An artificial grass’ pile height – the length of the blades – will play an important role in both performance and style. With regard to style, it’s quite simple: some prefer a shorter look, while others don’t. If you are of the opinion that shorter turf styles appear more realistic, you might want to shop for pile heights between 1.2 inches to 1.6 inches. On the other hand, if you like taller styles, look for grasses that are 1.8 inches and taller.
With regard to performance, the types of artificial grass that have taller pile heights tend to show traffic patterns more over time, and are not always best for high-traffic applications. Pile heights 1.6 inches and below are often recommended for active areas.
