Architects and Homeowners Turn to Synthetic Turf Alternative

Shieldscape hybrid turf is fast becoming the preferred choice over full synthetic turf with all of the robust traffic handling of fake grass without the common pitfalls of synthetic turf that include heat, smell and matting.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (PRWEB) May 10, 2023

ShieldScape is a hybrid grass product that protects and stabilizes natural grass by reinforcing the living grass root system. ShieldScape allows living grass to grow up through the simulated turf surface. This growth combined with the engineered, shielding faux grass blades creates a formidable surface, providing luxurious looking and feeling real grass that lasts in high traffic, hard-wear, and sloping common areas.

“Shieldscape started as a need where we, as biophilic design specialists, personally wanted a formidable yet natural grass surface for high traffic areas, pets, livestock and people. As biophilic design experts we sought out the best manufacturing partner in the US to help bring this amazing product to our existing customer base.” – Jackie Wiener, Principal UpScapers

At it’s simplest, Shieldscape is bionic landscape engineered to help real grass stand up to real life.

Shieldscape provides a way to elevate residential landscape design with landscape cover engineered with finesse. Shieldscape is designed for both performance and people. Durable enough to walk and sit on without worrying about discomfort, injury or damaging the turf. You can safely walk, jump play on ShieldScape without compromising on soil protection.
