Incorporating Synthetic Grass with Your Pets

/in /by

When installing artificial grass for a pet area, it is crucial to know the right products to use and to make sure your installer provides you with the best possible pet product options. Pet installations require deodorizers to prevent unpleasant smells and infills that prevent the growth of bacteria.

At OC Turf & Putting Greens, we’ll provide you with 3 amazing pet system products that will enhance any pet turf installation with the added benefits of each of them being non-toxic, biodegradable, and eco-friendly.

OC TURF’S 3 PET SYSTEMS

#1: Durafill

Durafill is a non-absorbent, green silicon dioxide granule infill product that stops the growth of bacteria and spores through antimicrobial technology. Durafill is a one time application and does not contain any zinc or heavy metals making it perfectly safe for kids and pets alike!

#2: Zeolite Max

Zeolite Max is a natural turf deodorizer that is installed underneath and on top of the turf to provide a fresh smelling lawn while simultaneously cooling the artificial turf fibers. Zeolite Max absorbs pet urine, traps and neutralizes ammonia-based odors by direct contact. It is best to install this infill on top and within the turf fibers.

#3: Pet Fresh

Pet Fresh is an organic liquid solution that helps fight odors caused by animal urine, keeping your landscape fresh, clean and enjoyable! Pet Fresh can be used as needed and leaves the turf sanitary and fresh-smelling.

OC Turf provides you with the best options when it comes to your furry family members and we know they will love it for years to come!

TigerCool Technology

/in /by

Summer is officially here and it’s the perfect time to discuss a new synthetic grass technology that’s offered in many of our products: TigerCool.

TigerCool yarns are engineered with heat reflective technology and U.V. inhibitors to drastically lower the temperature of your turf.  In fact, a series of solar panel tests have concluded that our TigerCool products are designed to reduce surface temperatures by 15% and up to 10 degrees!

When the turf blades absorb the infrared light, the cooling technology allows for those rays to be reflected. While absorbed infrared is transformed into heat, TigerCool aids in reflecting the infrared light causing decrease in heat build up.

TigerCool technology is featured on many of the best selling turf products we offer and will make any hot day a pleasant one. If you’re looking to lounge in the frontyard, backyard, or have family and friends over for BBQs, our TigerCool products are the perfect choice this summer!

All of our products are safe for children, pet friendly, and will last for years to come. Don’t let the heat ruin your outdoor activities! Ask us about your TigerCool product options today.

Let’s Talk Blade Shapes

/in /by

When choosing the right synthetic grass lawn, it is important to understand the factors that contribute to the best experience for your particular situation. One of the most important factors is determining which blade shape works best for you. Aside from face weights and pile heights,  blade shapes also help determine levels of durability the turf can endure. At OC Turf & Putting Greens we feature 5 different and amazing options that will work for any landscaping area.

Our Diamond Series features a 3D “W” fiber that acts as a memory foam. As one of our most popular lines, the Diamond’s curvy “W” shape bounces back to it’s original form almost immediately! For active to heavy foot traffic levels, the 3D “W” fiber is the choice to go for any landscape installation.

The Omega blade shape is featured on our Everlade Series and Pet Turf. This one of a kind shape was meant for high levels of foot traffic and extreme durability. If you have any pets and kids running around, this is the perfect blade shape for your installation.The Majestic and Marquee series feature a Diamond de-lustered blade shape that is capable of constant traffic depending on its face weight. The lighter face weights would work best for a front yard with moderate levels of foot traffic. Lastly, the Sierra series feature two products with a strong “S” blade that acts as a spring that supports intermediate to consistent levels of activity.

Remembering to take these blade shape characteristics into consideration will allow you to enjoy your synthetic grass lawn to the fullest extent!
