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.
