Will the artificial turf decline over time? How long-lasting is the turf?
Southwest Greens of Michigan's first installations are 20 years old or older and still embody the vivid green color and texture of natural grass. Our UV-resistant artificial grass products look and work 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 grass is designed to be used and is highly recommended in busy areas or for long-term sporting purposes
Usually, artificial grass is disposed directly into landfills, using up precious space. Shaw offers a better alternative through the Green Edge Recycling Program. Once artificial grass is removed, we are able to repurpose it in several different ways including carpet backing, mats, rugs, sheet goods and more.
Sand infill from the artificial grass product is mechanically removed 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 advanced recycling facilities — Evergreen (nylon 6 recycling) and Re2E (Reclaim to Energy). Today, Shaw provides hundreds of fully certified Cradle to Cradle flooring products.
Our synthetic turf products need very little upkeep. For most artificial grass applications, using a leaf blower and water hose to dispose of lawn and pet debris is sufficient to keep the surface clean. For golf greens, routine care by your local Southwest Greens of Michigan 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.
Highly trained Southwest Greens of Michigan engineers and installers are the only personnel qualified to design and install our turf materials. DIY purchases are available with consultation but will void any installation warranty
There are many reasons that synthetic grass is an excellent option for Detroit and all of Michigan pet owners! First and foremost, it's much easier to keep up than natural grass — you won't have to worry about trimming, saving you valuable time and money. Additionally, artificial grass is more durable than natural grass, so it can withstand lots of activity. Plus, synthetic grass is non-toxic and chemical-free, making it healthy for your pets.
It's not easy for fleas, ticks, and other pests to
live in the artificial grass. While we can’t guarantee that your yard will be entirely pest-free, you can rest assured they’ll be mostly
eliminated. Because there is no soil to
support their nesting, you should keep an eye out for any
collection 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 hardly any
pests.
Indeed, our artificial turf has the appearance and texture of organic grass, so your furry friends will be able to play on it like they would they would use a natural lawn. They can roll around on the grass to their heart's content!
Our synthetic
grass is made to be
long-lasting and resistant to wear and tear, so it can withstand digging without sustaining damage.
However, if your pets are chronic differs, we recommend taking measures to discourage
them from digging through the artificial
grass.
Definitely! Cleaning synthetic turf is straightforward! You can hassle-free hose it down with water to remove any leaves. For more thorough cleaning, you can use soapy water and a soft-bristled brush to scrub the grass. Take a look at our comprehensive cleaning guide for more tips.
Artificial grass is odorless, so if any smells do occur,
it’s usually caused by dog 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 build-up
of odor. Southwest Green's pet-turf system is designed
to help neutralize odors, but there are steps you
can take to ensure no smells 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 eliminate any lingering odor, if the our system was not used.
Our high-end artificial grass is designed to be durable and
lasting, 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
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
designed to withstand lots of traffic, inclement weather, and temperature
fluctuations for all-year use.
All installs come complete with a
one-year installation warranty and a
maker's warranty that covers
discoloration.
The cost of artificial grass for dogs can vary depending on factors such as the size of your yard and the type of grass you choose. We offer a range of synthetic grass solutions to fit different financial plans and needs, so we recommend getting in touch with us for a customized quote.
