Will the artificial turf decline over time? How tough is the turf?
Southwest Greens of Jacksonville's first installations are 20 years old or older and have maintained the rich green color and texture of real grass.

All installations come complete including a one-year workmanship warranty and manufacturer's warranty that includes fading.
Our synthetic grass is designed to be used and is highly recommended in busy areas or for long-term sporting purposes
Usually, artificial grass is disposed of directly into landfills, taking up precious space. Shaw offers a desirable alternative through the Green Edge Recycling Program. Once synthetic grass is removed, we are able to repurpose it in a wide range of ways including carpet backing, mats, rugs, sheet goods and more.
Sand filling from the synthetic turf product is mechanically removed from the turf, separated and then put through a cleaning 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 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 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 clear. For golf greens, normal care by your local Southwest Greens of Jacksonville 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 Jacksonville designers and installers are the only personnel authorized to design and install our artificial grass materials. DIY purchases are available with consultation but will void any installation warranty
There are numerous reasons that artificial grass is a perfect option for Jacksonville pet
owners! First, it's much easier to maintain than real 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 pets playing. Plus,
synthetic grass is chemical-free
and chemical-free, making it healthy for your
pets.
It’s very hard for fleas, ticks, and other pests to
live in the artificial grass. While we can’t guarantee that your yard will be completely free of pests, you can be sure they will be virtually
eliminated. Because there is no soil to
support their nesting, you must 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 maintain your
artificial lawn regularly, there will be hardly any
pests.
Our synthetic
grass is designed to be
resilient and able to withstand wear and tear, so it can withstand digging without sustaining damage.
However, if your pets are tenacious diggers, we recommend taking measures to prevent them from digging in the
grass.
Yes, our artificial turf has the appearance and texture of natural grass, so your furry friends
will be able to enjoy it just as much as a regular grass lawn. They can play on the grass to their heart's content!
Definitely! Cleaning
artificial grass is
straightforward! You can
simply hose it down with clean
water to remove any twigs. For more
thorough cleaning, you can use a specialized
artificial grass cleaner and a broom to
clean the grass. Take a look at our complete
cleaning guide for more details.
Synthetic
turf 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. Southwest Green's pet-turf system is designed
to help get rid of odors, but there are steps you
can take to ensure there are no lingering odors. We advise you use a solution
of equal parts water and vinegar to spray Fido’s
favorite bathroom area. Let it dry to get rid of
any remaining smell, if the Southwest
Green system was not used.
Our premium artificial grass is designed to be long-lasting and
lasting, with a life
expectancy of up to twenty years with
proper maintenance. However, the
longevity of your grass may depend on factors such as the
wear and tear
and how well it's maintained. Our
sun-resistant 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 installations come complete with a
one-year installation warranty and a
builder's warranty that covers
discoloration.

for pets can change depending on
factors such as the dimensions of your yard and the
kind of grass you choose. We offer a range

budgets and needs, so we

particular preferences and
liking.

referred to as synthetic turf, is a surface

in the landfill, wasting valuable space. Southwest Greens
offers a more environmentally conscious
option through our recycling program. The Shaw
Green Edge Recycling Program takes back the
turf once it has been removed, and we can
recycle it in a variety of ways.

Here, we make use of reclaimed
ground surfaces, including turf fibers, to generate electricity
for our manufacturing sites.

processes, the entire synthetic grass system can be
recycled back into their polymer
state. This material is then
formed or extruded into new floor coverings such as mats,
rugs, carpet backing, and resilient products,
decreasing the need for new
materials.
The rubber infill and
sand are meticulously extracted from the turf,
cleaned, and recycled. It can be
reused in future turf installations or as
materials for other goods,
reducing waste.
Livability is a benchmarking system

make sure our products meet exceptional
