Will the synthetic turf deteriorate over time? How durable is the turf?
Southwest Greens of the Valley's first installations are 20 years old or older and still embody the vibrant green color and texture of genuine grass. Our UV-resistant synthetic turf products look and work like new because they are crafted 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 includes fading.
Our artificial grass is engineered to be used and is highly recommended in high-traffic areas or for long-term sporting purposes
Most of the time, artificial grass is disposed directly into landfills, taking up precious space. Shaw offers an improved alternative through the Green Edge Recycling Program. Once synthetic turf is removed, we are able to repurpose it in several different ways including carpet backing, mats, rugs, sheet goods and more.
Sand filling from the artificial grass product is mechanically extracted 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 other products.
Shaw has recycled over 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 offers hundreds of fully certified Cradle to Cradle flooring products.
Our synthetic grass products necessitate 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 clean. For golf greens, regular care by your local Southwest Greens of the Valley representative every 12-18 months is recommended; we will ensure smooth putts with regular check-ups that include inspecting the areas around the cups for any adjustments and rolling the green.
Highly trained Southwest Greens of the Valley designers and installers are the only personnel certified to design and install our turf materials. DIY purchases are available with consultation but will void any installation warranty
There are a lot of reasons that synthetic grass is an excellent option for Phoenix pet owners! First, it's much easier to care for than natural grass — you won't have to worry about watering, saving you valuable time and money. Additionally, synthetic grass is more durable than real grass, so it can withstand lots of activity. Plus, synthetic grass is chemical-free and non-toxic, making it safe for your pets.
It’s very hard for fleas, ticks, and other pests to
live in the synthetic grass. While we can’t guarantee that your yard will be completely free of pests, you can count on
them to be mostly
eliminated. Because there’s no soil to
support their nesting, you must keep an eye out for any
buildup of leaves or debris that could
make a good breeding ground for ticks and
fleas. As long as you take care of your
artificial lawn regularly, there will be barely any
pests.
Yes, our synthetic grass looks and feels just like real grass, so your furry friends will be able to play on it like they would a live lawn. They can roll around on the grass to their heart's content!
The artificial turf we
offer is crafted to be
resilient and able to withstand wear and tear, so it can withstand digging without being harmed.
However, if your furry friends are tenacious diggers, we recommend taking measures to prevent them from digging through the artificial
grass.
Definitely! Cleaning fake grass is easy! You can simply hose it down with clean water to remove any debris. For more thorough cleaning, you can use soapy water and a broom to scrub the grass. Take a look at our detailed cleaning guide for more details.
Artificial grass is odorless, so if any smells do occur,
it’s usually caused by urine specifically. 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 company's pet-turf system is designed
to help eliminate odors, but there are steps you
can take to ensure no smells linger. We advise you use a solution
of equal parts H2O and white vinegar to spray Fido’s
favorite bathroom area. Let it dry to neutralize any unpleasant odor, if the SWG system was not used.
Our premium artificial grass is designed to be resilient and
long-lasting, with a lifespan of up to 20 years with
adequate 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
UV-protected synthetic turf
products look and function like new because they are
engineered to withstand heavy traffic, extreme weather conditions, and temperature changes for all-year use.
All setups come complete with a
1-year workmanship warranty and a
manufacturer's warranty that covers
fading.
The cost of synthetic grass for dogs can fluctuate depending on factors such as the dimensions of your yard and the variety of grass you choose. We offer a range of synthetic grass solutions to fit different price ranges and needs, so we advise reaching out to us for a customized quote.
While it's feasible to install pet turf by yourself, we recommend hiring a expert to ensure that the job is done correctly. Our skilled team can help you plan and install a pet-friendly synthetic grass solution that meets your particular preferences and taste.

in the landfill, which
uses precious space. However, Southwest Greens
offers a more eco-friendly
option through our recycling program. The Shaw
Green Edge Recycling Program takes back the
turf that has been removed, and we can
reuse it in several ways.

Livability is a benchmarking methodology
used by our team to
make sure our products meet exceptional
standards for material and environmental
health. Different products have various
categories of measure, but all must meet
premium expectations for consumer
safety. We determine durability, temperature, UV
resistance, and ecological impact to provide
