American Syn Turf AST Epic XL Artificial Grass
American Syn-Turf (AST) Epic XL is a premium, high-density synthetic grass engineered for ultimate resilience and visual realism in high-traffic residential and commercial environments. It is manufactured in two primary variants—the Standard Epic XL and the ultra-drainage Epic XL Permeable—both featuring advanced fiber memory technology to resist flattening. A multi-toned, high-fidelity blend of Field Green, Apple Green, and Emerald, supported by dual-toned Green and Tan thatching for organic depth. Built with specialized monofilament yarn that maintains its structural curve and vertical position even after absorbing continuous impacts. The blade geometry is designed to spring back upright after being compressed by heavy foot traffic or patio furniture.

Installation & Care Notes
Installing American Syn-Turf (AST) Epic XL artificial grass requires a meticulous, multi-phase construction process. Because of its generous 1.75-inch pile height and high 86 oz/sq yd total weight, achieving a flawless, stable foundation prevents shifting, wrinkles, or visible seams over time. Strip away existing lawns, weeds, and topsoil to a depth of 3 to 4 inches below your final desired grade. Treat the exposed subgrade with a non-hazardous weed killer and lay a heavy-duty geotextile weed barrier to block invasive root growth. Smooth out the native dirt floor, sloping it roughly 1% to 2% away from structural foundations to aid natural rainwater drainage.
- Professional base preparation recommended
- Use appropriate infill for the application
- Brush fibers periodically to maintain appearance
- Rinse as needed for dust, pets, or debris
- Confirm drainage needs before installation
Warranty & Availability
American Syn-Turf (AST) Epic XL is protected by distinct warranty durations based on how the project is utilized. Residential landscape projects receive a 15-year limited product warranty, while commercial applications are covered for 8 years from the date of purchase. Safeguards the yarn fibers against severe structural breakdown, color loss, or brittleness stemming from direct sunlight exposure. Covers failures resulting from production faults, such as weak tuft bind or backing grid splits. Shifting, wrinkling, or poor drainage caused by an incorrect sub-base layout or faulty installation methods will void the policy. Melting or distortion caused by highly concentrated sunlight reflected off multi-pane Low-E windows or adjacent glass is entirely excluded.

Is American Syn Turf AST Epic XL Right For Your Project?
American Syn-Turf (AST) Epic XL is a premium, heavy-duty artificial grass designed primarily for high-end residential and commercial landscapes where a thick, plush feel is desired. Due to its tall 1.75-inch pile height and high-density 86 oz/sq yd total weight, it is specifically selected for projects that need to balance luxury aesthetics with heavy foot traffic durability. Selected by homeowners who want a dense, luxurious, deep-green lawn that looks manicured year-round. Installed around swimming pools because it provides a soft, slip-resistant surface for bare feet, stays green despite chlorine splashes, and prevents muddy feet from entering the pool.
