American Syn Turf Cascade Light Artificial Grass
American Syn-Turf (AST) Cascade Light is a mid-weight, high-performance artificial grass designed for residential lawns, school playgrounds, public parks, and moderate-to-heavy traffic landscapes. It serves as a lighter, highly versatile alternative within the Cascade series, balancing extreme durability with a soft underfoot feel. Balanced at 1.5 inches to 1.625 inches for a natural, tidy look. Engineered with high-performance 3D Curvy "W" or "U" shaped memory fibers. These shapes diffuse harsh sunlight to eliminate glare and spring back into position immediately after being stepped on. Features a rich blend of Field Green, Apple Green, or Olive Green paired with a natural tan and green thatch layer to replicate real sod. Features an approximate 48 oz to 55 oz face weight and a 74 oz per square yard total weight, keeping the profile highly manageable for DIY and residential roll-outs.

Built For Natural Landscape Performance
American Syn-Turf (AST) Cascade Light is designed for heavy multi-directional traffic and extreme climate exposure. The memory fiber shape springs back upright after being compressed by children, pets, or heavy patio furniture. It eliminates high-traffic paths and muddy dead spots near pool splash zones, keeping front and backyards looking clean and manicured. It is manufactured using 100% lead-free, non-toxic, and hypoallergenic materials. Provides a safe, soft, mud-free play area that completely eliminates grass allergies and stains for children. The balanced pile height (1.5" to 1.625") creates a neat look that handles constant public walking and foot traction. Allows corporate plazas, retail spaces, and public parks to cut down on monthly watering, mowing, and landscape maintenance costs. It features a perforated backing that flushes water and liquids at a rate of over 30 inches per hour. Prevents pet urine from pooling on the surface, making it easy to rinse off solid waste and control odors.

Recommended Applications
American Syn-Turf (AST) Cascade Light is engineered for high-performance versatility, balancing a manicured aesthetic with heavy-traffic resilience. Handles backyard football games, family gatherings, and continuous foot traffic without forming flattened pathways. Installed next to swimming pool hardscapes because its structural blades resist chlorine splash-back and prevent slippery, muddy patches. Easily cut to size for custom placement as green ribbon accents inside geometric concrete paver networks or driveway strips. Features a perforated backing grid capable of draining more than 30 inches of liquid per hour per square yard. Fast flushing prevents pet urine from pooling on the sub-base, helping homeowners rinse away waste easily to keep ammonia smells at bay.

Installation & Care Notes
American Syn-Turf (AST) Cascade Light installations follow a precise engineering sequence to ensure a smooth, stable, and high-draining surface. Whether handling active pets, child playgrounds, or high-traffic home lawns, a professional installation relies on correct sub-base preparation and execution steps. Excavate existing natural grass and topsoil to a depth of 2 to 4 inches, depending on soil composition (clay soils require deeper excavation than sandy soils). Smooth out the native dirt sub-grade, ensuring a slight 1% to 2% slope away from buildings, home foundations, or pools to direct water drainage. Lay down a heavy-duty, commercial-grade geotextile weed barrier fabric across the cleared dirt to prevent future weed growth while allowing water to pass through.
- 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
