Once synthetic grass is removed, we are prepared to repurpose it in several different ways including sheet goods, rugs, carpet backing, mats and more.
Sand infill from the synthetic turf product is mechanically taken out from the turf, separated and then put through a cleansing process. The filling can then be used in future fields or used as materials for other products.
Shaw has recycled more than 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 provides hundreds of fully certified Cradle to Cradle flooring products.
Our artificial turf products require very little maintenance.

There are a lot
of reasons why synthetic grass is an
excellent option for Augusta pet
owners! First, it's much easier to keep up than real grass — you won't have to worry
about fertilizing, saving you precious time and hard-earned money.
Additionally, artificial grass is more
tough than natural grass, so it
can withstand heavy foot traffic. Plus,
artificial grass is non-toxic
and safe, making it safe for your
pets.
It is very
difficult for fleas, ticks, and other pests to
survive in the artificial
turf. 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 must keep an eye out for any
buildup of leaves or debris that can
make a good breeding ground for fleas and ticks. As long as you clean your
artificial lawn regularly, there will be very few
pests.

effortless! You can

cleaning guide for more tips.
Artificial grass 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 accumulation
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 no smells 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 the SWG system was not used.
Our

enduring, with a lifespan of up to 20 years with
