STi SoftLawn BlueGrass Blend Plus Artificial Grass
Synthetic Turf International (STI) SoftLawn® Bluegrass Blend Plus is engineered primarily for premium residential and commercial landscapes, golf putting green fringes, high-safety playgrounds, and pet areas. Featuring a substantial 82 oz. to 87 oz. total weight, a 1 ½” to 1 5/8” pile height, and an integrated texturized polypropylene thatch layer, this turf adds extra body to the yarn system. This structural support keeps the blades standing upright while significantly reducing the volume of sand ballast infill required during field deployment. Replicates a manicured, authentic northern grass texture. It is chosen by homeowners to completely replace temperamental living sod in deeply shaded zones or regions with strict municipal water restrictions. Deployed around shopping complexes, offices, and multi-family walkways because it maintains its rich coloration under heavy public foot traffic without mowing or chemical fertilizer cycles. Heavily specified to serve as the fringe and collar border wrapped around professional synthetic putting surfaces (such as STI's NP50 nylon greens).

Built For Natural Landscape Performance
Synthetic Turf International (STI) SoftLawn® Bluegrass Blend Plus is designed for specific structural layouts because of its thick, medium-profile thatch system. It is used as the perimeter "collar" or fringe surrounding dense nylon putting greens (like STI NP50). The dense underlying thatch slows down and catches chipped golf balls, mimicking a real country club short-rough. It replaces natural lawns in shaded yards, poolside decks, and commercial walkways. The built-in texturized polypropylene thatch keeps the grass blades standing completely upright, meaning you need less sand infill to keep it looking pristine. It is fully ADA/ABA compliant. The tight, stable pile prevents wheelchair wheels, crutches, and walking canes from sinking into the backing. It replaces loose wood mulch or tire rubber nuggets, creating a flat, clean surface free of hidden glass or wood splinters. Deployed in backyard dog runs and commercial boarding facilities. The perforated SilverBack™ Polyurethane backing allows liquid pet waste to drain instantly down into the stone base, preventing mold, mildew, and odor buildup.

Recommended Applications
Synthetic Turf International (STI) SoftLawn® Bluegrass Blend Plus is a professional-grade artificial turf explicitly engineered for applications requiring high-traffic resilience, structural blade recovery, and a realistic "cool-season" grass texture. This is one of its signature applications. It is used to construct the lush "second cut" or fringe apron wrapped around short-nap nylon golf putting greens. The dense, multi-directional grass fibers absorb the impact of incoming chip and pitch shots, mimicking the checking and rolling behavior of a real country club rough. Replaces high-maintenance sod in front and backyards, providing an all-weather, mud-free recreational space that entirely eliminates mowing, watering, and chemical fertilizing. Deployed around retail hubs, corporate plazas, and multi-family housing walkways where continuous pedestrian foot traffic would quickly wear natural grass down into bare dirt ruts.

- Suited for Professional Sports Stadiums
Installation & Care Notes
To install Synthetic Turf International (STI) SoftLawn® Bluegrass Blend Plus properly, you must follow a rigorous multi-layer process. Because this turf is frequently used for golf green fringes, high-traffic landscapes, and pet areas, achieving a perfectly smooth, free-draining foundation is critical to prevent wrinkling or sagging. Excavate the existing sod, weeds, and soil to a uniform depth of 3 to 4 inches. Cap the excavation floor with a slight 1% to 2% slope away from buildings, fences, or patios to guide subsurface water flow. Lay down a heavy-duty commercial geotextile weed barrier across the excavated dirt floor. Secure it with 6-inch landscape staples, overlapping any seams by at least 6 inches. Infill the excavation with 2.5 to 3 inches of crushed rock (such as Class 2 road base or 3/4-inch minus crushed limestone). Wet the stone and compact it thoroughly using a mechanical vibratory 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
