You didn't expect picking out turf to include so many decisions. When you first called us here at SYNLawn of Northeast Ohio, you figured that you would hear about one type of artificial grass, maybe two, and be done with it by lunch. Instead, we start asking questions regarding the space in which you want it installed, who's going to be using it and how much, and how much sun it will get. You then realize that this is going to require more thought than you had planned, and you’re even more excited at the prospect! You might want it underneath a playset or dog run, synthetic grass for your yard, an indoor or outdoor custom putting green, or around your pool.
You want your kids’ playset to be safer!
You mention, almost in passing, that your kids have been begging for a play structure, and we tell you have multiple options in that aspect. You want it to be as safe as possible. You’re surprised when we say that we install pour-in-place rubber surfacing that makes that possible. It’s the kind you've seen under playground equipment at the park. It's poured on-site as a seamless, cushioned layer, designed specifically to absorb impact if someone takes a tumble off the monkey bars or climbing wall. It comes in a range of colors and patterns so that you can either turn it into a hopscotch grid, a basketball half-court, school colors, or just a solid color that ties in with the play set.

We also install turf for playgrounds that provides safety and features anti-microbial and anti-static properties. It even has IPEMA certification for enhanced safety and playability. It reduces the risk of injury with falls up to 10 feet, offers a low-abrasive surface, and is pest and allergen free. Can rubber and turf sit side by side in the same yard? Yes! Many families use rubber under the swing set itself and surround it with turf for everything else, so the whole backyard reads as one cohesive space rather than a patchwork of materials.
Do you have a backyard with dogs?
You mention you have a backyard with dogs, and right away we steer you toward a pet-friendly turf. We have options designed with a permeable backing, so rain drains straight through instead of pooling in the yard. It's denser ,too, so it holds up against digging and zoomies a lot better than something meant purely for looks.
It’s also hygienic with a non-toxic, anti-microbial, Bio-Based construction that eliminates odors. Want to prevent pests? It doesn’t have the organic basis that allows moles, ticks, or fleas to survive, so they can’t get onto your pet. It’s also heat resistant, keeping it more resilient over time and keeping your beloved pets’ feet safe and cool.
Want to improve your curb appeal?

What about improving the beauty of your front yard? Your neighbors, visitors, and anyone passing by notice the weeds, dry patches, cottony fungal growth, or red from rust disease. With synthetic grass, the conversation shifts. You could then describe a turf blended with multiple shades of green and a thatch layer underneath that mimics the slightly uneven, sun-faded look of a real lawn that's been mowed for years. It's less about durability and more about looking realistic. The blades are naturally shaped and shine the way grass catches light at different angles so that it doesn't look like nylon or artificial from the sidewalk or street.
An indoor or outdoor putting green you say??

You ask, almost as an afterthought, whether we install putting greens, since you've always considered tucking one into your side yard or putting one in the basement for winter. We get a little excited at this one as we describe a short, dense nylon turf engineered for the true ball roll of professional putting greens. We can even outline it with decorative rocks and foliage.
You’ve ultimately gone from expecting a single grass sample to mentally mapping out three or four different zones in your yard, each suited to something specific — including paws, parties, golf swings, and somewhere for the kids to land safely. You schedule a consultation, half amused at how much there is to learn about something as simple as the ground you walk on. Visit our website or call us at (330) 639-1564 for your consultation.
