Artificial grass has become a go-to solution for homeowners, landscape designers, and facility managers seeking a lush, green lawn without the hassle of constant upkeep. But with so many options on the market, how do you choose the right one for your project? Whether you're creating a cozy balcony retreat, a child-friendly garden, or a durable sports field, here are the key factors to consider: Dtex, pile height, density, and usage scenario.

Dtex – The Strength Behind the Blades

Dtex (Decitex) measures the weight and thickness of the yarn used in artificial grass. A higher Dtex means thicker and more durable fibers.

• Lower Dtex (e.g. 5500–8800): Softer feel, suitable for decorative use like balconies or low-traffic areas.

• Higher Dtex (e.g. 10000–13000+): Stronger and more resilient, ideal for sports fields or high foot traffic areas.

Tip: For family gardens or play areas, a Dtex of around 8800–12000 offers a good balance of softness and durability.

Pile Height – The Grass Blade Length

Pile height refers to how tall the grass fibers are, typically measured in millimeters.

• 20–30mm: Short and neat. Great for balconies, terraces, and minimalistic designs.

• 30–40mm: Natural look and feel. Perfect for residential lawns and gardens.

• 40mm+: Luxurious and lush. Best for areas where comfort and aesthetics are key.

Tip: Medium pile heights (30–40mm) are the most versatile and popular for everyday landscaping.

Density – How Full Your Lawn Will Look

Density determines how tightly the yarn is stitched together, affecting both appearance and performance.

• Low density: More budget-friendly, lighter weight, but may look sparse over time.

• High density: Thicker, fuller appearance and better durability, especially for high-use areas.

Tip: Choose higher density for public spaces, playgrounds, or areas with pets and kids.

Usage Scenario – Match the Grass to the Purpose

Every application has unique needs:

• Gardens & Yards: Medium to high pile height, balanced Dtex, and high density for a natural look and durability.

• Sports Fields (e.g. football, hockey): High Dtex, short pile height, and tough backing for performance and safety.

• Balconies & Rooftops: Shorter pile height, soft texture, and UV resistance are key.

• Pet Areas: Easy-to-clean backing, antibacterial treatment, and durability should be prioritized.
