Turf blending, undulations, breaks and bunkers name just a few of the design elements important for natural looking and rolling golf greens.

In most cases, artificial grass is dumped directly into landfills, using up precious space. Shaw offers an improved alternative through the Green Edge Recycling Program. Once synthetic grass is removed, we can repurpose it in a wide range of ways including sheet goods, rugs, carpet backing, mats and more.
Sand infill from the synthetic turf product is mechanically removed from the turf, separated and then put through a cleaning process. The filling can then be used in future fields or used as materials for different products.
Shaw has recycled more than half of a billion pounds of carpet since 2007 and opened two cutting-edge recycling facilities — Evergreen (nylon 6 recycling) and Re2E (Reclaim to Energy). Today, Shaw supplies hundreds of fully certified Cradle to Cradle flooring products.
Our synthetic turf products necessitate very little upkeep. For most artificial grass applications, using a leaf blower and water hose to remove lawn and pet debris is enough to keep the surface clean. For golf greens, routine maintenance by your local Southwest Greens of Southern California representative every 12-18 months is recommended; we will ensure smooth putts with consistent check-ups that include rolling the green and inspecting the areas around the cups for any adjustments.

There are quite a few reasons that artificial grass is an excellent option for Los Angeles and Southern California pet owners! First and foremost, it's much easier to maintain than natural grass — you won't have to worry about watering, saving you time and money. Additionally, synthetic grass is more resilient than natural grass, so it can withstand pets playing. Plus, artificial grass is chemical-free and non-toxic, making it healthy 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 100%
pest-free, you can be sure they will be mostly
eliminated. Because there isn’t any soil to
support their nesting, you must keep an eye out for any
collection of leaves or debris that might
make a good breeding environment for fleas and ticks. As long as you clean your
artificial lawn regularly, there will be very few
pests.
Yes, our artificial grass looks and feels just like natural grass, so your pets will be able to enjoy it just as much a live lawn. They can romp around on the grass to their heart's content!
The artificial turf we
offer is made to be
resilient and able to withstand wear and tear, so it is capable
of handling digging without becoming damaged.
However, if your beloved animals are persistent diggers, we recommend taking measures to prevent them from digging through the artificial
grass.
Definitely! Cleaning artificial grass is simple! You can simply hose it down with water to remove any dirt. For more thorough cleaning, you can use a specialized artificial grass cleaner and a brush to wash the grass. Take a look at our detailed cleaning guide for more information.
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 build-up
of odor. Our pet-turf system is designed
to help get rid of 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 high-end artificial turf is designed to be durable and
lasting, with a life
expectancy of up to twenty years with
adequate maintenance. However, the
longevity of your grass may depend on factors such as the
foot traffic
and how well it's maintained. Our
sun-protected synthetic turf
products look and function like new because they are
engineered to withstand lots of traffic, inclement weather, and temperature changes for all-year use.
All placements come complete with a
1-year installation warranty and a
maker's warranty that covers
fading and discoloration.
The cost of synthetic grass for dogs can change depending on factors such as the dimensions of your yard and the variety of grass you choose. We offer a range of artificial grass solutions to fit different price ranges and needs, so we recommend contacting us for a customized quote.
