Shaw Grass

Shaw Grass is Shaw's artificial turf line, built across landscape, playground, and sport-specific rolls that differ in face weight, backing, and cleat and traffic rating rather than one generic turf. The rolls we carry are made in the USA, perforated for drainage, UV stable against fading, and backed by a 10-year manufacturer warranty. Shaw is one of the largest flooring manufacturers in North America, and FlooringInc is an authorized retailer selling Shaw Grass alongside our own turf pads and infill accessories, with the manufacturer's warranty intact on every roll.

What separates a turf roll built for a backyard from one built for a soccer field comes down to a handful of specs: face weight and pile height (how dense and tall the blades are), backing construction and perforation pattern (how water drains through), and whether the product is rated for cleats, pets, or foot traffic alone. Shaw Grass covers that range rather than a single niche, which is why we carry it across landscape, playground, and sport turf categories.

Landscape, Playground, and Sport Turf Are Not Interchangeable

A turf roll engineered for a putting green won't hold up under cleats, and a sport-turf roll built for shock absorption isn't the most economical choice for a small side yard. Shaw Grass differentiates its rolls by use case rather than selling one generic product, so matching the roll to the job matters more with turf than with most other flooring categories.

FlooringInc stocks Shaw Grass across three main use cases, plus the pads and infill that go underneath and inside a finished turf installation.

• Landscape turf, including Summer Rye Turf Rolls, a year-round green landscape roll that's perforated for drainage, UV stable against fading, heat- and frost-resistant, made in the USA, and backed by a 10-year warranty.
• Sport and field turf, built for cleats and daily athletic use. Elevate Turf Rolls and Elevate Premium Turf Rolls are cleat-safe, contain no lead or heavy metals, and are available with a foam-padded backing for indoor shock absorption or without foam for combined indoor/outdoor use. Sports Play Premium Turf Rolls are American made with a 10-year warranty and perforated drainage, suited to football, soccer, and field hockey when infilled at the recommended 3-4 pounds per square foot.
• Playground turf, led by Playsafe Premium Turf Rolls, a drainage-perforated alternative to rubber, asphalt, and rocks under play equipment, backed by a 10-year warranty and rated for a specific fall height when paired with the correct foam pad underneath.
• Turf pads and infill that complete the system: interlocking foam underlayment in Play Pad 8 (50mm thick, 6'-8' fall height rating) and Play Pad 5 (20mm thick, 2'-5' fall height rating), Flo Through drainage pad for rooftop installs, Multi Use Pad for putting greens and multi-use areas, and Hydrochill Cooling Sand, a UV-resistant infill that lowers turf surface temperature by 30-50 degrees when hydrated.

Fall height ratings on the playground line are a system spec, not a property of the turf roll alone. They're achieved by pairing the turf with the matched Playpad underneath, so the pad and roll should be ordered together for a certified installation.

FlooringInc is an authorized Shaw retailer, so every roll you order here is genuine Shaw Grass product covered by the manufacturer's own warranty, not a substitute or a gray-market import. Turf is a heavier, bulkier material than most flooring categories, and having an in-stock, US-based Tennessee warehouse means we can move full rolls and pallets of infill without the long lead times that come from ordering direct from overseas or drop-shipped sources.

Because color and pile texture are hard to judge from a product photo, we ship free samples so you can check blade color and density against your actual site before committing to a full roll. Our team can also help you match the right pad, whether that's the Play Pad your fall-height rating requires or the drainage pad a rooftop install needs, so the system performs the way it's rated to.
