The four questions
- 1. Is a ball involved? Putting green → EverPutt 81 (or EverPutt 65 for the fastest roll), full stop. Batting cage or sports surface → EverSport 105. Everything else, continue.
- 2. Who uses it hardest? Dogs daily → EverPet 87, the purpose-built FlowThru pet turf. Constant heavy traffic → EverPlay line (70 for most, 100–130 for cushion and premium feel).
- 3. Is up-close realism the deciding factor? Showpiece front yards and design-review submittals → Legacy line (92 through 127); for the realism-plus-drainage overlap, EverFlow 88 puts a lawn-look pile on a 1,000+ in/hr FlowThru backing.
- 4. Otherwise: the Evergreen line. Pick by budget and plushness: 77 value, 82 and 87 the defaults, 102 plush, 105 maximum lushness.
The two-line overlaps
Real households straddle categories: a showpiece yard with a big dog, a family lawn that hosts a putting corner. The tie-breakers: drainage need pushes toward EverPet 87 or EverFlow 88; realism budget pushes Legacy; pure durability per dollar pushes EverPlay; and fringe around any green comes from whichever landscape line matches the main lawn.
Then stop deciding on screens
The sorter narrows the lineup to two or three. Samples finish the job: free, shipped anywhere, and decisive in thirty seconds of touching. Order the finalists, walk them to the actual yard, and let the light you’ll live with cast the vote.
