Will the artificial grass fade over time? How durable is the turf?

Generally, artificial grass is disposed directly into landfills, taking up precious space. Shaw offers an improved alternative through the Green Edge Recycling Program. Once artificial turf is removed, we can repurpose it in a wide range of ways including carpet backing, mats, rugs, sheet goods and more.
Sand infill from the artificial turf product is mechanically extracted from the turf, separated and then put through a cleansing process. The filling can then be used in future fields or used as materials for different products.
Shaw has recycled upwards of half of a billion pounds of carpet since 2007 and opened two state-of-the-art recycling facilities — Evergreen (nylon 6 recycling) and Re2E (Reclaim to Energy). Today, Shaw provides hundreds of fully certified Cradle to Cradle flooring products.
Our artificial grass products require very little maintenance. For most artificial grass applications, using a leaf blower and water hose to dispose of lawn and pet debris is all you need to keep the surface clear. For golf greens, routine maintenance by your local Southwest Greens of Austin representative every 12-18 months is recommended; we will guarantee smooth putts with regular check-ups that include rolling the green and inspecting the areas around the cups for any adjustments.
Skilled Southwest Greens of Austin designers and installers are the only personnel certified to design and install our artificial grass materials. DIY purchases are available with consultation but will void any installation warranty
There are a lot of reasons that artificial grass is an excellent option for Austin pet owners! First, it's much easier to care for than real grass — you won't have to worry about watering, saving you time and money. Additionally, artificial grass is more sturdy than natural grass, so it can withstand lots of activity. Plus, artificial grass is non-toxic and safe, making it safe for your pets.
It’s very hard for fleas, ticks, and other pests to
survive in the artificial
turf. While we can’t guarantee that your yard will be 100%
pest-free, you can rest assured they’ll be virtually
eliminated. Because there is no soil to
support their nesting, you should keep an eye out for any
buildup of leaves or debris that might
make a good breeding ground for fleas and ticks. As long as you maintain your
artificial lawn regularly, there will be hardly any
pests.
Indeed, our artificial grass looks and feels just like real grass, so your pets will be able to enjoy it just as much a live lawn. They can roll around on the grass to their heart's content!
The artificial turf we
offer is designed to be
long-lasting and able to withstand damage, so it is able to tolerate digging without becoming damaged.
However, if your beloved animals are persistent diggers, we recommend taking measures to prevent them from digging in the
grass.
Definitely! Cleaning artificial grass is straightforward! You can simply hose it down with clean water to remove any debris. For more thorough cleaning, you can use a mild detergent and a broom to clean the grass. Take a look at our complete cleaning guide for more details.
Artificial grass is odorless, so if any smells do occur,
it’s usually caused by pet urine. Many dogs prefer to use one area of the lawn to do their business,
so sometimes, you can get a little more of a accumulation
of odor. Our company's pet-turf system is designed
to help eliminate odors, but there are steps you
can take to ensure no smells remain. We advise you use a solution
of equal parts water and vinegar to spray Fido’s
favorite bathroom area. Let it dry to neutralize any unpleasant odor, if the our system was not used.
Our artificial grass is designed to be resilient and
durable, with a life
expectancy of up to 20 years with
proper maintenance. However, the
lifespan of your grass may depend on factors such as the
wear and tear
and how well it's maintained. Our
sun-protected synthetic turf
products look and function like new because they are
engineered to withstand frequent use, weather extremes, and changes in temperature for all-year use.
All installs come complete with a
one-year labor warranty and a
builder's warranty that covers
fading.
The cost of synthetic grass for pets can change depending on factors such as the dimensions of your yard and the kind of grass you choose. We offer a range of synthetic grass solutions to fit different financial plans and needs, so we advise reaching out to us for a customized quote.
