Synthetic golf turfs require a high level of expertise for design and installation. Since our beginnings in the golf industry in 1996, we have truly refined the art of golf construction. Breaks, bunkers, undulations and turf blending name just a few of the design elements crucial for natural looking and rolling golf greens. With so many additional architectural features to consider over a more basic artificial turf, golf green construction cost averages from $20 to $25 per square foot, more or less depending on region, accessibility and features.
The top quality of the materials we use is an extremely important factor in achieving a top-flight golf green. Our superior products deliver the lush, natural green look of natural grass as well as the soft feel and true performance characteristics without the use of nylon and other popular materials used in many artificial golf greens.
Southwest Greens of Austin is the recognized leader in the artificial grass industry. Our commitment to research and development makes it possible for us to provide the highest quality and most cutting-edge materials on the market today.

All Southwest Greens of Austin installers are required to have national certifications, guaranteeing that products and expert workmanship will always be of the highest quality.
Will the artificial grass fade over time? How durable is the turf?
Southwest Greens of Austin's original installations are 20 years old or older and still embody the vibrant green color and texture of genuine grass. Our UV-resistant artificial turf products look and perform like new because they are designed to withstand heavy traffic, extreme weather conditions and temperature fluctuations for year-round use. All installations come complete alongside a one-year workmanship warranty and manufacturer's warranty that covers fading.
Our artificial turf is developed to be used and is highly recommended in high-traffic areas or for long-term sporting purposes
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 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.
While it's doable to
put in pet turf on your own, we recommend seeking the services of a
professional to ensure that the job is done
properly. Our skilled team can help you design and set up a pet-friendly synthetic grass solution that meets your
specific needs and
preferences.

Yes, Southwest Greens' backyard
putting greens are built to withstand
all weather conditions, making them ideal
for a wide range of climates. Our putting green
turf is UV resistant and built to stand up
to prolonged exposure to sunlight, rain, and other
environmental elements. You do not have to
cover it with a tarp during the Austin winter months
(snow), even if you cover it, a
professional maintenance would be encouraged
after the last snow has melted, around the first months of
spring.
Maintaining your backyard
putting green is easy and requires minimal effort. Regular brushing to prevent matting to
the fringe, occasional rinsing with water to clear debris, and keeping the surface free from leaves and other
organic matter are typically all that
is needed to keep your putting green in top
condition. See this guide here.

customization options to tailor your backyard
putting green to your preferences and available

the wear and tear of heavy use, including
playful pets. Plus, unlike real grass, our turf

harmful pesticides or fertilizers, making it safe for

putting greens aren’t recommended for pets, you can install pet turf in your yard
for them, too.
Our backyard
putting greens are built to last for many years with proper care and maintenance. With regular upkeep and occasional grooming, you can expect

Yes. Our backyard
putting greens are made to react
like a natural bent grass or bermuda green. Whether
you are chipping from 2 yards to 200 yards, our putting greens
will hold a shot as well as any traditional green. Because
of the B.A.R. bounce, aim, and roll, your shot will react with the same spin
and true roll of any natural surface. Ask us how we
set the B.A.R. with our playability tools.
We appreciate that space can
be a concern for many
Austin homeowners. Southwest Greens’ putting surfaces are crafted
to fit even in tight
spaces. With our pro installation and design services, you can have
the convenience of practicing your golf game anytime, right in your backyard. Most backyard putting
greens are 300 sq ft – 800 sq ft,
which provide great space for puttingand even short “chip shots”.
While it's not impossible to build your own backyard
putting green, the process presents some significant difficulties. Artificial
putting greens, though easier to maintain, need
specialized turf products and infill specially designed for golf greens, along with a large amount of equipment and
expertise for proper installation.
How much a Southwest Greens golf green costs depends on various factors,
like the size, complexity of
