Recommended Applications
Synthetic Turf International (STI) SoftLawn® Spring Rye is a multi-purpose landscape artificial grass specifically engineered to handle intense high-traffic workloads while providing a vibrant, early-season visual aesthetic. Due to its dense 87 oz. total product weight and comfortable 1 1/2-inch pile height, it serves as a highly resilient surface across multiple private and municipal industries. Installed in full-yard replacements where homeowners want a lush, mud-free, and pest-free yard that entirely eliminates watering, chemical fertilizing, and mowing. Deployed along pedestrian walkways, entrance areas, and office park courtyards to ensure pristine curb appeal that never develops worn-down dirt pathways or ruts under heavy public foot traffic.

Installation & Care Notes
Installing Synthetic Turf International (STI) SoftLawn® Spring Rye requires an engineered sub-base and strict tensioning to ensure that its heavy 87 oz. total product weight lays flat and drains perfectly. Dig out and remove existing sod, weeds, and root systems to a depth of 3 to 4 inches. Grade the underlying native soil at a minimum 0.5% slope toward your chosen drainage route or collector trenches. Roll out a heavy-duty geotextile weed fabric across the entire exposed soil floor to block weed growth while preserving water drainage. Add a 2 to 3-inch layer of crushed stone or Class 2 road base (typically ¾-inch minus aggregate). Mist the aggregate with water and pack it down using a vibrating plate compactor. Apply a final ½ to 1-inch leveling layer of fine aggregate (such as crushed granite dust or sharp sand). Screed the top layer perfectly smooth and compact it a final time to create a rock-hard, unyielding foundation.
- 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

Is STi SoftLawn Spring Rye Right For Your Project?
Synthetic Turf International (STI) SoftLawn® Spring Rye is designed for diverse residential, commercial, and athletic landscaping projects. Thanks to its plush 87 oz. total weight, 1 ½-inch pile height, and built-in texturized thatch layer, it is a highly versatile turf engineered to reduce the volume of sand infill required while mimicking a lush, authentic grass texture. The four-color blend (featuring Field and Clover or Apple tones) replicates a freshly-cut natural lawn. It replaces indigenous grasses in areas with poor soil, deep shade, or strict watering restrictions. Used around retail facilities, corporate complexes, and medians because it requires zero mowing, fertilizers, or insecticides while maintaining an upscale, manicured aesthetic. It is widely used by golf designers to build professional putting green fringes. The texturized thatch adds structural body to the turf, allowing it to accurately check golf ball chips and transition smoothly from synthetic putting greens (like STI's NP50) into surrounding roughs.
