In most cases, synthetic turf is disposed of directly into landfills, using up precious space. Shaw offers an improved alternative through the Green Edge Recycling Program. Once synthetic grass is removed, we can repurpose it in a variety of 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 other products.
Shaw has recycled over half of a billion pounds of carpet since 2007 and opened two advanced recycling facilities — Evergreen (nylon 6 recycling) and Re2E (Reclaim to Energy). Today, Shaw provides hundreds of fully certified Cradle to Cradle flooring products.
Our synthetic grass products necessitate very little maintenance. For most artificial turf applications, using a leaf blower and water hose to clear lawn and pet debris is all you need to keep the surface clear. For golf greens, routine maintenance by your local Southwest Greens of Eastern Washington representative every 12-18 months is recommended; we will ensure smooth putts with consistent check-ups that include inspecting the areas around the cups for any adjustments and rolling the green.
Highly trained Southwest Greens of Eastern Washington engineers and installers are the only personnel certified to design and install our artificial turf materials. DIY purchases are available with consultation but will void any installation warranty

owners! First, it's much easier to care
for than real grass — you won't have to worry
about watering, saving you time and
money.

tough than real grass, so it

difficult for fleas, ticks, and other pests to
survive in the synthetic turf. While we can’t guarantee that your yard will be completely free of pests, you can count on

eliminated. Because there isn’t any soil to

turf is odorless, so if any smells do occur,
it’s usually caused by animal
waste. 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 company's pet-turf system is designed
to help neutralize odors, but there are steps you
can take to ensure there's no
unpleasant smell persist. We advise you use a solution
of equal parts water and white vinegar to spray Fido’s
favorite bathroom area. Let it dry to get rid of
any remaining smell, if our system was not used.
Our
top-quality synthetic grass is designed to be sturdy and
long-lasting, with a lifespan of up to 20 years with
