Synthetic golf greens call for a high level of mastery for design and installation. Since our beginnings in the golf industry in 1996, we have truly perfected the art of golf construction. Breaks, bunkers, undulations and turf blending name just a few of the design elements important for authentic looking and rolling golf greens. With so many additional architectural features to think about over a more basic synthetic, golf green construction cost averages from $20 to $25 per square foot, more or less calculated considering region, accessibility and features.
The high quality of the materials we use is a very important factor in delivering a top-of-the-line golf green. Our quality products offer the lush, natural green look of genuine grass as well as the gentle feel and true performance characteristics lacking in nylon and other popular materials used in many synthetic golf greens.
Southwest Greens is the acknowledged leader in the artificial grass industry. Our devotion to research and development enables us to offer the highest quality and most cutting-edge materials on the market today. With an assortment of turf products made to replicate the look and feel of natural grass, our custom designs reflect the particular needs, climates and conditions of any area.

Will the synthetic turf decline over time? How tough is the turf?
Southwest Greens's earliest installations are 20 years old or older and have maintained the rich green color and texture of genuine grass. Our UV-resistant synthetic turf products look and function like new because they are engineered to withstand heavy traffic, extreme weather conditions and temperature fluctuations for all-year use. All installations come complete with a one-year workmanship warranty and manufacturer's warranty that covers fading.
Our synthetic grass is developed to be used and is highly recommended in busy areas or for long-term sporting purposes
Highly trained Southwest Greens designers and installers are the only personnel authorized to design and install our synthetic grass materials. DIY purchases are available with consultation but will void any installation warranty
Usually, artificial grass is disposed of 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 prepared to repurpose it in a variety of ways including carpet backing, mats, rugs, sheet goods and more.
Sand filling from the synthetic grass product is mechanically extracted from the turf, separated and then put through a cleansing process. The infill 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 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 grass products need very little care. For most artificial grass applications, using a leaf blower and water hose to clear lawn and pet debris is enough to keep the surface clean. For golf greens, normal upkeep by your local Southwest Greens representative every 12-18 months is recommended; we will guarantee smooth putts with regular check-ups that include inspecting the areas around the cups for any adjustments and rolling the green.
There are a lot
of reasons that artificial grass is an ideal option for pet
owners! First and foremost, it's much easier to maintain than natural grass — you won't have to worry
about trimming, saving you precious time and hard-earned money.
Additionally, artificial grass is more
sturdy than real grass, so it
can withstand heavy foot traffic. Plus,
artificial grass is non-toxic
and safe, making it healthy for your
pets.
It is very
difficult 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 count on
them to be virtually
eliminated. Because there is no soil to
support their nesting, you must keep an eye out for any
accumulation of leaves or debris that can
make a good breeding ground for fleas and ticks. As long as you keep up with your
artificial lawn regularly, there will be hardly any
pests.
Yes, our artificial grass has the appearance and texture of live grass, so your furry friends
will be able to play on it like
they would a regular grass lawn. They can run on the grass to their heart's content!
The artificial turf we
offer is designed to be
long-lasting and resistant to wear and tear, so it is able to tolerate digging without getting ruined.
However, if your pets are relentless differs, we recommend taking measures to discourage
them from digging through the artificial
grass.
Absolutely! Cleaning
artificial grass is
simple! You can
simply spray it down with clean
water to remove any debris. For more
thorough cleaning, you can use soapy water and a broom to
clean 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 animal
waste. 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 there's no
unpleasant smell remain. We advise you use a solution
of equal parts H2O and vinegar to spray Fido’s
favorite bathroom area. Let it dry to neutralize any unpleasant odor, if the Southwest
Green system was not used.
Our premium artificial turf is designed to be sturdy 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
foot traffic
and how well it's maintained. Our
UV-resistant synthetic turf
products look and function like new because they are
designed to withstand heavy traffic, extreme weather conditions, and changes in temperature for all-year use.
All placements come complete with a
1-year installation warranty and a
producer's warranty that covers
fading and discoloration.
The cost of synthetic grass
for dogs can vary depending on
factors such as the dimensions of your yard and the
variety of grass you choose. We offer a variety
of artificial grass solutions to fit different
budgets and needs, so we
advise getting in
touch with us for a customized quote.
While it's feasible to
lay down pet turf yourself, we recommend seeking the services of a
specialist to ensure that the job is done
properly. Our professional
team can help you design and install a pet-friendly synthetic grass solution that meets your
specific needs and
liking.

turf installations constructed to reproduce
the look and feel of live grass greens found on golf courses. They provide the ease

in your local landfil, wasting valuable space. However, Southwest Greens
offers a more environmentally conscious
choice with our recycling program. The Shaw
Green Edge Recycling Program takes back the
turf once it’s been removed, and we can
repurpose it in several ways.

to creating stunning and
eco-friendly flooring solutions
and synthetic turf surfaces. It drives
all our actions, promoting
exemplary ethical standards and the conservation
of natural resources, as well as the recycling of raw
materials and the manufacturing of products that can

like our Re2E (Reclaim to Energy) plant in Dalton, GA.
Here, we make use of reclaimed
ground surfaces, including artificial turf fibers, to make energy
for our manufacturing locations.
Or
Course! Through advanced
processes, the entire synthetic grass system can be
transformed back into their polymer
state. This material is then
molded or extruded into new floor coverings like carpet backing, mats, rugs,
and resilient products,
decreasing the need for new
materials.
The sand and rubber infill are thoroughly extracted from the artificial grass,
washed, and repurposed. It can be
up-cycled in future turf installations or as
materials for other items,
limiting waste.
Livability is a benchmarking system
used by our team to
guarantee our products meet high
standards for environmental and material
health. Different products have differing
classifications of measure, but all must meet
high-quality expectations for customer
safety. We assess durability, temperature, UV
resistance, and ecological impact to offer
