In most cases, artificial turf is dumped directly into landfills, using up precious space. Shaw offers a desirable alternative through the Green Edge Recycling Program. Once synthetic grass is removed, we are prepared to repurpose it in several different ways including rugs, mats, sheet goods, carpet backing 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 infill can then be used in future fields or used as materials for new 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 synthetic grass products necessitate very little care. For most synthetic grass applications, using a leaf blower and water hose to remove lawn and pet debris is all you need to keep the surface clear. For golf greens, normal upkeep by your local Southwest Greens of New Mexico representative every 12-18 months is recommended; we will ensure smooth putts with routine check-ups that include inspecting the areas around the cups for any adjustments and rolling the green.
Professional Southwest Greens of New Mexico designers and installers are the only personnel authorized to design and install our turf materials. DIY purchases are available with consultation but will void any installation warranty
There are quite a few reasons why artificial grass is a great option for Albuquerque pet owners! First, it's much easier to care for than real grass — you won't have to worry about watering, saving you precious time and hard-earned money. Additionally, synthetic grass is more tough than real grass, so it can withstand lots of activity. Plus, artificial grass is safe and chemical-free, making it safe for your pets.
It’s very hard for fleas, ticks, and other pests to
survive in the synthetic turf. While we can’t guarantee that your yard will be entirely pest-free, you can rest assured they’ll be virtually
eliminated. Because there is no soil to
support their nesting, you have to keep an eye out for any
collection of leaves or debris that could
make a good breeding environment for fleas and ticks. As long as you keep up with your
artificial lawn regularly, there will be hardly any
pests.
Absolutely, our synthetic grass has the appearance and texture of natural grass, so your furry friends will be able to enjoy it just as much a regular grass lawn. They can run on the grass to their heart's content!
Our synthetic
grass is designed to be
durable and resistant to wear and tear, so it can withstand digging without being harmed.
However, if your four-legged family
members are tenacious diggers, we recommend taking measures to deter them from digging in the
grass.
Yes, cleaning fake grass is easy! You can simply spray it down with water to remove any twigs. For more thorough cleaning, you can use a specialized artificial grass cleaner and a broom to wash the grass. Take a look at our complete cleaning guide for more information.
Synthetic
turf 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 concentration
of odor. Our company's pet-turf system is designed
to help neutralize odors, but there are steps you
can take to ensure there are no lingering odors linger. We advise you use a solution
of equal parts H2O and vinegar to spray Fido’s
favorite bathroom area. Let it dry to eliminate any lingering odor, if the SWG system was not used.
Our
top-quality artificial grass is designed to be resilient and
long-lasting, 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
designed to withstand heavy traffic, extreme weather conditions, and temperature changes for all-year use.
All installs come complete with a
1-year workmanship warranty and a
builder's warranty that covers
fading.
The cost of synthetic grass for pets can vary depending on factors such as the size of your yard and the kind of grass you choose. We offer a range of artificial grass solutions to fit different budgets and needs, so we suggest getting in touch with us for a customized quote.
