Is Your Turf Supply Secure? Why Choosing 100% Made in USA Turf Matters
In today’s global economy, the artificial turf industry is feeling the pressure of unpredictable trade policies. Tariff changes, shipping delays, and rising import costs have left many contractors, landscapers, and distributors scrambling to keep projects on schedule and within budget. For businesses that rely on imported turf or yarn, supply chain volatility can lead to sudden price hikes, unexpected delays, and frustrated customers.
At Smart Turf, we’ve heard these concerns repeatedly from industry professionals. Many companies in the market import turf components from overseas, often shipping yarn from Asia and then assembling turf products in the U.S. While this approach may appear cost-effective upfront, it leaves businesses vulnerable to shifting tariff regulations and international shipping issues.
But there’s a better solution—one that eliminates these risks entirely.
The Hidden Costs of Importing Artificial Turf
When your turf supply depends on overseas shipments, you’re at the mercy of international trade policies and global shipping logistics. A single tariff increase can drive up your costs overnight. Port delays or shipping backlogs can stall projects for weeks, damaging client relationships and profitability.
Common issues with imported turf supply include:
-
Sudden tariff hikes that increase material costs by 10%, 20%, or even more.
-
Extended shipping times due to port congestion, customs delays, or geopolitical events.
-
Unreliable pricing, as currency fluctuations and trade disputes affect costs.
-
Lower quality control, since many overseas manufacturers cut corners to reduce production costs.
For contractors, landscapers, and distributors, these challenges translate into shrinking profit margins, frustrated clients, and missed deadlines.
Why Smart Turf is Different
Unlike other companies that import yarn and finish turf in the U.S., Smart Turf is one of the only turf manufacturers that is truly 100% Made in the USA. We produce our own yarn right here in the U.S., using premium resin sourced from Texas. This vertical integration allows us to maintain full control over the quality, durability, and consistency of every turf product we create.
When you choose Smart Turf, you get:
1. A Reliable, Tariff-Proof Supply Chain
Because we manufacture turf domestically, our products are not subject to international tariffs. That means no surprise costs and no delays caused by overseas shipping issues.
2. Superior Quality and Performance
Our in-house yarn production ensures that every blade of turf meets strict quality standards. Using premium U.S.-sourced resin, we create turf that is more durable, UV-stable, and built to withstand heavy foot traffic and harsh weather conditions.

Without international shipping dependencies, Smart Turf can deliver products quickly and efficiently. Contractors and distributors benefit from shorter lead times and greater flexibility in project planning.
4. Support for American Jobs and Manufacturing
By producing turf entirely in the U.S., we support domestic manufacturing and job creation—while also reducing the environmental impact of international shipping.

Whether you’re installing turf for a residential lawn, a sports field, or a commercial property, you can count on Smart Turf to deliver the materials you need—on time and at the price you expect.
