Scroll. We'll show you exactly what you're buying — from surface down through the gravel base.
Polyethylene yarn. Cheap turf runs ~6,000 Detx — ours starts at 9,000 and tops out at 14,000 on the sports SKU. Thicker blade, longer life.
Anti-bacterial. Drains 30L per minute per square metre. Optional on residential — required on dog runs, recommended on south-facing yards.
PP + fiberglass NET mesh + either White SBR (residential, flagship) or SPU (sports, outdoor). Engineered for the job — not a quality hierarchy. Cheap turf skips the mesh entirely.
3″ of crushed stone, 1″ of stone dust. Compacted in lifts. Drains in a thunderstorm. Lasts 25 years.
SBR and SPU aren't a tier ladder. They're engineered for different jobs. Our flagship and premium residential SKUs run a specialty stadium-grade White SBR — the highest-cost backing formulation we sell. Our sports and landscape SKUs run SPU because drainage and cold-flex matter more on those surfaces. Pick the SKU for the job, not the backing.
Specialty stadium-grade formulation. Highest wholesale cost in our line. On Hybrid-A and Normal-D, where blade hold and showcase appearance lead.
Polyurethane backing with mesh. Higher drainage rate, stays flexible to −40°C. On Football-G and Landscape-I, where freeze-thaw and play-traffic dictate.
The reinforcement layer most marketplace turf skips. Won't tear at the seam. Won't pull tufts. The detail that decides whether a lawn lasts 3 years or 25.
Marketplace turf and ours look similar in the listing photo. They are not the same product. Here are the four numbers that actually separate them — pulled from our supplier sheet vs. typical bottom-tier import.
A real lawn needs mowing, watering, fertilizing, aerating, reseeding, and edging — every season, for as long as you own the house. Boréal needs a leaf blower in October.
Roughly two full work-weeks back. Compounding for every year you own the lawn.
Mower fuel + water + fertilizer + reseed kits + the occasional landscaper. A typical 800 sqft front yard.
Three inputs. We pick the two grasses that best fit, ranked by durability, pet-friendliness, and putting suitability. Drag the tiles to inspect from another angle.
A flagship hybrid. A premium residential lawn. A non-infill sports turf. A cold-climate landscape SKU. Each engineered for a specific job — not a quality ladder. Order a free 4-swatch sample pack and feel them in your hand.
The same Normal-D the installer wanted $14 a foot for. We laid it ourselves over a long weekend.
We'll show you a real number. No email. No "schedule a consultation." No bait and switch on shipping.
Most homeowners install Boréal themselves. The base prep is the hard part — the turf is just rolled, cut, and seamed. We ship a 12-page guide with every order.
Strip sod and topsoil. Set a level base — gentle slope away from the house.
3″ of crushed limestone, 1″ of stone dust. Compact in lifts. The base is the install.
Same direction on every panel. Let it relax 24 hours before seaming.
Glue seams, perimeter spike every 6″, broom against the grain. Done.
It drains in a thunderstorm. The dog can't tell.
