How long does artificial turf last in Arizona?
Does artificial turf get hot in Phoenix?
Does artificial grass melt?
Does artificial turf drain during monsoons?
Our turf offers some of the best drainage rates in the turf industry. All of our turf products drain at a rate of more than 30 inches per hour per square yard — significantly better than a natural lawn. Whether you have frequent rainstorms or pet urine to worry about, our industry-leading drainage capacity ensures that your artificial turf will continue to look great (and remain dry) long after installation.
Does artificial turf require maintenance?
- Clear any debris like fallen leaves, branches and trash that may land on your grass. This will help it maintain a clean look and prevent matting.
-
Clean any spills and stains with a mixture of mild soap and lukewarm water.
-
Gently spray down your lawn weekly to remove dust, dirt, pollen or pet urine.
- Pick up solid pet waste when your dog uses the bathroom on your lawn, and rinse it down to help pet urine drain quickly. This will help it smell fresh and remain odor-free.
-
For pet owners, especially those with a relatively small turf area and/or multiple dogs, use an Enzymatic along with the Pet Turf System to keep your pet turf smelling fresh.
Can artificial turf be installed around a pool?
Yes, artificial grass is great for pool areas. Synthetic grass will drain any excess water rapidly, remaining dry and slip-resistant. Artificial turf’s durable, tear-resistant blades also mean that you don’t need to worry about wet grass blades being tracked into the pool.
Does artificial turf save water?
Yes! Artificial turf does not need to be watered to stay green like real grass that requires excessive amounts of water particularly in the summertime to maintain. The Arizona Department of Water Resources says as much as 70% of residential water use is outdoors. Residents that incorporate water efficiency into everyday life help to preserve water for future generations.
Is artificial turf chemically safe?
The artificial grass installed by Arizona’s Greenest Grass is USA-made and made with the highest safety standards for chemical makeup and are created without PFAS chemicals in any part of the manufacturing process, including raw ingredients and materials.
Will artificial turf reduce bugs and pests?
Yes! Because synthetic turf has no organic matter or standing water, it’s an excellent pest deterrent. In fact, the installation process itself often removes and deters the presence of bugs and other pests. Once installed, it’s virtually impossible for pests to permeate the layers of sub-base, weed membrane, drainage materials and turf backing, giving you a pest-free lawn.
How is artificial grass eco-friendly?
-
Water Conservation: In Arizona, natural grass needs to be watered several times per week to stay green and healthy. Artificial turf never needs to be watered to remain green, aiding in water conservation efforts.
-
Less Chemical Use: Say goodbye to fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and other harmful chemicals when you switch to artificial turf. Harmful chemicals from natural grass maintenance products often seep into the soil and nearby water sources, potentially damaging the local environment. With Arizona’s Greenest Grass turf, you can have a safer, family-friendly lawn.
-
Reduced Air Pollution: Lawnmowers, leaf blowers, edgers and other gas-powered maintenance tools required for natural grass lawns all create air pollution. When you switch to Arizona’s Greenest Grass turf, you can get rid of those mowers and edgers, reducing carbon emissions and improving local air quality.
