What is artificial turf made of, and is it safe for families and pets?
Artificial turf is typically made from durable synthetic fibers like polyethylene, polypropylene, or nylon. These materials are UV-stabilized to prevent fading and engineered to withstand years of sun exposure.
High-quality turf products:
- Are non-toxic and lead-free
- Include perforated backing for drainage
- Use safe infill materials designed for residential use
When professionally installed, modern artificial turf is completely safe for families and pets. Many products are specifically designed to be pet-friendly, antimicrobial, and easy to sanitize.
