National Dog Week & Pet Turf

In honor of National Dog Week, we’re highlighting why pet turf is the best landscape alternative for your dogs and other pets. We don’t discriminate against cats, rabbits, hamsters…we can all enjoy the turf!

Synthetic grass is the perfect, pet-safe lawn alternative to the patchy-brown and muddy lawn in your backyard. It prevents digging, muddy paws, lawn stains, and discoloration. We promise that your turf will look and feel just like natural grass as well as provide a soft surface for dogs to lay on.

Our Pet Turf is designed with all types and sizes of pets in mind. It is perfect for moderate to heavy traffic at a 1-inch pile height and can drain 28 inches of rain per hour per square yard. Each grass blade of this product are UV-stabilized preventing fading, flame-resistant, non-water-soluble, lead-free, and 100% non-toxic. Solid waste is easy to remove and rinse off.

Installed under the pet turf is typically our drain core, which helps maximize drainage of rain, pet urination, or other liquids. It’s ½ inches of flexible and durable polyethylene that can be laid over normal in-ground installations or even concrete or flooring. This is meant to save our clients money and allow our installers to finish the project quicker.

With pet turf installations comes the need for Zeolite Max, our all natural artificial turf deodorizer. This non-toxic, biodegradable, and organic infill can mix with other infill solutions to help eliminate urine odor as well as cool the synthetic grass fibers. It absorbs bacteria and neutralizes ammonia odors. It’s a one-time application on top of the installation in between the grass fibers.

Envirofill, also known as Durafill, is the latest and greatest infill product technology. It’s non-toxic, non-absorbent, and eco-friendly. Envirofill is Microban antimicrobial infused in order to prevent bacteria growth. This infill is dense and heavy, so it will stay in the turf blades rather than bouncing and moving around.

Our last pet turf product is turf fresh/pet fresh, a liquid solution that helps fight odors and keep your lawn fresh and clean! Like all of our products, it’s environmentally friendly and non-toxic. Pet fresh is a concentrated, organic spray that can be used as needed.

You only want the best for your fur babies. That’s why OC Turf and Putting Greens only offers the best quality pet turf and supplies for your beloved dogs. We have everything you could possibly need to make sure your pets have the best time outside while keeping your yard flawless.

Why Synthetic Grass is Perfect for Commercial Installations

Artificial grass has become the new norm in Orange County. Post drought, we are a little more water conscious which makes all of Southern California just a little more eco-friendly.

While our mindset might be centered around how we can save water at home, we rarely think about how the same solution is applicable in our businesses or commercial buildings. If you’re a property manager or a commercial property owner, artificial grass can be a way to save time, money, and just be that much more picturesque.

Synthetic grass makes your business look GOOD.

We live in an age of appearances and keeping up your landscape is vital for positive first impressions of your business. If you have a photo of your building on your website, but your lawn is brown and dead, it really doesn’t look fantastic. When your clients come in for meetings, you want them to think about how great your building looks and when the lawn is green, people will notice. If you’re leasing rooms in an apartment complex and the common area lawn is looking unattended, potential tenants are going to run for the hills. Knowing that you put the time and effort into a complex is going to keep people wanting to live there. 

This brings us to our next point – you can look like you put in the time and the effort without actually having to do so.

An artificial lawn looks green, plush, and beautiful with little to no maintenance. You don’t need a crew of guys out there every weekend mowing and fertilizing while burning a hole in your pocket. All you need is a good turf installation. Synthetic grass gives you the opportunity to advertise your business or complex as eco-friendly because you’re not giving off the gases from a lawn mower and you’re saving hundreds of gallons of water every week! You’re being earth conscious with an unbeatable artificial lawn and no one can write that off.

Lastly, you don’t need to worry because we have the perfect artificial grass products for the job.

Not all turf products are the same and when you’re looking to install for a business, you need to keep in mind that many people are probably going to walk on it. With the latest turf product technology, we have products that allow for high foot traffic without sacrificing the realism or feel. Some of our popular commercial turf products include our Diamond Seriesas well as our Everglade Series.

When it comes to your commercial property, you should put your best foot forward. Give us a call here at OC Turf and Putting Greens to see how artificial grass can be a good fit for your business.

The Beautification of Lawns with Turf

Grass is only beautiful when it’s green. But without the proper maintenance, natural grass can be patchy, brown, and ugly. The easy way out would be to lay down concrete or bricks, but that won’t be as natural-looking or inviting. There’s something so serene about having greenery, specifically grass. And that’s why having everlasting green artificial grass is the best option.

Most people already know the benefits of having synthetic grass include zero watering, mowing, or fertilizer. But the everlasting and luscious green aesthetics are sometimes overlooked. Not only does turf require little to no maintenance, it looks and feels just like natural grass. It’s impossible to take care of natural grass the same way as artificial turf–your lawn would become brown and patchy before you know it.

In addition to the low-maintenance and everlasting greenery, synthetic grass comes in a wide range of products that vary in lengths, thickness, and color. The best part? With the occasional rinse and groom, turf will always be the color and size that was originally installed.

Turf fibers will stand upright like real grass blades, giving it that full and luscious look of grass. There are many turf products for different types traffic, but even the low-traffic products will require a lot of activity to flatten the turf blades. Flattened turf blades can be easily fixed by raking or brushing the grass to fluff them back to their upright positions.

For years to come, your turf installation will be lusciously green and you will be just as happy as day one. At OC Turf and Putting Greens, we back up all of our products with a 15-year limited warranty provided by our manufacturer, Synthetic Grass Warehouse. Give us a call today and let’s talk about how we can make your lawn green and beautiful again.

3 Surprising Ways Turf Benefits Your Poolside Experience

In the state of California alone, there are over 1.18 million residential swimming pools, making it the state with the most pools in all of the United States. Can you believe it? Many residents have found that having a pool in their own backyard is a wonderful and luxurious investment, but some are even happier with the synthetic grass installation around it. Pool turf installation is the perfect choice for your backyard and here’s why:

1. Aesthetics – It Simply Looks Better

No matter how much artificial turf you decide to install, the pop of color from the never fading green will make your backyard and swimming area more inviting and beautiful than just concrete. The evergreen turf is unique and will be customized to your vision and property. It can be installed up to the pool’s edge, making the landscape seamless and look relaxing. The synthetic grass next to the water makes your backyard a naturalistic oasis.

2. Clean and Contamination-Free

The green-alternative to turf is natural grass, but there are a few problems that come with it apart from the lawn maintenance. As soon as you get out of the pool and step into real grass, the dirt beneath you will become mud. Your dirty feet will collect mud, stray grass blades, and other debris which then will be trekked across the yard, into your home, or back into the pool. Synthetic grass will drain the pool water so there won’t be any mud, and the built-to-last material will prevent stray grass blades from going anywhere.

3. Better Drainage, Less Puddles & Increased Safety

All of our residential turf products have a drainage rate of 28 inches of rain per hour per square yard, meaning our turf is more than capable of draining excess water that splash out of the pool or drip off while you’re drying. Natural grass will result in mud puddles and concrete will result in puddles of water; both of which can be very slick and slippery. No more fear of falling when people are walking a little too fast (or running) around the pool! Turf will be much cooler than concrete, literally. With TigerCool (which is in 2/3 of our residential turf products), you’ll be comfortably walking barefoot before and after your swim.

With these 3 amazing benefits, artificial turf is shaping out to be the prime choice to be next to your pool. Convinced you have the perfect solution for your poolside experience yet? Give us a call and we’d love to help you pick the perfect synthetic grass product and landscaping design for your backyard.

Enhancing your Summer with Artificial Grass

Summer is the prime time for fun in the sun. It’s a great opportunity for soaking in Vitamin D and spending some quality time with loved ones. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, it does. Turf will enhance your summer fun outside without going off your property. Artificial grass isn’t just for making your home look good, there’s a lot more to it.

#1 – Sports. This is a no brainer since a lot of sports fields are turf. In a big open turf area, you could play football, soccer, ultimate frisbee, baseball, field hockey, or maybe even Quidditch. Many people have concerns about it getting too hot on turf, but with TigerCool technology, having on turf is a lot cooler (learn more about TigerCool in our last blog: link).

#2 – Golf. Even though this technically falls under the “Sports” category, putting greens is one of our specialties and we’ll cater to your golfing needs. Whether you want a large putting field or a small one, your golfing endeavors won’t need to compromise from our end.

#3 – Playgrounds. If you already have a playground or want a playground in your yard, you don’t have to give up turf too. Turf installation with playgrounds is very common and offers a safe padding for children if they fall. There’ll be no grass or dirt stains on their clothes and the turf is incredibly durable.

#4 – Pools. In the hot summer sun, it’s always a nice feeling being able to jump into the pool, but if you have concrete those puddles of water next to the pool are a hazard, and real grass will just get muddy. Our products have a great drainage system that would be perfect for poolside use as well as compliment overall aesthetic.

#5 – BBQ’s and Parties. Go ahead and host as many parties as you want. Turf is allergen-free, insect-free, and durable enough to handle all your guests. And with your newly installed turf, you’re definitely going to want to show it off to all your friends.

Enhance your summer experience by installing turf in your yard and you definitely won’t regret it. Give us a call today and let’s get you and your family hanging out on your fresh turf ASAP!
