FAQ's About Artificial Turf

FAQs About Artificial Turf in Arizona

High-quality artificial grass can last up to 20 years with average use and regular cleaning maintenance. To back this up, the manufacturer offers a limited 15-year warranty on turf.
*Putting Green Warranty is 8 years.

Arizona’s Greenest Grass offers a variety of USA-made turf including TigerTurf with TigerCool™ technology, which is the latest in artificial grass cooling technology.  TigerCool™ synthetic grass is created with heat-reflective pigments and UV inhibitors to reduce surface temperatures by up to 15 percent.
Natural grass (and other variations of artificial grass) absorbs infrared light from the sun and turns it into heat. Dark colors, like the greens and browns found in grass, absorb the most light and create the most heat buildup, causing those surface temperatures to increase the most. TigerCool™, however, uses heat-reflective dark color pigments in the production process to prevent this heat buildup. With these pigments, infrared light is reflected rather than absorbed, which reduces surface temperatures significantly.

Yes. Synthetic turf melts at 175ºF or greater. Avoid using BBQs directly over your turf, and never pour boiling water onto the surface of your turf landscaping.  If your house or business has double-paned windows installed, we recommend getting a UV filter applied to your windows before installing artificial turf as the glare from double-paned windows has a history of reaching high temperatures.

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.

Yes, but compared to natural grass it is low maintenance. Synthetic turf’s low-maintenance nature is one of its biggest benefits for property owners. A weekly light rinse and cross-brushing are sufficient for routine upkeep.
  • 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

In addition to being aesthetically appealing and low maintenance, synthetic grass also aids in multiple aspects of environmental conservation.
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
