STi SoftLawn Fresh Cut Pro Artificial Grass
Synthetic Turf International (STI) SoftLawn® Fresh Cut Pro is a signature playground and high-traffic landscaping product engineered with an integrated thatch layer for added structural body. Its design features a dense 97 oz. total weight per square yard and a 1 ¼-inch pile height, specifically optimized to reduce the volume of sand infill required while delivering a clean, manicured "fresh-cut" aesthetic. Built with robust 4Q yarn technology and a tough texturized polypropylene thatch to withstand repetitive foot traffic under play structures without crushing. The tight, flat surface ensures that wheelchairs roll smoothly and crutches or canes do not sink into the turf backing. Replaces wood mulch or shredded rubber nuggets, completely eliminating mud tracks and the risk of hidden hazards like broken glass or insects. Uses a realistic dual-color blend (Field/Clover or Field/Olive) to replicate the precise look of a freshly mown natural lawn.

Built For Natural Landscape Performance
Synthetic Turf International (STI) SoftLawn® Fresh Cut Pro is structurally engineered for high-traffic environments that require a clean, manicured grass look combined with extreme durability. Its short 1 ¼-inch pile height and dense 97 oz. weight dictate its specific, high-utility use cases. Replaces wood mulch or rubber nuggets. It is often installed over shock pads to provide fall height protection. Its high density makes it completely ADA/ABA compliant, ensuring wheelchair wheels roll smoothly and mobility devices do not sink. Used extensively in commercial dog daycares, veterinary boarders, and residential dog runs. Because the turf is short and tight, solid pet waste sits on top and is highly accessible to scoop, while urine flushes instantly through the perforated backing.
- Natural multi-tone appearance
- Soft realistic blade structure
- Drainage-friendly construction
- Low-maintenance performance
- UV-stabilized color retention

Recommended Applications
Synthetic Turf International (STI) SoftLawn® Fresh Cut Pro is engineered primarily for high-traffic public playgrounds, commercial pet facilities, golf green fringes, and high-density commercial landscaping. Its specific structural composition—a short 1 ¼-inch pile height and a dense 97 oz. total weight—makes it ideal for applications where foot traffic is intense and ease of cleaning is critical. Replaces loose-fill wood mulch or shredded rubber nuggets. When installed over certified shock-attenuation pads, it creates a safe fall zone. Its high tuft density makes the surface ADA/ABA compliant, allowing wheelchairs, strollers, and walking aids to roll across smoothly without sinking into the backing. Highly favored by commercial dog daycares, veterinary boarders, and residential kennels. Because the pile is short and tightly woven, solid pet waste remains on top for easy scooping, while the fully perforated backing lets liquid waste flush away instantly.
- High-Impact, Elite Athletic Applications
- Suited for Professional Sports Stadiums
Installation & Care Notes
Synthetic Turf International (STI) SoftLawn® Fresh Cut Pro requires a specialized, heavy-duty installation methodology. Because of its dense 97 oz. total weight and its primary deployment in high-impact areas—such as ADA/ABA inclusive playgrounds, commercial pet boarding kennels, and golf green fringes—the installation process emphasizes deep sub-base stability, precision seaming, and rigorous moisture management. Traditional sod and topsoil are excavated to a uniform depth of 3 to 4 inches across the entire footprint. Existing sprinkler lines are systematically capped or cut back to the main supply valve to avoid pressurized water leaks underneath the finished turf system. The underlying native soil is graded at a 0.5% slope directing toward a planned drainage exit point or collector trench. High-tensile, woven geotextile filter fabric is rolled out directly over the raw dirt and pinned down. This fabric permanently stabilizes the native soil, prevents weeds, and acts as a foundation layer to keep the stone base from sinking into the mud.
- 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
Synthetic Turf International (STI) SoftLawn® Fresh Cut Pro is backed by an official 8-year manufacturer’s limited product warranty. This coverage protects the financial investment of the ultimate property owner, guaranteeing that the 97 oz. total weight turf maintains its performance standards under regular residential or commercial landscape use. Covered at 100% for the first full year from the date of shipment, operating on a prorated structure for the remaining 7 years. Guarantees that the soft polyethylene fibers will not lose more than 50% of their original tensile strength due to sun exposure or atmospheric fading. If a DIY build or uncertified local crew neglects to compact the aggregate base to a 95% Proctor density, any resulting dips, deep water-pooling, or backing tears are excluded. Direct melting, shrinking, or warping caused by highly reflective, energy-efficient home windows focusing intense sun beams onto the yarn is not covered.
