Customer Reviews: Golden Isles Florida

One thing that separates GST from the competition is their sales reps. Their reps are some of the best in the entire industry and can always answer my questions when I get stuck. I run a small family operated landscaping company and I had no prior knowledge of turf. The learning curve was tough, but with Greg's help, I quickly learned and adapted. I now proudly offer GST turf to my customers and can even pass some of the knowledge on to them!

I am so glad I found Global Syn Turf and their vast selection of artificial turf.  I had samples sent to me from many different turf companies including Global Syn Turf, but no one had as many different skus of turf as Global Syn Turf.  They have so many different series and varieties of artificial turf.  They have the Performance Series/Engineered Blades such as the Star Grass, Riviera Monterey Series, U Blade Series, W Blade Series, C Blade 92 and the Cool Blue Series.  These are very engineered and high performance blades in the turf.  They range primarily in Emerald Green and Olive Green color configurations.  The most popular series is the S Blade Series.  You have S Blade 50, S Blade 66 and the S Blade 90 which comes with a green thatch or a green and brown thatch.  This is the work horse of all the turfs and are all Olive Green and Emerald Green.   Next is the Sierra Series with the Sierra Pro 70, Sierra Super 94 and the High Sierra.  These turf are thick lush turfs that use Field Green and Lime Green yarn for the construction of the artificial turf.   The Putting Green Series consists of Pro Putt 44, Putt 46 Bi color and Putt 60 Bi Color.  These are clearly designed for putting surfaces but have many different artificial turf applications that are need a turf that has a low pile height.  Next you have the Natural Series which is my personal favorite and it includes All Natural 75, Natural Blend 70, Super Natural 60 and Super Natural 80.  I highly recommend you get samples of this series if you are looking for artificial turf in your yard.  I personally had the Super Natural 80 installed in my yard.   Global Syn Turf caries a Pet Turf for Pets and a Trainers turf for Training.   Then you have the Emerald Series, Spring Series and Olive Series to wrap up the offering.  I highly recommend this company for the quality and selection of artificial turf. 

I love living in Florida and I want to get artificial turf just like my neighbor.  My neighbor has the nicest looking artificial turf I have ever seen installed.  I have seen a lot of artificial turf in my time and so much of it looks fake.  I finally got up the nerve to ask my one neighbor that has the nice looking artificial turf.  They told me it was Global Syn Turf and a local installer had installed it.  The turf in the her yard was Super Sierra 94.  It was a super tall lush looking turf that really matched the turf in this part of the country.  She said she would look for the installers name and number and give it to me when she found it.  In the meantime I googled Global Syn Turf and saw all of their artificial turfs online.  I called them and asked for sample of the turf to be mailed to my house.  I choose the S Blade 90, Super Sierra 94, SuperNatural 80, C Blade 92.  Once the artificial turf samples arrive I found that I still liked the Sierra Super 94 as it was the one that matched the natural grass here in Florida. They told me they were a manufacturer and they did not do installs and they gave me the name of the installer in my area.  My neighbor said that was the same company that installed her turf.  2 Weeks later I had my new grass installed and I am glad I waited to find the grass I liked.

I want to thank Global Syn Turf for referring me to their wonderful artificial turf distributor here in Miami, Florida.  Global Syn Turf politely told me they were a manufacturer of artificial turf and did not install or sell turf directly.  The dealer here in Miami was very professional and responsive.  We have a house right on the inland waterway and wanted a nice putting green, a boccie ball court and artificial turf throughout the yard.  We did not want maintenance or have to pay for watering.  Our gardener costs up $500 a month and water bill is around $600.  They say 70% of your water bill goes to watering your lawn.  If that is the case we stand to save $920 per month in gardening and watering.  If my new artificial turf lawn is $20,000 then we stand to pay for the artificial turf installation in 21 months.  That is less than two years.  How does that not make since.  The artificial turf distributor here in Miami also gave me 24 months no payments no interest financing.  All I know is our new artificial turf yard, putting green and boccie ball court are amazing and I would recommend this to anyone.  This has added so much value to our home and our neighbors and friends are so fascinated with our new lawn.  

In the Miami area, GST is known to provide some of the best turf out there. They also have some of the friendliest service reps I have dealt with and they know almost everything about turf and installations. Whenever I get a new installation job, my first instinct is to go to GST because of how big their selection is. Nothing feels better than telling your customer that they have over 30 choices to choose from and getting a surprised reaction. I think in this case, more is definitely better and having extra options makes it so that the buying process never goes stale for customers. 

GST's selection of turfs is a any distributors dream. They truly are specialized in what they offer and I would get samples to see what works for you personally. I recommend the Riviera Monterey and S blade series. My inventory gets sold out almost instantly and I find myself returning for more on a weekly basis. I've recently also been testing out ivy to see how well it sells and the volume for those is decent as well.

I get all my turf and accessories from GST. They have the biggest selection for both. I usually order sand in giant pallets so I need a supplier that can keep up with my bulk buying habits. Their customer service team is always helpful in case there's any shipping issues or defective accessories as well. Love doing business with GST and I also love how professional everything is, thanks.

My landscaping company recently partnered with GST. So far, the best seller has been the W-Blade series. It seems customers want a middle ground between price and quality. Although the S blade is high quality, and sells well, it seems most "enthusiasts" I've encountered love the W blade series. I'm currently in the process of requesting more samples of pet turf and the super natural series as I've heard good things about them. The only complaint I have is that they have too many SKUs for me to keep up! It'll take me some time to figure out which ones are right for my company and customers. However, I definitely understand it now when people say that GST has everything you could ask for as a supplier.

My customers can't get enough of GST turf recently. With the recent lock down in Florida, a lot of small businesses have used this as an opportunity to renovate. As a result, my turf sales have actually increased these past few months. With that being said, I needed to find a consistent supplier that could supplement my fast company growth. GST was the only supplier that was able to supply me with enough turf for my jobs on a consistent basis. I was also partnered with a couple of smaller suppliers but they only had a few types of turf to choose from and many were always out of stock. It's unfortunate to see the smaller suppliers shut down due to Covid, but it really makes me appreciate the bigger suppliers who are struggling as well, so thank you.

Going Green with artificial grass is a viable way to save on the earths resources.  Global Syn Turf is one of the world largest manufacturers of artificial grass with a life long goal of creating products that are environmentally correct.  Global Syn Turf has just broken through the threshold and created one of the world's first 100% recyclable turfs.  Most artificial turf is about 95% recyclable because the urethane on the back is not recyclable.  However, Global Syn Turf has broken through the barrier and has changed the world forever by creating the first fully recyclable turf.  The Global Syn Turf Vice President was quoted saying, "Global Syn Turf is and always will  have the environment in mind when building their manufacturing plants to have as small of a foot print as it can on the environment.  We will also strive to create better artificial turf products for the environment."  Global Syn Turf is an innovator of artificial turf products and will always be vertically integrated in the manufacturing process.  This vertical integration gives Global Syn Turf the control on quality they desire.

I want to write a review and say how helpful Global Syn Turf was for me.  A friend of mine referred them to me and I called them and told them that I am physically disabled and can't get around to well.  They gave me the phone number to the local Global Syn Turf dealers here in South Florida.  I also mentioned to them that I don't get around very well but that I was looking for a no maintenance backyard with artificial grass.  They set up an appointment to come to my house to bring me some samples and measure my yard.  I thought all the samples of turf looked great and my favorite was the S Blade 90.  The man measured my yard and explained the installation process in great detail.  He explained it was a 10% deposit and the balance due upon completion once I was 100% happy with the work.  The price seemed very reasonable to me to I proceeded with the deposit and they gave me an installation date.  They explained the installation would take about 4 days.  They showed up one week later and started tearing out my yard about 4 inches deep.  A large dump truck dropped a large pile of rock in the driveway.  They put all the tear out inn the dump truck and wheel borrowed all the rock into the backyard.  They graded the crushed rock aggregate very level, wetted it down and compacted it with a compaction plate.  My yard was slowly transforming to a no maintenance yard. The artificial turf was delivered and dropped on my driveway.  Now today is turf day!  As I watched from my back window they cut the turf in and nailed it down.  Now they are using a spreader to spread infill on top of the artificial turf and now they are brushing it in with gas powered power broom.  I can't believe how my yard is transforming to this green oasis.  Now they are cleaning up and putting everything back where it came from.  Once I reviewed the final work I gave them my final payment.  Now no more water, no more maintenance and a green oasis in my backyard I get to look at every single day.  This is why I wanted to write a review and tell the world how much I appreciate Global Syn Turf and their certified network of dealers.

I was just looking for a piece of turf in my backyard and did not need an installation.  I was looking for a good quality synthetic turf at a reasonable price and be able to pick it up locally.  I Googled Artificial Turf Companies in Jacksonville, FL and found Global Syn Turf.  I called them and reached their corporate headquarters in Northern California.  The lady that answered said they have 10 distribution centers nationwide and there was one right here in Jacksonville.  She said they don't see direct to the public that I would have to buy the turf from the local dealer here in Jacksonville.  I called the dealer, made the purchase right over the phone and picked the turf up at the distribution center here in Jacksonville.  Now that is what I call service.

There are so many turf companies here in Florida it is hard to make sense of the good one and the bad ones.  You don't really know what to trust with online reviews and who the good companies are.  Lucky for me my husband in in the construction industry an someone referred him to Global Syn Turf stating they were a manufacturer and had certified dealers/installers nationwide.  I started by looking at their website and learned a lot about artificial turf, they had pictures and specifications of all their turfs and installation instructions.  I had some samples sent to us and fell in the love with the S Blade 90.  We ended up buying the turf from a Global Syn Turf dealer here in Florida which also did the installation.    I am happy we ended up choosing this turf and this company and we love our new backyard.

I have done extensive research on artificial turf companies, is artificial turf good for the environment, etc.  First, I wanted to work direct with a manufacturer and not an installer.  I wanted to speak with the manufacturer, review their warranty, study and test their turfs before I settled on who I was going to buy from.  I interviewed and spoke with several manufacturers of artificial turf and one stood out the most.  Global Syn Turf was professional, educational and quite honestly had the nicest turf.  I had them send me about a dozen turf samples and I even had a few of them tested.  Their samples seemed the most realistic and had the least amount of shine.  My favorite was the Super Natural 80, this turf has three different types of blades and 6 different colors.  You have to see it to believe it.  I had his turf tested from pile height, face weight and total weight and it matched the specifications and testing Global Syn Turf posts on their website.  By the way, all the turfs Global Syn Turf offers has all the testing and specification right on the website.  This is a nice feature so you don't have to ask the company to send you these items.  After settling on Global Syn Turf as my turf manufacturer I needed to find an installer.  In the past this has proven not to be the easiest of tasks.  Global Syn Turf was happy to provide me the name and numbers to several of their turf distributors in my area.  Some of them had artificial turf installation services w and some just sold the turf and accessories.  After interviewing all the installation options I settled on the one that was the most honest, had a fair price and had many installations referrals I could go see the turf installed in the ground.  Overall I would rate my experience with Global Syn Turf, their distributors and installers an A+.  I recommend anyone looking for artificial turf call this company today.

In Florida, turf has been increasing in demand by residential customers and I am glad to be able to offer them GST turf. Their products are some of the best I've ever seen, and I've been to a lot of home shows in Florida before. The color is spot on and the stitch rate is up to par with the rest of the competition, while they also have the lowest prices. Personally I would recommend GST turf if you haven't tried out their samples already.

Not all artificial turf installers are the same.  My neighbor had the worst experience with a contractor in my area it made me do a lot of research to figure out who I wanted to hire.  I called so many different companies and had 5 different installers come out to give me a bid.  The estimates I had ranged from $5,500 to 7,800.  How the contractors could have such a huge price range is beyond me.  I found Global Syn Turf online and they referred me to their dealer here in Florida.  The dealers installer's estimate was the lowest of the 5 bids I got.  I just want to say this install team was very good at what they do, very hard working and I would recommend to anyone to hire this company.

Not all artificial turf warranties are the same.  Some warranties are offered from the manufacturer themselves and sometimes other synthetic grass resellers offer the warranty.  Trust me when I tell you it is important that you know who the manufacturer is.  That is why it is imperative you settle for a true artificial grass manufacturer's warranty and no alternatives.  If you don't have a warranty from the manufacturer your warranty is not worth the paper it is on.   Here are some things that make artificial turf warranty worthy.  First is you need turf with high quality mono-filament yarn.  Second, the turf has to have a high quality backing.  Next is high quality engineered turf blades.  Trust me when I tell you to choose the right artificial turf manufacturer before you make an investment.  Call Global Syn Turf today.

Hiring a contractor can be hard, but Global Syn Turf made it easier.  You never know what you get with contractors in general.  They don't show up on time and try to take short cuts if you aren't watching.  Global Syn Turf has a nationwide network of artificial turf dealers.  Many of these synthetic grass dealers can refer you to certified artificial turf installers.  First and foremost, I have not seen artificial turf as realistic as Global Syn Turf's.  Here are some important questions you need to ask your artificial turf installer before hiring them.  First, how long will the job take to complete and what happens if it is not finished in time.  Second, do you offer a manufacturer's warranty of the artificial turf and what is the labor warranty.   Next, you will want to ask how much tear out and removal they will be doing and how many inches of compacted base.  Also, it is good to ask the contractor what kind of base they will be using.  Ask the contractor how they will lay the turf, where and how many seams the turf will have.  Ask how they do their seams, do they glue, nail or both.  Ask exactly where and how many nails they will be using.  I almost forgot, you have to ask for their contractor's license, liability insurance in case they do damage or get hurt on your property.  I would also ask your contractor what type of infill and how many pounds per sq. ft. of artificial turf infill they will install.  Lastly, ask if they will clean up and leave the property exactly the way it looked when they arrive.

These questions and answers that Global Syn Turf taught me were so valuable when I was interviewing and hiring an artificial turf contractor.  You too would be wise to call Global Syn Turf and find a dealer near you and don't hesitate interviewing several artificial contractors and use the questionnaire I learned to make the right choice.

I live here in Florida and I breed and raise German Shepard's and I house anywhere from 20-30 dogs at a time at my facility.  I had artificial turf in the past for the dogs to play on but the urine odor became to overwhelming and I had to pull it out.  The dogs have been using the concrete ever since and it has been hot and not an idea surface for the dogs to play on.  I have been looking for an new surface for the dogs but did not know what I was going to do.  I found Global Syn Turf online and learned about their Artificial Turf Pet Systems, drainage tiles, FreshCut Technology, Pet Deodorizer, ZeoFill infill and how to properly maintain a pet application.  After reading and learning on their website I finally called Global Syn Turf and spoke with one of their representatives.  The representative was super value added by further educating me on how to install and maintain an artificial turf installation for Pets.  They use a .5" drainage tile that creates an air pocket and allows for the flow of drainage for the pet urine to drain through the turf, through permeable drainage tile and off to the drains.  Next, they use a Pet Turf that has three times the permeability as all other turf for drainage.  Then they use a ZeoFill which is an odor absorbing infill.  This infill does not absorb the urine, it is antimicrobial and absorbs the ODOR.  Lastly, is the maintenance which is lots of rinsing and at the end of each day using the Pet Deodorizer.  You kennel the dogs at the end of the day and spry on the Pet Deodorizer without deleting.  You let it soak for an hour and then you rinse the turf very very well with a Power Sprayer if you can.  It has been 4 months now and the new Global Syn Turf System is working very well and does not smell.  The Global Syn Turf dealer here in Florida did an amazing job.  Thanks  to all!!!

I reached out to 7 different turf companies to get a quote for artificial turf and not one returned my call except for Global Syn Turf.  I feel bad for what the Covid 19 has done to our economy and businesses.  I not sure if all these turf companies are still in business or just taking a break during this pandemic but I feel bad for them.  Global Syn Turf was open and referred me their artificial turf distributor here in Florida who was working, giving estimates and installing turf.  I am glad one artificial turf company is still standing through these awful economic times.

After weeks of research I feel I found the largest and most reputable artificial turf manufacturer in the United States.  Global Syn Turf is a worldwide manufacturer of artificial grass with manufacturing plants all over the world.  The have 10 large distribution centers in the US alone with over 12 million sq. ft. of synthetic grass in inventory.  Their artificial turf products are the most realistic and revolutionary of its kind.  I recommend anyone looking for artificial turf contact Global Syn Turf and ask for samples and a list of the dealers nationwide.  

I wanted so surprise my parents with artificial turf  in their backyard while they were on vacation.  I found Global Syn Turf online and they referred me to an installer in my city.  I called them up, they showed me turf and gave me a reasonable bid for the installation.  We timed the installation while my parents were on vacation and the installers got it installed just in the nick of time.  You should have seen the look on my parents face when they came home and saw their new backyard.  Thanks Global Syn Turf.

I was researching online where to buy artificial turf and instructions on how to do it.  There is a lot of information online, but what I found is there isn't a whole lot you can trust.  Global Syn Turf sent me turf samples to look at for no cost.  They recommended I have one of their artificial turf dealers come out and give me a free estimate for installation and talk to them about how to do it.  I am glad I took their advise and had Jerry come out and give me a bid and talk to me about my yard, how much square feet I have and the general approach of how to do the installation.  I ended up buying the turf and accessories from Jerry and installing it myself.  Global Syn Turf's online instructions and Jerry's help really helped me through this project.  It wasn't easy but I got it done and save a lot of money.  5 Stars................

I had artificial turf installed in my yard a month ago for all of the good environmental impacts it has.  First and foremost is how much water you save with artificial grass.  The impact artificial turf has on saving water is huge.  Water is one of planet earth's most limited precious resources.  On average artificial turf saves about 70,000 gallons a year on an average residential lawn.  In no particular order, lawn mower and weed eater pollution is very harmful to the environment.  On average 1 hour of running a lawn mower is the same as 11 cards.  Another impact is the amount of gas and oil saved from no lawnmowers, weed eaters or the gardeners work truck they drive to you house.  Grass clippings is the single largest component of municipal solid waste at our cities dumps.  Toxic runoff is another reason to get synthetic grass.  The chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides, etc. you or your gardener put in your yard runs off of the lawn into the gutters and into our oceans and water supply.  

I never write reviews for companies, but I had to tell everyone how great Global Syn Turf and their East Florida artificial turf dealer are.  I wanted to install artificial turf in my backyard, but I have a kids tree house and a playground set.  I called Global Syn Turf and they taught me so much about what our options are.  They sell 4 different size pads that go under the artificial turf to make it softer and it gives the synthetic grass a critical fall height rating.  Global Syn Turf sent me some free samples and I referred me to their dealer in the area.  Tom is the owner of the dealership and was very helpful as well.  He really helped me design a marvelous backyard of S Blade 90 to put artificial turf under the tree house and playground set.  When you walk on the artificial turf with the pad under it you can't imagine how soft and sponge like it feels.  If anyone is getting artificial turf and you are concerned about it being to hard because of your children consider Global Syn Turf and the pads that can be installed under the turf.

I want to thank Global Syn Turf for referring their turf dealer in Tampa to me. George and the crew did the most amazing job installing a small 4 hole putt putt course in my backyard.  If I had a way of uploading pictures for this review I would have loved to show everyone how creative and original they were.  Thanks again!

I learned a lot about artificial grass in the last 6 months.  I have done extensive research on synthetic grass before I had my yard installed 2 months ago.  There is so much information on the internet about artificial turf companies and you have to be careful when navigating the truth.  The most helpful company with the most informative website for me was Global Syn Turf.  They give you all the information upfront with no smoke and mirrors or lies.   My artificial turf installation came with a 15 year manufacturer's product warranty and from what I found there it is hard to find the actual manufacturer of the artificial turf.  I learned the artificial grass has a 20 to 25 year life expectancy and a 15 year warranty.  I am glad I found Global Syn Turf and their national affiliate network.

I own three pre-schools here in Florida and decided to change out all the landscaping to artificial turf.  The area the kids play on was bark and sand and I wanted something less messy and that would not track into my building.   However I need the synthetic grass to have a cushion or something to create a Critical Fall Height.  Global Syn turf and their supplier here in Florida educated me on the Lawn Pad that creates a Critical Fall Height up to 10'.  This fall height rating is required here in Florida where playground equipment is installed.  I want to thank Global Syn Turf for their expertise and artificial turf applications for businesses like mine.

I was remodeling a building I own and wanted to make it LEED Certified in order to get property tax deductions.  I found Global syn Turf online and saw they had turf that was LEED Certified.  I installed S Blade  66 in the yard of my building and applied for my tax credit with the state of Florida.  I appreciate Global Syn Turf and their Florida Turf Distributor helping me with this project.
