SYNLawn is a brand of artificial turf sold through local dealers

SYNLawn is a manufacturer and distributor of synthetic grass products. The company does not sell directly to homeowners — instead, you buy through independent dealers in your area who handle the measurement, installation, and warranty service. SYNLawn makes the turf itself in various styles and pile heights, and the dealer handles the ground preparation, seaming, and finishing work on your property.

The brand is one of several national artificial turf manufacturers. Others include FieldTurf, Artificial Grass Warehouse, and local or regional installers. SYNLawn's main distinction is its dealer network model: you contact a local dealer, they visit your property, quote the job, and manage the entire project from start to finish.

Key Takeaways

  • SYNLawn products are sold through independent local dealers, not directly from the company, so your first step is finding a dealer in your area.
  • The dealer handles site measurement, ground preparation, installation, and seaming — you do not install it yourself.
  • SYNLawn turf comes in different styles, pile heights, and colors, and the dealer will show you samples before you commit.
  • Pricing varies widely based on your yard size, existing ground condition, and the specific product line you choose.
  • Warranties typically cover the turf itself for 8 to 15 years depending on the product, but do not cover wear from heavy use or pet damage.

How to find a SYNLawn dealer near you

SYNLawn maintains a dealer locator on its website where you enter your zip code and see licensed installers in your region. Not every area has a dealer — availability depends on population density and regional demand. If no dealer appears for your zip code, you may need to contact the nearest one and ask whether they service your location.

When you contact a dealer, they will ask for your address and a rough description of the area you want to cover (front yard, backyard, both). Many dealers offer free on-site estimates, meaning they visit your property, measure the space, assess the ground condition, and provide a written quote with no obligation to buy.

What SYNLawn products look like and how they differ

SYNLawn manufactures turf under several product lines, each with different appearance, texture, and durability. The main variables are pile height (how tall the grass blades are), blade shape (some look more like natural grass, others more uniform), and color variation (some have multiple shades of green to look more realistic). The dealer will bring samples to your home so you can see and touch the options in your own yard's light.

Higher-end lines tend to have more realistic appearance and softer feel underfoot, while budget lines are more uniform and durable under heavy foot traffic. If you have pets, some lines are marketed as pet-friendly because they drain quickly and resist odor absorption. The dealer can explain which line suits your intended use — a low-traffic decorative yard versus a high-traffic play area will point to different products.

What installation involves and how long it takes

Installation is not a DIY project. The dealer's crew removes existing grass or debris, levels and compacts the ground, installs a base layer (usually crushed stone or recycled rubber), and then lays and seams the turf. Seaming is the process of joining separate pieces of turf together so the seams are not visible — this requires specialized equipment and skill.

The timeline depends on yard size and ground condition. A small residential yard (500 to 1,000 square feet) typically takes one to two days. Larger yards or yards with poor drainage or uneven ground may take longer. The dealer will give you a timeline estimate during the quote phase. You should plan to keep people and pets off the newly installed turf for 24 to 48 hours while the seams set.

Cost factors and what affects your price

SYNLawn pricing is not published online — you receive a quote from your local dealer based on your specific property. The main cost drivers are square footage, ground preparation needs, product line chosen, and local labor rates. A yard that requires extensive ground work (removing old turf, regrading, installing drainage) will cost more than one with level, well-draining soil already in place.

Most dealers offer financing options or payment plans, which they will discuss during the estimate. Some offer seasonal promotions or discounts for larger projects. Because pricing varies significantly by region and dealer, getting quotes from multiple dealers in your area is the only way to understand what the work will cost for your property.

Warranty coverage and what it does and does not include

SYNLawn warranties cover manufacturing defects in the turf itself — seams that separate, backing that deteriorates, or color fading beyond normal use. The length of coverage varies by product line, typically ranging from 8 to 15 years. The warranty is usually non-transferable, meaning if you sell your home, the new owner does not inherit it.

Warranties do not cover damage from heavy use, pet damage, improper maintenance, or installation issues caused by the dealer. If a seam fails due to poor installation, the dealer's warranty (separate from SYNLawn's product warranty) may cover the repair. Always ask your dealer to explain what is and is not covered before you sign the contract.

Maintenance and care after installation

Artificial turf requires less maintenance than natural grass but is not maintenance-free. You should brush the turf occasionally to keep the blades upright and remove debris. In areas with heavy rainfall, drainage is usually not a problem. In dry climates, some people rinse the turf to remove dust and keep it looking fresh, though this is optional.

Pet owners should rinse the area regularly if pets use the turf, and some dealers recommend enzyme-based cleaners designed for artificial turf to manage odor. Avoid pressure washers, which can damage the backing, and do not use herbicides or pesticides on the turf. The dealer will provide a care guide with your installation that covers these details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I install SYNLawn turf myself?

No. SYNLawn requires installation through a licensed dealer. The seaming process requires specialized equipment and training, and improper installation can cause seams to separate or drainage to fail. The dealer's installation is part of the warranty agreement.

How long does SYNLawn turf last?

Most SYNLawn products last 15 to 20 years with normal residential use. Heavy use, direct sunlight in very hot climates, and pet damage can shorten lifespan. The warranty covers manufacturing defects for 8 to 15 years depending on the product line.

Does SYNLawn turf get hot in the sun?

Yes, artificial turf absorbs heat and can become uncomfortably warm in direct sunlight during summer. Some newer products include cooling technology or reflective backing to reduce heat absorption. Ask your dealer which products run cooler if this is a concern for your climate.

What if I want to remove the turf later?

Removal is possible but labor-intensive and costly. The turf must be cut into sections, the base layer removed, and the ground restored. Most dealers can provide removal quotes, but expect to pay a significant portion of the original installation cost.

Does SYNLawn work in cold climates?

Yes. Artificial turf performs well in cold weather and snow. It does not freeze solid like natural grass and drains properly even in winter. In areas with heavy snow, you can shovel it like you would natural grass, though the turf underneath will not be damaged.
