Stitch rate refers to the number of stitches per square metre – the more stitches, the heavier the density, the higher the quality of the grass.

Artificial grass is made from yarns of plastic and latex. These are extremely hard wearing synthetic fibres and the greater the number of yarns, the denser and thicker the grass is. 

Thick, dense grass creates the most comfortable and luxurious feel underfoot. Low-density/stitch rate grass is a great budget option and is best in smaller areas that don’t have much foot traffic. While heavy, thick grass is the best option for high-traffic areas, as it will last the longest.
