EXPERTS IN MANUFACTURING
The Shaw Turf division holds the industry’s biggest and most advanced sports science lab for product advancement and testing. The 13,000 square-foot Sports Science Laboratory has state-of-the-art testing equipment and a full-time staff putting together and testing engineered synthetic turf solutions for many applications and markets.
Synthetic turf products are created and tested around athlete/surface and ball/surface interactions to make sure the correct combination of durability, performance, and safety are met. Southwest Greens also offers over 18,000 square feet of on-site, outdoor field test patches, so our artificial turf is not only tested rigorously in simulations, but real-world exposure. Each blade has a realistic sheen without fading in the sun, pledging our artificial turf products will never fade and are always well-manicured, unlike real grass. Our environmentally-friendly products look, feel, and spring back just like natural grass. Plus, Southwest Greens East Bay's signature collection of synthetic grass are lead-free and 100 percent recyclable!
EASE OF MAINTENANCE FOR LUXURY LIVING
Save time – never get rid of leftover lawn trimmings again! Simply keep the artificial grass surface clean with a sweeper or leaf blower. DIY or rely on us to periodically inspect infill levels. With over thirty heights and fashions to choose from, Southwest Greens East Bay artificial grass solutions are intentionally designed to simulate the genuine look, feel, and performance of real grass. Southwest Greens East Bay’s products are tough, resist matting, do not deteriorate in the sun, and are rugged enough to handle heavy use. Spongy and natural yet incredibly durable, artificial turf is ideal for severe climates and locations with heavy traffic. Always green and rich, our grass is made of a special polyethylene blend of long-bladed, grass fibers constructed to last a lifetime.
KID-SAFE, PET-FRIENDLY
The nature of our products stops itching, sneezing, and stains associated with real grass. Our synthetic grass solutions eliminate the need to expose loved ones and pets to harmful chemicals required to treat the real thing. Southwest Greens East Bay artificial turf can also be designed for extra-soft, fall-safe ASTM-compliant landings.
Have pets? Our turf backing system is made with urethane technology allowing superior flow-through for drainage without the mud. Smells and spots of wilted grass will be behind you. Artificial grass also keeps fleas and ticks away, giving you peace of mind while saving money.
THE GREEN ALTERNATIVE
Environmentally-friendly, Southwest Greens East Bay signature collection of products conserve water, eradicate the need for fertilizers and pesticides, and are free of heavy metals. Furthermore, it’s the only artificial grass that uses 100 percent recyclable materials! Despite the initial cost, homeowners, business owners, and municipal managers report long-term savings. Based on customers’ reports, most anticipate a two to five-year payback on their artificial turf investment. Installing artificial turf solutions saves millions of gallons of water every year and lessens pollution byproducts due to mowing machinery use.
