grass across Chattanooga, Tennessee. In 2005, Finley Stadium's Gordon Davenport field was covered with artificial turf by Universal Textile Technologies Inc. based in Dalton, Georgia.
When our friend Brian D. in England sent us a picture of his holiday house near Canterbury, we had to hear the tales behind what we saw. We saw how good his SYNLawn artificial grass application looked, but we had to know what else was going on in that backyard.
Talking to Brian, you immediately learn he takes great pride and care in his design. His decision to use SYNLawn came after carefully researching his synthetic grass options. Once he got his hands on the SYNLawn sample book, he found our turf to be “far superior” and his choice was made.
While perusing 
We like to impress upon you the importance of stretching your imagination and expanding your existing thoughts of ways to see natural grass when it comes to using SYNLawn’s synthetic turf for your specific design.
Do you have a child that loves the outdoors? Take the idea of decorating a sports loving child’s room to look like a playing field (as done with SYNLawn turf on ABC’s Extreme Makeover Home Edition), and apply that concept for your nature lover. SYNLawn’s artificial grass on the floor and pitch a tent for the illusion of a long-term camping trip. 
SYNLawn takes careful concern to consider the safety of your household pets. Every artificial turf product we offer is not only safe for your kids to play on, but safe for your pets as well.
We’ve installed our quality synthetic grass on dog runs and at canine training facilities to rave reviews. As long as you remember to scoop and spray, your SYNLawn application will maintain it’s crisp, green look.
There are numerous reasons to utilize SYNLawn turf if you want to provide your pet with a safe alternative to natural grass, while maintaining a good looking yard.
You have a sports field because you take pleasure in providing a place for people to exercise and engage in sporting activities. Although the constant maintenance is costly and time consuming, you continue to maintain and provide care for this space.
By applying SYNLawn artificial turf, it is possible for you to continue to provide a safe and attractive playing field and minimize the maintenance you currently experience. SYNLawn provides an optimal playing surface for any recreational activity.
The Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa in Las Vegas understands that their guests expect and require an elevated level of quality. For this reason, they used SYNLawn synthetic grass in their detailed construction. To understand the level of quality at the Red Rock, observe a partial list of additional elements at their property:
The Canadian reaction to SYNLawn has been beautiful. Expected, but beautiful.
Upon SYNLawn’s Canadian introduction, the approach of the team was sharing SYNLawn’s appeal with potential customers for commercial and residential landscape solutions. Once those potential customers became actual customers, the Canadian team learned that trying to define customer perspective was futile and the Canadian clients understood the potential of SYNLawn’s unique application possibilities.
As SYNLawn continues to grow in the Great White North, we continue to tell the tale...
Before we share how we helped the Rotary Club in Kelowna, British Columbia, allow us to share a bit about what Rotary is. It seems most places you go, you’re bound to come across a Rotary Club. So what is it and what do they do? (If you’re involved with one or already know, feel free to skip ahead.)
All artificial grass yarn falls into the category of either slit film or monofilament. The obvious questions is which one is the best choice?
Slit film is made exactly as the name implies. It is extruded as a solid sheet and slit into smaller ribbons or tapes. Therefore, slit film does a good job of immulating wider blade grass when viewed from a distance. Slit film also has the advantage that it can be extruded at higher output rates than monofilament; therefore, a lower cost. The disadvantage is a slit film yarn will always be basically a flat yarn. Most real, wider-blade grass viewed up close has a spine that cannot be immulated with a slit film yarn. This spine also acts as a support and provides it with rigidity.
Monofilament is extruded where each individual fiber is extruded out of an individual hole. This allows the manufacturer to make a variety of cross sections or shapes. This may lead to higher cost due to lower output rates; however, it makes a yarn that is pound per pound superior to a slit film yarn. It also makes a yarn that can be made to very closely copy the look and feel of real grass.
The best example that people can relate to is a beam made of steel. A flat piece of steel does not have much rigidity or stiffness when compared to steel configured as an I beam. In our case the flat piece of steel would be a slit film yarn, and a monofilament could be extruded with a spine similar to the concept of an I beam.
In summary, as a purchaser of artificial grass consumers should be aware that using a monofilament yarn may be slightly higher in initial cost. However, the resulting product can use different monofilament cross sections to maximize the properties that are required for their end use.

We like to share installation techniques from time to time. This time around, we’ll share some suggestions regarding proper staking techniques.
The recommended stakes for installation are 5.5" galvanized roofing nails. They should be galvanized to prevent rust. The head of the nail is approximately 1/4" in diameter.

You know that SYNLawn aids in the conservation of water, eradicates the use of harmful fertilizers and pesticides, saves you time and money spent in lawn care and is safe around your pets. Sometimes, however, people simply want a general overview and explore from there on their own. This is for those people.
The history of artificial grass changed when SYNLawn introduced SYNBlue. Unique in it’s look and design, SYNBlue revolutionized the artificial turf industry as the first synthetic grass that does not require infill.
Infill is a loose ground up material, usually comprised of rubber or sand, which is used during the installation of artificial turf. Before SYNBlue, infill was required to provide a more solid foundation and help the synthetic blades stand apart and erect. As a result, infill requires periodic maintenance and tends to migrate in areas that are sloped. Infill material can also be carried away by rain or wind, causing the need to be replenished - a need eliminated by SYNBlue - making it landscapers’ preferred choice for landscapes with rolling terrain.

SYNLawn is pleased to announce the newest additions to our arsenal of exclusively designed turf products are now available. Named SYNFescue and SYNFescue Premium, these surfaces have been field tested and exceed SYNLawn's existing required quality standards.
What makes SYNFescue and SYNFescue Premium different?
First, the look. Think of your lawn in that short window before you recognize that it needs to be mowed and you wish it would stop growing because it’s just the right length: that’s the design. SYNFescue and SYNFescue Premium look like a full lawn that is just about due to be cut.
Want the urban lifestyle, but miss the feeling of having a yard? Believe it or not, you can have both. And SYNLawn is making it possible. Growing in popularity is the trend of grass covered roof tops, terrace gardens and balconies. All over New York and other urban communities grass is appearing in places never before thought possible.
Before SYNLawn, having grass on a roof top or terrace was just out of the question. How would you mow it? How would you keep it watered? And how would you get it up there in the first place? Not to mention the added weight and stress it would add to the building. 
The Park Maitland School in Maitland, Florida installed SYNLawn synthetic grass in two separate areas on their campus last year. Park Maitland School is a private school for students grades K-6th, chose our artificial grass for the recess area and the school courtyard. The artificial grass is used on a daily basis and put through the ringer with over 200 students walking, running, and playing on it.
Since it was installed in 2004, the artificial turf hasn't just endured the tortures of daily recess, it also came through three hurricanes that devastated much of Florida this past fall. Hurricanes Charley, Frances and Jeanne blew through the area within a span of 6 weeks, leaving behind months of clean up and rebuilding for Central Florida. While many landscapes were destroyed, SYNLawn came through unscathed.
The students love it, the parents love it, and most of all, the faculty loves it. When the children return from recess they are not tracking dirt through the building. With all of the rain Central Florida receives in a year, areas of the school that used to get saturated with water would become unusable for days. With SYNLawn, even after a hurricane, those same areas can be used immediately after the rain stops.
The artificial turf was a great decision for Park Maitland, and after three hurricanes, it was a smart one as well.
The number one question we hear the most is, "can we use SYNLawn with our dog?" Or, "what happens when my dog ... you know ... has to go?" Our response, "not to worry, let him go." In fact, SYNLawn is ideal for dogs, cats, birds or just about any other pet even if they ... you know ... go on the lawn.
We highly recommend SYNLawn to pet owners. There are numerous advantages to using SYNLawn over natural sod for your pets. According to Fred Goldsmith, owner and operator of Pet Paradise an exclusive day care facility for pets, it pays for itself. For him, the advantages include easy clean up, reduced health risks associated with common kennel diseases, no muddy animals even after heavy rains and an average cost savings of approximately $1000 per month.
