Fire Resistant Artificial Grass

True Turf Inc.

• True Turf uses Tiger Turf synthetic lawns which are assembled in Austin TX from both domestic and imported materials. These Tiger Turf synthetic lawns have a very high ignition temperature and are fire resistant. Although the majority of True Turf's business is in California, where they offer a number of professional estimate and installation solutions, the company ships do-it-yourself lawn installations nationwide and offers technical support over the phone. This company also supplies commercial turf for businesses, golf courses and athletic fields. Styles of turf range from Bermuda to Emerald and Marquis varieties.

Synthetic Turf International

• Synthetic Turf International, or STI, supplies commercial and home synthetic grass worldwide and provides solutions for a number of different projects from golf courses and lawns to indoor putting greens, playgrounds and school yards. Their SoftLawn turf, often used for home lawns and play areas, provides soft fibers of polyethylene that are UV protected. The materials are fire resistant and, thanks to the UV coating, will not overheat on hot days. STI's SoftLawn has been featured in public events such as the Silver Spring Maryland Jazz Festival.

Smart Lawn

• Smart Lawn Artificial Turf offers a range of synthetic fire-resistant turf for both the home and the golf course. These styles, which include 2 tone turf, El Cajon, and San Diego Tuff Turf are designed to blend into the surrounding landscape, providing a water saving and low-maintenance lawn without the glaring differences that less detailed artificial turf sometimes show. In addition to being fire resistant, Smart Lawn products are pet friendly and contain no chemicals that could be detrimental to the pet.

Field Turf

• Part of the Tarkett Sports family of companies, Field Turf provides artificial grass and turf to playing fields, airports and residential properties. Field Turf lawns are designed to last 8 years and comprise polyethylene fibers that are highly flame retardant. According to FieldTurf.com, "FieldTurf stood up to the challenge of recent fires in Southern California, suffering only minor scorch damage from heat and embers." Field Turf is available nationwide and can be installed professionally or by the homeowner.
