I have been looking for the right artificial turf for my backyard for 6 months now. I didn't want artificial turf that looked cheap, fake and shiny. I wanted the cutting edge newest and greatest turf on the market. I had at least 50 different samples sent to my house for me to review. I can guarantee you one thing most of the artificial turf samples looked fake, plastic and shiny. I found one company online called Global Syn Turf and their samples were very different. They seemed a higher quality, not so shiny and very realistic to real turf. I called the company and unlike most company's they answer the phone which made me think they were a legitimate larger company. See, most of the companies I called seemed like I was calling someone's cell phone and they were a small company or a contractor. Global Syn Turf told me they were a manufacturer and they made over 45 different artificial turfs. They had 10 distribution centers nationwide full of artificial turf However, they told me they only sold synthetic grass through their approved certified artificial turf distributor distribution network. They referred me tor their multiple dealers in the Texas market and I called everyone one of them. They all carried different varieties of the Global Syn Turf skus and I loved them all. They looked real, were delustered and not shiny. I found the dealer with the lowest turf and installation price and had the artificial turf installed in my yard last week. this is the greatest investment I have ever made in my yard and would refer it to anyone. 5 Stars!!!
