STi SoftLawn Kentucky Blue Plus Artificial Grass
Synthetic Turf International (STI) SoftLawn® Kentucky Blue Plus is a premier landscape turf engineered to replicate the look and feel of a natural Kentucky Bluegrass lawn. Built with a heavyweight profile and a supportive thatch layer, it blends high durability with a realistic, low-matte appearance. The slim, Mini-Diamond blade design breaks up sunlight reflection, eliminating the artificial "plastic sheen" typical of cheaper synthetics. It is chosen for upscale estate lawns, corporate courtyards, and urban common areas where a luxurious, fresh-cut appearance is required without ongoing irrigation or mowing expenses. The tight structure and dense underlying thatch layer give the turf exceptional body. This allows it to meet strict ADA/ABA compliance guidelines—wheelchairs and strollers roll smoothly across the surface, and crutches or walking canes will not sink into the turf grid. It is regularly deployed at school play yards and community playgrounds as a cleaner, safer alternative to wood mulch or shredded rubber.

Installation & Care Notes
Synthetic Turf International (STI) SoftLawn® Kentucky Blue Plus requires a rigorous, multi-layered installation process to secure its heavy 107 oz. shipping weight and plush 1 3/4-inch pile height. Proper installation guarantees excellent vertical drainage, prevents fiber matting, and ensures long-term stability across landscapes, putting green fringes, and playground surfaces. Cut out and remove existing sod and topsoil to a uniform depth of 3 to 4 inches below the final grade. Slope the underlying subgrade at a minimum 0.5% grade toward a dedicated drainage collector trench or the perimeter drainage zone to prevent pooling under the backing matrix. Firmly pack the raw soil base using a heavy mechanical vibrating plate compactor. Unroll a premium geotextile filter fabric or weed block over the entire compacted dirt subgrade. This barrier isolates the aggregate stone from the soil, halts weed penetration, and prevents shifting.
- 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
