If you’re looking for the perfect artificial turf for high-traffic grass replacement, Summit 81 delivers. It provides the exceptional durability and vibrant appearance that discerning homeowners and property managers demand. We’ve watched countless clients fall in love with the Summit 81 turf type that not only mimics natural grass but stands up to the heaviest use while eliminating the headaches of traditional lawn maintenance.
Why Summit 81 Stands Out for High-Traffic Lawn Applications
Summit 81 represents the pinnacle of durability and performance for areas that see constant activity. With its specially engineered Omega blade design and beautiful candy apple green color, this synthetic grass creates that coveted “just-mowed” look that stays pristine year-round, even under intense foot traffic.
Key Performance Features:
- 1.25-inch pile height with Omega blade design for maximum durability
- 81-ounce total weight providing superior resilience under heavy use
- Polyethylene yarn construction for long-lasting color retention
- Polyurethane backing with superior drainage for Colorado’s weather extremes
- Perfect for dog runs, play areas, putting green fringes, and high-activity zones
This makes Summit 81 ideal for busy families, pet owners, and commercial properties where durability is paramount, eliminating the constant watering, fertilizing, and mowing that natural grass demands.
