Will the synthetic grass deteriorate over time? How durable is the turf?
Southwest Greens Flagstaff's original installations are 20 years old or older and have maintained the vibrant green color and texture of natural grass. Our UV-resistant synthetic turf products look and perform like new because they are crafted to withstand heavy traffic, extreme weather conditions and temperature fluctuations for all-year use. All installations come complete alongside a one-year workmanship warranty and manufacturer's warranty that includes fading.
Our artificial turf is engineered to be used and is highly recommended in busy areas or for long-term sporting purposes
In most instances, artificial turf is disposed of directly into landfills, using up precious space. Shaw offers a better alternative through the Green Edge Recycling Program. Once synthetic turf is removed, we can repurpose it in several different ways including carpet backing, mats, rugs, sheet goods and more.
Sand filling from the artificial grass product is mechanically taken out from the turf, separated and then put through a washing process. The filling can then be used in future fields or used as materials for other products.
Shaw has recycled over half of a billion pounds of carpet since 2007 and opened two advanced recycling facilities — Evergreen (nylon 6 recycling) and Re2E (Reclaim to Energy). Today, Shaw offers hundreds of fully certified Cradle to Cradle flooring products.
Our artificial turf products necessitate very little maintenance. For most synthetic grass applications, using a leaf blower and water hose to clear lawn and pet debris is all you need to keep the surface clean. For golf greens, normal maintenance by your local Southwest Greens Flagstaff representative every 12-18 months is recommended; we will guarantee smooth putts with regular check-ups that include inspecting the areas around the cups for any adjustments and rolling the green.
Skilled Southwest Greens Flagstaff engineers and installers are the only personnel certified to design and install our artificial turf materials. DIY purchases are available with consultation but will void any installation warranty
There are numerous reasons why artificial grass is a great option for Flagstaff pet
owners! First and foremost, it's much easier to care
for than natural grass — you won't have to worry
about fertilizing, saving you time and
money.
Additionally, artificial grass is more
tough than real grass, so it
can withstand lots of activity. Plus,
synthetic grass is safe
and non-toxic, making it healthy for your
pets.
It's not easy for fleas, ticks, and other pests to
survive in the artificial
turf. While we can’t guarantee that your yard will be completely free of pests, you can be sure they will be mostly
eliminated. Because there’s no soil to
support their nesting, you should keep an eye out for any
accumulation of leaves or debris that can
make a good breeding environment for ticks and
fleas. As long as you clean your
artificial lawn regularly, there will be barely any
pests.
Indeed, our synthetic
grass has the appearance and texture of natural grass, so your pets
will be able to enjoy it just as much they would use a natural lawn. They can run on the grass to their heart's content!
Our artificial grass is crafted to be
durable and resistant to damage, so it can withstand digging without being harmed.
However, if your pets are relentless differs, we recommend taking measures to prevent them from digging in the
grass.
Yes, cleaning
artificial grass is
straightforward! You can
easily hose it down with clean
water to remove any twigs. For more
thorough cleaning, you can use soapy water and a broom to
wash the grass. Take a look at our detailed
cleaning guide for more details.
Fake grass is odorless, so if any smells do occur,
it’s usually caused by urine specifically. Many dogs prefer to use one area of the lawn to do their business,
so sometimes, you can get a little more of a build-up
of odor. Our pet-turf system is designed
to help eliminate odors, but there are steps you
can take to ensure there's no
unpleasant smell persist. We advise you use a solution
of equal parts water and white vinegar to spray Fido’s
favorite bathroom area. Let it dry to get rid of
any remaining smell, if our system was not used.
Our high-end synthetic turf is designed to be resilient and
enduring, with a lifespan of up to 20 years with
adequate maintenance. However, the
longevity of your grass may depend on factors such as the
amount of foot traffic it receives
and how well it's maintained. Our
sun-resistant synthetic turf
products look and function like new because they are
constructed to withstand high
traffic, harsh
weather, and temperature changes for all-year use.
All placements come complete with a
one-year labor warranty and a
producer's warranty that covers
discoloration.
The cost of synthetic grass
for pets can change depending on
factors such as the size of your yard and the
variety of grass you choose. We offer a variety
of synthetic grass solutions to fit different
budgets and needs, so we
suggest getting in
touch with us for a customized quote.
While it's doable to
put in pet turf on your own, we recommend employing a
professional to ensure that the job is done
accurately. Our skilled team can help you design and install a pet-friendly synthetic grass solution that meets your
individual requirements and
taste.

reclaimed back into a resin/polymer
state. Next, the material is then
molded or extruded into new floor coverings such as carpet backing, mats, rugs,
and resilient products,
decreasing the need for new raw
materials.

sand are carefully removed from the artificial grass,
cleansed, and recycled. It can be
