Most of the time, artificial turf is dumped directly into landfills, using up precious space. Shaw offers a desirable alternative through the Green Edge Recycling Program. Once artificial turf is removed, we are able to repurpose it in a wide range of ways including carpet backing, mats, rugs, sheet goods and more.
Sand infill from the synthetic grass 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 other products.
Shaw has recycled upwards of half of a billion pounds of carpet since 2007 and opened two state-of-the-art 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 grass products necessitate very little maintenance. For most synthetic grass applications, using a leaf blower and water hose to remove lawn and pet debris is all you need to keep the surface clean. For golf greens, normal care by your local Southwest Greens East Bay representative every 12-18 months is recommended; we will ensure smooth putts with regular check-ups that include rolling the green and inspecting the areas around the cups for any adjustments.
Skilled Southwest Greens East Bay engineers 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 many reasons why artificial grass is a great option for Oakley pet owners! First, it's much easier to care for than natural grass — you won't have to worry about mowing, saving you valuable time and money. Additionally, synthetic grass is more durable than natural grass, so it can withstand lots of activity. Plus, synthetic grass is chemical-free, making it safe for your pets.
It's not easy 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 rest assured they’ll be mostly
eliminated. Because there isn’t any soil to
support their nesting, you have to keep an eye out for any
accumulation of leaves or debris that might
make a good breeding environment for fleas and ticks. As long as you clean your
artificial lawn regularly, there will be very few
pests.

grass.

turf is odorless, so if any smells do occur,
it’s usually caused by dog 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. Our company's pet-turf system is designed
to help get rid of odors, but there are steps you
can take to ensure there's no
unpleasant smell 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 our system was not used.
Our synthetic turf is designed to be long-lasting and

fading and discoloration.
