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

Will the artificial grass deteriorate over time? How durable is the turf?
Southwest Greens of Connecticut's earliest installations are 20 years old or older and still embody the rich green color and texture of real grass. Our UV-resistant synthetic grass products look and perform like new because they are crafted to withstand heavy traffic, harsh weather conditions and temperature fluctuations for all-season use. All installations come complete alongside a one-year workmanship warranty and manufacturer's warranty that covers fading.
Our artificial grass is engineered to be used and is highly recommended in high-traffic areas or for long-term sporting purposes
In most instances, artificial grass is disposed directly into landfills, using up precious space. Shaw offers a desirable alternative through the Green Edge Recycling Program. Once synthetic grass is removed, we can repurpose it in several different ways including sheet goods, rugs, carpet backing, mats and more.
Sand filling from the synthetic grass product is mechanically taken out 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 over 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 provides hundreds of fully certified Cradle to Cradle flooring products.
Our artificial 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 enough to keep the surface clear. For golf greens, routine maintenance by your local Southwest Greens of Connecticut representative every 12-18 months is recommended; we will guarantee smooth putts with consistent check-ups that include inspecting the areas around the cups for any adjustments and rolling the green.
Professional Southwest Greens of Connecticut designers and installers are the only personnel certified to design and install our artificial grass materials. DIY purchases are available with consultation but will void any installation warranty
There are quite a few reasons that synthetic grass is an ideal option for Greenwich pet owners! First, it's much easier to maintain than real grass — you won't have to worry about watering, saving you time and money. Additionally, artificial grass is more durable than real grass, so it can withstand lots of activity. Plus, artificial 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 entirely pest-free, you can rest assured they’ll 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 might
make a good breeding ground for fleas and ticks. As long as you take care of your
artificial lawn regularly, there will be barely any
pests.
Yes, our artificial turf looks and feels just like real grass, so your four-legged companions will be able to enjoy it just as much a regular grass lawn. They can roll around on the grass to their heart's content!

grass is designed to be
resilient and resistant to damage, so it is able to tolerate digging without being harmed.
However, if your pets are tenacious 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 clean water to remove any debris. For more thorough cleaning, you can use a specialized artificial grass cleaner 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 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 accumulation
of odor. Our pet-turf system is designed
to help neutralize odors, but there are steps you
can take to ensure there are no lingering odors persist. 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 synthetic turf is designed to be sturdy and
durable, with a lifespan of up to twenty 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-protected synthetic turf
products look and function like new because they are
built to withstand frequent use, weather extremes, and temperature
fluctuations for all-year use.
All setups come complete with a
1-year labor warranty and a
builder's warranty that covers
fading.
