FAQs

Pile height is how tall the turf fibers are. Shorter pile heights often feel cleaner and more structured, while taller pile heights feel more “lawn-like.” The right pile height affects realism, durability, and how the turf holds up under traffic. 

The best turf depends on how you use the space—pets, kids, entertaining, sports, putting greens, or rooftop decks all need different features like pile height, face weight, drainage rate, softness, and durability. Capitol Turf Pros helps match the turf style to your lifestyle and goals. 

Artificial turf and synthetic grass are often used interchangeably, but “turf” usually refers to installed systems (grass + base + drainage), while “synthetic grass” can refer to the material itself. At Capitol Turf Pros, we focus on full-system installs so the turf performs properly long-term. 

Many homeowners find that a backyard court improves outdoor usability and makes the property more enjoyable. It can also add a unique feature that stands out for future buyers who want an upgraded outdoor space.
