Controlled Products Sassy Grass Artificial Grass
Controlled Products Sassy Grass (model code PL960, cross-distributed via the Sporturf Sassy Grass line) is a premium, heavy-duty multi-purpose landscape turf.Its distinguishing architectural feature is a specialized, non-directional pile lay yarn profile. Unlike standard artificial grasses that have a distinct "grain direction" requiring precision alignment during roll layout, Sassy Grass blades are engineered to stand randomly. This replicates the irregular, organic appearance of a pristine, real-world natural lawn better than directional options. Ideal for luxury lawns, corporate courtyard lounges, and urban rooftop decks. The non-directional blade tech ensures that the turf looks completely natural from every viewing angle. Sourced for child play spaces. When paired with an underlying foam shockpad, the 1 9⁄16" face provides outstanding impact attenuation for critical fall height compliance. The tough SilverBack coating withstands rigorous animal clawing and digging. Liquid waste drains quickly through its perforated layout, keeping the area fresh and odor-free.

Built For Natural Landscape Performance
Controlled Products Sassy Grass (PL960) is highly valued by architects, contractors, and facility managers because its non-directional pile profile eliminates the strict "grain direction" issues of standard turf. This unique feature makes it versatile for a variety of specific project applications. Standard turf can look hyper-reflective or unnaturally shiny when viewed against the grain. Sassy Grass looks uniform and realistic from any angle, making it ideal for highly visible front yards, corporate entrance plazas, and highway medians. Because it requires very little infill ballast to keep the blades standing upright, it keeps the overall weight-load of the installation low. This is critical for structural load limits on urban rooftops, balconies, and elevated concrete decks. Sassy Grass is built on a heavily fortified, porous SilverBack™ Polyurethane backing. It handles aggressive claw digging, while liquid waste drains instantly through the perforated base to control odors.

Recommended Applications
Controlled Products Sassy Grass (PL960) is a premium, multi-purpose landscape and athletic turf designed for versatility across both indoor and outdoor environments. Its design integrates a multi-color blend of curled diamond polyethylene monofilament blades with a texturized polyethylene thatch. It utilizes a meticulously balanced two-color blend that replicates the look and feel of natural grass. Sassy Grass incorporates an entirely new blade architecture that creates a non-directional pile lay. This removes the strict "grain direction" issues of standard turf, eliminating awkward sheen reflections and ensuring the yard looks realistic from any viewing angle. The structural thatch layer provides built-in body, which reduces the overall amount of infill weight required to keep the fibers standing erect. This makes it heavily favored for weight-restricted urban spaces like commercial courtyards, patios, porches, and elevated rooftop balconies
- High-Impact, Elite Athletic Applications
- Suited for Professional Sports Stadiums
Installation & Care Notes
Controlled Products Sassy Grass (PL960) installations require strict adherence to civil engineering baselines, whether deployed across outdoor landscaping or indoor sports training facilities. Because Sassy Grass utilizes a heavy 78 oz. face weight and a non-directional pile lay with a built-in texturized thatch layer, proper subgrade preparation and anchoring protocols are critical to ensure long-term stability and efficient drainage. Excavate the native soil to a depth of 4 to 6 inches, removing all roots, rocks, and organic sod. Grade and compact the raw earth, sloping it at a minimum 0.5% pitch toward a drainage collector trench or sub-surface drain. Lay a commercial-grade woven geotextile fabric directly over the compacted native soil to keep the underlying dirt from contaminating the clean aggregate stones. Spread a 4-inch deep foundation of 3/4-inch crushed turf aggregate rock. Wet the rock thoroughly and compress it to 90% density using a heavy vibrating plate compactor.
- 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
Controlled Products backs its premium Sassy Grass™ line with a 10-year manufacturer's limited warranty that protects your investment against material failures, premature degradation, and abnormal ultraviolet (UV) color fading. Because Sassy Grass™ is manufactured by Controlled Products (the master parent mill behind premium divisions like Synthetic Turf International (STI) and Sporturf), the warranty guarantees strict quality control standards. However, it requires proper installation protocols and regular field upkeep to remain fully valid over its decade-long term. The warranty covers premature fiber rot, brittleness, or severe fading caused by standard sunlight exposure. The specialized polymers are guaranteed to retain structural integrity without breaking down under extreme solar heat. Fusing failures—such as the artificial grass yarns separating prematurely from the primary backing matrix—are covered if caused by factory adhesive errors. The emerald and lime green hues are warrantied against chemical fading, provided the turf has only been exposed to approved domestic cleaning agents or rainwater.
