Flat hose durability and abrasion test on pavement, gravel, and turf
January 20, 2026
In the U.S. irrigation market, there has always been a frustrating trade-off. You could buy a "heavy-duty" hose that lasts, but weighs a ton, or a lightweight hose that is easy to carry but bursts after a month's use.
At Yunigo, we believe you shouldn't have to choose between durability and maneuverability.
We put our Yunigo Serenity, through a rigorous stress test on the aforementioned three most common American landscaping surfaces. Our goal? To prove that thanks to our HD Tech and NTS Plus systems, a hose can be incredibly abrasion resistant while remaining surprisingly lightweight.
Here is how the Yunigo Serenity performed in the field.
1. The Pavement Test: Concrete & Asphalt Abrasion
The Challenge: The American driveway is the graveyard of garden hoses. Whether it's brushed concrete or rough asphalt, these surfaces act like sandpaper. Dragging a standard hose creates friction that wears down the outer layer, eventually exposing the reinforcement mesh and leading to bursts.
The Yunigo Advantage: HD Tech. We dragged the Yunigo Serenity repeatedly across rough concrete.
- The Technology: Yunigo Serenity features our proprietary HD Tech (High Density Technology) coating. This isn't just a plastic outer layer; it's a high-performance shield designed to withstand mechanical abrasion.
- The Result: While competitors showed signs of wall thinning and scuffing, the Serenity’s HD Tech layer acted like a gliding armor. It protected the structural integrity of the hose, resisting wear while keeping the overall weight low enough for anyone to handle the hose comfortably.


2. The Gravel gauntlet: Puncture & pressure resistance
The Challenge: Crushed gravel is staples in modern sustainable landscaping and driveways. The sharp edges of granite can pierce soft vinyl hoses or crush weak structures when stepped on.


The Yunigo Serenity advantage: 3-Layer robust construction We subjected Yunigo Serenity to the "drag test" on gravel.
- The Technology: Beneath the surface, Yunigo Serenity is engineered with a structure of 3 robust layers. These high-quality materials work together to provide superior wall thickness and pressure resistance without the bulk of traditional rubber.
- The Result: The hose glided over rocks without tearing. The multi-layer construction absorbed the impact of foot traffic, proving that "lightweight" does not mean "fragile."
3. The Turf test: maneuverability & kinking
The Challenge: Moving around a large lawn involves navigating obstacles — trees, birdbaths, and flower beds. The biggest annoyance for any gardener is "coil memory," that's when the hose tries to curl back into its original shape, creating knots and cutting off water flow.


The Yunigo Advantage: NTS Plus Mesh We pulled the hose through grass and around tight landscape corners.
- The Technology: This is where the magic happens. Yunigo Serenity utilizes NTS Plus (No Torsion System). This advanced knitting pattern nutrilizes the torque that causes twisting.
- The Result: Zero knots. Zero tangles. The NTS Plus mesh breaks the "coil memory," allowing the hose to lie flexible on the grass. It offers fluid maneuverability, ensuring that the water pressure remains constant even when you are 50 feet away from the spigot.
The Verdict: Engineering Meets Ergonomics
The tests confirm what we designed the Yunigo Serenity to be: an exception in the market.
By combining the external protection of HD Tech, the structural safety of 3 distinct layers, and the handling superiority of NTS Plus, we have created a tool that respects the user. It is rugged enough for a professional environment, but light enough for daily residential use.
Don't fight with your equipment. Upgrade to a hose that works with you.
