Why Homeowners Switch to Synthetic

A Lawn That Stays Green Without the Work

Residential artificial grass replaces the mowing, watering, fertilizing and seasonal resealing that natural lawns demand. The result is a green, usable outdoor space that looks the same in January as it does in July.

No Mowing, No Watering, No Allergens

Synthetic turf eliminates the three biggest burdens of natural lawn care. No mower to maintain, no irrigation bills, and no grass pollen triggering allergies during growing season. Homeowners reclaim weekends and reduce annual landscape costs significantly.

Consistent Appearance Year-Round

Natural grass goes dormant in winter, browns in drought and develops bare patches under heavy use. Synthetic turf maintains its green color and full coverage through every season and weather condition, giving your home consistent curb appeal.

Safe for Families and Pets

Relyir residential turf is manufactured from non-toxic, virgin PE materials — no recycled content of unknown origin. The fibers are lead-free and the backing drains liquids quickly, keeping the surface clean and safe for children and pets.

Product Range

One hundred and fifteen landscapes. Fifteen to start with.

Residential turf is chosen by feel: blade shape, thatch colour and pile height that match the lawn you picture. Below are fifteen of our 115 landscape models, from 25 mm entry turf to 50 mm flagship — every one extruded, tufted and backed in our own Jiangsu plant.

Choosing the Right Turf for Your Home

Every residential application has different requirements. A balcony or rooftop terrace needs a short-pile, lightweight turf that handles well in confined spaces. A family garden needs a medium-pile turf with thatch fibers that mimics the look and feel of a natural lawn. A pool surround needs a dense, short-pile surface that stays cool underfoot and drains splash water instantly.

Relyir’s landscaping series covers all of these with models ranging from 10 mm balcony and pool-deck turf to 60 mm lush garden-lawn turf. The sweet spot for most residential lawns is 30–37 mm — tall enough to look natural, short enough to resist flattening under regular foot traffic.

Color matters more than most buyers expect. A two-tone blade with contrasting thatch (the shorter, curly fibers at the base) creates the visual depth that makes synthetic turf look like a real lawn. Several of our landscape ranges include multiple thatch color options to match the visual character of natural grass in your region.

Installation on residential sites is typically simpler than commercial projects. Most residential lawns can be installed over a compacted aggregate base with a geotextile weed barrier, requiring no specialized equipment beyond standard landscaping tools. Sand infill (2–5 kg/m²) adds weight and helps keep fibers upright.

The best residential turf is the one you forget is synthetic. It should look natural from the street, feel comfortable under bare feet, and require so little maintenance that you stop thinking about lawn care altogether.

For homeowners considering artificial grass, the investment typically pays back within 3–5 years through eliminated water bills, lawn service costs and equipment purchases. The turf then continues to perform for 10–15 years with minimal maintenance.

Factory Direct from Jiangsu

Eight Production Steps Under One Roof

Relyir has manufactured artificial grass in Jiangsu since 2006. Residential turf runs on the same production lines as our sports and commercial products — the same quality system, the same virgin materials.

All eight production stages are managed in-house. The automated sports turf line, commissioned in 2015, lifted production capacity by 150%. Residential landscaping orders — from small single-roll purchases to container-load distributor orders — receive the same quality control and material standards as our largest projects.

The export team has shipped to more than 500 customers across 50+ countries since 2009. We provide samples, technical datasheets and installation guidance with every order. Custom blade density, pile height and colors are available on request.

Every order is produced to specification — pile height, density, blade shape and color, backing composition and roll dimensions are all configured to your project requirements.

Residential Installation

Four Steps to a New Lawn

Residential artificial grass installation is a manageable project for professional landscapers and experienced DIY homeowners alike. Most residential lawns are completed in one to three days.

1

Remove Existing Lawn

Excavate the existing grass and topsoil to a depth of 60–100 mm. This creates the space for the base layer and ensures the finished turf sits flush with surrounding paving and edging.

2

Build the Base

Fill with crushed aggregate and compact to a firm, level surface with a slight slope for drainage. Lay geotextile weed barrier over the compacted base.

3

Lay and Seam the Turf

Roll out the turf, allow it to relax, trim to fit, and seam adjacent rolls with adhesive and seam tape. Secure the perimeter with nails or edge adhesive. Cut around existing features like trees and drainage covers.

4

Infill and Brush

Apply silica sand infill (3–5 kg/m²) and brush it into the pile. The sand adds weight, holds fibers upright and improves the natural appearance of the lawn.

Ongoing Maintenance

Residential artificial grass needs minimal maintenance. Brush the surface monthly with a stiff broom or power brush to keep fibers upright. Remove leaves and debris promptly to prevent organic buildup. Rinse pet areas with water as needed.

An annual sand top-up and deep brush keeps the lawn looking fresh. With this basic maintenance, the turf maintains its appearance and performance for 10–15 years.

  • Monthly brushing to maintain fiber uprightness
  • Annual sand top-up for consistent appearance
  • 10–15 year lifespan with basic maintenance

The Numbers Behind the Lawn

For homeowners the case is quantified: by the Synthetic Turf Council’s estimate, a natural lawn of the same size drinks on the order of 55 gallons of water per square foot per year, and eliminating irrigation typically cuts total household water use by around 70% where the lawn dominates the landscape. The practical checklist buyers use is shorter: realistic color and texture, safe materials for children and pets, drainage that clears rain quickly, and a lifespan measured in decades rather than seasons.

Ask Us Directly
How much water does a synthetic lawn actually save?

Estimates from the Synthetic Turf Council put natural lawn consumption around 55 gallons per square foot per year; replacing it eliminates essentially all irrigation, which homeowners commonly see as a roughly 70% reduction in outdoor water use.

What pile height is best for a residential lawn?

The optimal range is 30–37 mm for most residential applications. Shorter pile (10–20 mm) works for balconies, rooftops and pool surrounds. Longer pile (40–60 mm) creates a lush garden lawn appearance but may require more frequent brushing to prevent flattening.

Is artificial grass safe for children and pets?

Yes. Relyir residential turf is made from virgin PE materials — non-toxic, lead-free and free of recycled content of unknown origin. The perforated backing drains liquids quickly, and the surface can be rinsed clean. The fibers are soft enough for bare feet and play.

How much does a residential lawn cost?

Turf pricing ranges from $7 to $60 per square meter depending on model, pile height and density. Installation costs vary by region and site complexity. Most homeowners find the investment pays back within 3–5 years through eliminated lawn maintenance costs.

Will artificial grass get hot in summer sun?

Synthetic turf absorbs more heat than natural grass in direct sunlight. Lighter-colored fibers and shorter pile heights stay cooler. For areas with intense sun exposure, consider a lighter colorway and occasional water spray to reduce surface temperature during peak heat.

Does it look real?

Modern synthetic turf with multi-tone blades and thatch fibers looks realistic at normal viewing distances. Selected ranges include contrasting thatch colors that replicate the natural variation in a real lawn. The best test is to request a sample and see it in your own garden setting.

Do you provide free samples before we order?

Yes. Samples are free of charge — you only cover the shipping. Standard swatches are 20 × 20 cm and we typically send three to four models per project so you can compare pile heights and colors side by side. Standard samples ship via DHL or FedEx within 4–6 days; custom-matched samples add 10–15 days of production.

Do you handle shipping and export paperwork?

Yes. Choose between two options: delivered to your destination port, with export customs clearance in China, international ocean freight and cargo insurance included in one all-inclusive cost; or delivered to a Chinese port if you prefer to work with your own freight forwarder. Other delivery arrangements can be accommodated on request.

What is the minimum order size?

Orders range from single rolls for smaller installations to full container loads for large developments. Roll sizes of 2 m, 4 m and 5 m widths (25 m length) cover most layouts, and custom dimensions are produced to order. Volume pricing applies as order size increases.
