Sacramento pet owners love artificial grass because it stays beautiful and evergreen no matter what your furry friends try to do to it. You can avoid brown patches, broken blades, and even pet odor thanks to the convenience of synthetic grass products. By utilizing the incredible pet-friendly turf products available on the market, you can effectively eliminate pet odor and keep your lawn looking and smelling fresh all year long.

Efficient Drainage

One way that artificial grass helps homeowners avoid pet odor is through its highly efficient drainage capabilities. Artificial Turf by Fenix’s turf products all drain at a rate of more than 30 inches of water per hour per square yard, so pet urine will drain through the turf and off of your property in no time. There’s no pooled liquid on the surface of the grass, helping your lawn stay sanitary and smelling fresh.

Antimicrobial Infill

All synthetic turf is installed with infill, a material poured between the turf blades to help them stand upright in your lawn. Specially engineered, pet-friendly turf infill products are now available for homeowners who have four-legged friends they need to accommodate. This non-absorbent, antimicrobial infill can withstand harsh conditions such as pet urine to keep your artificial turf looking as good as new for years to come. This infill captures the ammonia in pet waste and prevents it from turning into a gas, thus preventing odor from escaping. Protecting your synthetic turf from stains, odors, and deterioration will help you protect your investment while keeping your lawn sanitary.

Spot Cleaning

In addition to your artificial grass installation products, there are ways to periodically clean your lawn in order to keep it as fresh as possible. If you notice your pet has left waste on your turf, or if it’s just been a while since you’ve rinsed your lawn down, spend a minute or two going over it with a hose to help drain any leftover waste from your synthetic grass. You can also use turf freshening products specially formulated to clear away pet odor, such as Turf Fresh, for spot cleaning and general upkeep. Products such as these are biodegradable, non-toxic formulas that will leave your lawn smelling fresh and clean without doing any harm to your little ones. The spray can be applied as needed, so it’s a quick and easy way to give your synthetic grass lawn a refreshing spot clean.

If you’re ready to transform your Sacramento home with pet-friendly artificial grass products, you may be wary of pet odor collecting in the fibers. However, synthetic turf is the perfect solution for pet owners who want a low-maintenance landscaping solution. Efficient drainage, antimicrobial infill, and various turf cleaning products make eliminating pet odor a breeze.

If you own or manage a Sacramento event center, you’re always looking for ways to improve your property and encourage more bookings. Whether you host weddings, birthdays, baby showers, or anything else, having a spacious, picturesque backdrop for your client’s major life event is crucial. If you’re looking for a convenient way to upgrade the appearance of your event venue, there’s no better option than synthetic grass installation. Installing synthetic grass throughout your venue will offer you numerous benefits that will improve the customer experience while saving you time and money.

Pristine Landscaping

Perhaps the biggest appeal of artificial grass installation is the enhanced aesthetic appeal. The lush, evergreen appearance of artificial grass will bring your event venue to life in a way you never imagined possible and create a picturesque location that clients will love. Visitors won’t have any dirt or mud to contend with when they walk around your venue, since artificial grass uses infill made from synthetic materials that won’t dirty shoes or other personal belongings. The evenly-colored, vibrant blade tones of synthetic grass will emphasize the brown patches and uneven blade height that other venues have, and your venue will clearly stand out to prospective clients as a cut above the rest. This pristine appearance communicates to the client that your property is well cared for, which will cause the client to have faith in your ability to host an incredible event for their special day.

Increased Bookings

This enhanced aesthetic appeal and well-maintained appearance will consistently result in a better impression on clients, which in turn will increase your number of bookings each year. When it comes to booking an event venue, appearance is arguably the biggest factor that clients consider, so having a stand-out appearance will give you an edge over the competition. Additionally, if clients enjoy their experience with your venue and appreciate the cleanliness and visual appeal of your synthetic grass, they will be more likely to recommend your venue to friends and family. Word of mouth is one of the biggest ways that venues attract clients, so keeping your existing clients happy with lush, beautiful, and mud-free synthetic grass is imperative for growing your business in the future.

Lower Maintenance

Another advantage of installing synthetic grass in your venue is the easy upkeep for you and your staff. Unlike real grass, artificial grass never needs watering, mowing, fertilizing, or other extensive maintenance to keep it looking lush and healthy. Synthetic grass doesn’t grow, change color, or get diseases, so your venue will stay perfectly green all year long with little effort. This ability to eliminate daily watering and other upkeep will save you dozens of hours on maintenance. This maintenance often leaves you with grass that suffers from inevitable brown patches anyway. With synthetic grass, you can spend a fraction of the time maintaining your grass and invest more time and resources into perfecting other areas of your venue.

Long-Term Savings

These decreased maintenance needs translate to decreased costs as well, saving you thousands of dollars each year. Although synthetic grass has a higher installation cost than natural grass sod, it is a much cheaper landscaping solution over time. Eliminating the cost of fertilizer and other lawn chemicals, landscaping services, and hundreds of gallons of water use will quickly add up to thousands of dollars in savings each year. 

By making the switch to synthetic grass for your Sacramento event venue, you can attract and impress more clients while saving yourself time and money. Artificial turf will transform the appearance of your venue and make it a breathtaking spot for any client’s special occasion. When it comes to choosing an event venue, appearance is everything, so make sure you stand out from the competition with luxurious synthetic grass landscaping.

Properties all over the Sacramento area are switching to artificial grass landscaping due to its numerous aesthetic and financial benefits. One such benefit of installing artificial grass in your home or business is the inclusion of a highly efficient drainage system such as AirDrain. AirDrain is a geocell drainage grid created by Airfield Services that provides unparalleled efficiency in turf drainage rates. If you’re considering synthetic grass installation for your property, speak to a professional about product drain rates and which synthetic turf option is right for you.

How Does Artificial Turf Drainage Work?

AirDrain is an advanced geocell drainage grid that creates a one-inch air void underneath your artificial grass lawn. It elevates the synthetic grass in order to allow air to circulate and water to drain through rapidly. AirDrain is made from 100 percent recycled copolymer, which means that it will withstand extreme temperatures without sacrificing performance. By creating a pocket of space between the artificial grass and the concrete, the drainage system is able to flush away pet waste and other bacteria with unrivaled efficiency. This keeps your lawn clean and sanitary for you and your family to enjoy.

Drain Rates Perfect for Pet Turf

Artificial turf’s 100 percent vertical drainage makes it the ideal landscaping solution for kennels, dog parks, vet clinics, or homes with pets. Liquid and solid pet waste can be washed away quickly thanks to the 92 percent air void underneath the synthetic turf, so you can keep the area as clean and odor-free as possible. A flushing system can also be installed for even greater drainage capabilities. This system is low cost and easy to install, utilizing any water source and inexpensive PVC piping. Keep any animal common areas free from unpleasant odors and harmful bacteria with artificial turf’s remarkable drainage courtesy of Artificial Turf by Fenix.

Synthetic Grass Drainage for Playgrounds

Synthetic turf’s efficient drainage is advantageous for kids’ areas such as playgrounds as well. For play area turf, the drainage system is placed on top of the polygreen foam pad that protects kids from impact falls. The artificial grass and infill are then placed on top of the drainage system to complete the installation. All playground areas need proper water drainage in order to keep the area dry and free from bacteria. Playground drainage also results in a more stable surface area and consistent HIC testing results, making it a generally safer play surface for children. 

Whether you want artificial grass for your residential lawn or your commercial establishment, its efficient drainage system can handle any demand. With a drainage capability of more than 30 inches per hour per square yard, Sacramento residents never have to worry about flooded lawns or slip and fall risks.

Whether you want a play area for your home, your school district, or your Sacramento municipality, enhanced safety with maintained aesthetic appeal is always going to be the goal. You want your kids to have fun on their jungle gym and stay as safe as possible while doing it. With artificial grass, your kids can have endless playtime while you have peace of mind. Softer, cleaner and safer surfaces are just a few of the numerous benefits of choosing artificial grass for your play area.

Safer Surfaces

One of the biggest reasons why artificial grass is perfect for play areas is because of its safety features. Synthetic turf play systems are specially designed to be safe for kids and protect them from scrapes and falls. We install all of our turf products with an eco-friendly foam padding underneath which is proven to protect children from impact falls and injuries from up to 10 feet high. All of our play area synthetic turf products are IPEMA-certified and meet or exceed all standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials, so you can be confident that your kids are protected at play. 

Cleaner Environment

Our playground installations also feature an antimicrobial infill that prevents bacteria growth and keeps your playground cleaner and more sanitary. Infill acts as a non-toxic, non-absorbent synthetic soil that fills the space between blades. It’s composed of green silicone dioxide granules that are cooler under the sun than black rubber and are more sanitary than silica. They can not only prevent the spread of germs from one child to another, but it can also inhibit pet urine odor and help keep the area sanitary if your home or park contains kids and pets.

Enhanced Appearance & Durability

One reason why many Sacramento homes and businesses choose artificial grass for their playground landscaping is due to its combined durability and visual appeal. It’s just as durable as woodchips or rubber flooring, but with a much more natural and beautiful appearance. You can maintain your lush, green backyard space without needing to incorporate unsightly rubberized landscaping options or sacrificing any of the safety and durability benefits that they offer. Synthetic turf for play areas is specially engineered to withstand high foot traffic and won’t experience any matting, breaking, or discoloration. You can let kids run and play to their heart’s content without worrying about the effect on your outdoor space.

With superior aesthetics, performance, and safety features to real grass, synthetic turf is the natural choice for residential and commercial play areas. With no need for daily watering or regular maintenance, you can save thousands of dollars each year while simultaneously keeping your kids safe and your property beautiful.

When it starts to heat up in Sacramento at the start of summer, it’s a blessing and a curse. The warm, sunny weather means that there’s nothing you’d rather do than get outside, play, and enjoy the sun. However, the sun also means heat, humidity, and scalding surfaces. Whether it’s cement pavement or soft grass, every surface underfoot becomes unbearably hot during the summer, resulting in discomfort or even injury. With artificial grass featuring TigerCool technology, you can keep your artificial turf lawn cool and comfortable for hours of worry-free summer fun.

Artificial Turf by Fenix’s TigerTurf products feature the latest innovations available for artificial grass, including the new, revolutionary TigerCool temperature-control technology. TigerCool was created by TigerTurf and Tencate after years of extensive research and development. Tencate, a worldwide innovator of space-age yarns, is perhaps best known for its work with NASA and Boeing. TigerTurf was able to utilize Tencate’s industry-leading yarns to engineer an advanced artificial product with UV inhibitors that reduces turf surface temperatures by up to 15 percent.

The uncomfortably hot temperatures of surfaces such as pavement and grass are caused by the absorption of infrared sunlight into the surface material. Absorbed infrared light is transformed into heat, and conventional dark colors absorb that light at the highest rate. Therefore, the dark colors used in standard artificial grass products absorb large amounts of light and cause a high heat buildup and result in increased surface temperatures. However, heat-reflective color pigments like those used in our TigerCool artificial grass products reflect infrared light rather than absorbing it. This causes a decrease in heat buildup and lower surface temperatures overall. In fact, in a series of solar panel tests, it was found that TigerCool technology successfully reduces artificial grass temperatures by 15 percent or up to 10 degrees. This makes it safer and more comfortable for you and your family to enjoy your artificial grass in Sacramento. 

TigerCool technology is available in two of our bestselling TigerTurf product lines. Both our Diamond series and our Marquee series incorporate TigerCool technology, and both lines boast a wide range of artificial turf products that will suit any need. From light to heavy foot traffic, our synthetic turf products can handle whatever your space requires. Pile heights range from 1.75 inches to 1.875 inches and face weights vary from 60 ounces to 75 ounces, so you can achieve the appearance and durability that you like best. All of our synthetic turf products are non-toxic and completely safe for children and pets, so every member of the family can get outside and enjoy the benefits of TigerCool.
