Southwest Greens proudly presents a cutting edge breakthrough in organic infill for artificial grass that’s safe for pets: K9 Sand. This amazing product not only boasts a 100% organic composition, but it is also sustainable and carbon-negative, actively removing more carbon from the air than is required for extracting it. Read on to find out more about K9 Sand for Jacksonville pet turf!

THE SCIENCE OF K9 SAND

This carbon-negative feature has earned K9 Sand a prestigious negative carbon footprint certification from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). But that is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the benefits of implementing K9 Sand with your turf installation.

K9 Sand is renowned for its round, hard, and uniformly shaped grains, carefully selected to elevate performance (see Figure 1). Responsibly harvested from naturally occurring and regenerative deposits on the ocean shelf, K9 Sand ensures environmental sustainability. Southwest Greens utilizes eco-friendly extraction practices, harvesting less than 10% of the total amount renewed each year. This commitment to eco-consciousness ensures that our 100% natural and sustainable turf infill remains in alignment with nature.

Once you get a bag of our K9 Sand, you'll appreciate its small and uniform grain size, which makes installation a piece of cake. The round and uniform shape of the grains creates small gaps between neighboring particles, drastically boosting water drainage. Moreover, the soft shape of K9 Sand reduces wear and tear on artificial grass fibers over time.

The hardness and dustless nature of K9 Sand guarantee a long-lasting and reliable infill solution. But the advantages keep going — K9 Sand also keeps the artificial turf cool. Each grain of K9 Sand is made up of tiny pores that retain water. As the surface temperature rises, the water in these micro-pores is released, which provides evaporative cooling and reducing the temperature by approximately 20°F compared to conventional turf infills. With its superior bulk density (106 lbs/ft³), K9 Sand ensures ideal ballast, preventing wrinkling and maintaining an immaculate appearance.

THE BENEFITS OF K9 SAND

When it comes to eco-conscious practices and sustainability, K9 Sand stands above its competition. It’s non-toxic, has no heavy metals and plastics, and embodies an uncompromising commitment to the health of our planet. Even better, K9 Sand offers unique qualities that make it the ideal infill solution for Jacksonville artificial grass for pets. It drastically decreases the odor of urine (see Figure 2).

Urine’s odor comes from the volatilization of ammonia. K9 Sand combats this issue by inhibiting the hydrolysis of ammonia in urine. Additionally, K9 Sand stops the growth of bacteria, similar to other turf infills with anti-microbial additives (see Figure 3). These remarkable benefits are attained without the need for any additives or coatings — K9 Sand is simply obtained from the ocean, meticulously cleaned, and delivered to your doorstep.
