EXTEND THE SEASON
Make the most of your event season at your upscale Austin locations with artificial grass landscaping. Our turf offers first-rate drainage, reliable footing, and minimal to no maintenance. Common grounds, outdoor venues, and wedding destinations can all be modernized by synthetic turf. Ideal for congested commercial areas or event-designed amenities, the positive environmental impacts of artificial grass and turf solutions translate into considerable cost savings over natural sod maintenance for real grass.
SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS
Shaw Industries, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., and Southwest Greens International work together to assemble a powerful team. Shaw is committed to designing the most appealing and sustainable flooring and synthetic grass surfaces across the globe, and Southwest Greens of Austin follows that example.
