  • Not suitable for Children.

    When fake playground surfaces were first created, they seemed far more dangerous than a natural environment.

    One misconception about fake grass comes from the black shredded tire bits used for infill. They were hot, smelly, and possibly filled with harmful chemicals.

    The good news is that now artificial grass looks and feels more like the real thing. We have several options to make it safe to play, fall down, and roll around on. More parents and playground designers are choosing artificial grass than ever before.

  • Artificial Grass is too expensive.

    Installing artificial grass indeed has a higher upfront cost. The cost for high-quality products and professional grass installation is more per square foot than seed or sod. However, there are a lot of other factors to weigh before making your decision.

    While the upfront costs may be high, the long-term investment can start saving you a ton of money. Turf is very low-maintenance, uses less water, you no longer need harmful herbicides or fertilizers, and you save countless hours you used to spend weeding and mowing your natural lawn.

    You do need to factor in that initial cost, but if you’re considering an artificial grass lawn for a play area, a business, or backyard that will see years of use, the long-term investment will pay off.

  • Artificial Lawns have poor drainage.

    Here we have a case of “blaming the product for a poor install!” The reality is a properly installed lawn will have excellent drainage. Sometimes even better than the natural lawns out there. The odd gopher, heavy rain, and pet can create uneven pockets in “the real thing” that will accumulate too much water over time. But our artificial turf products are designed to keep your lawn from soggy mishaps.

    Make sure you check out our installation tips on our other page. We start with a properly landscaped and graded base comprised of large to small granite, rocks, and sand. This ensures that water will drain faster than packed earth. With the turf itself, we install proper drainage holes and ensure that the whole lawn is sloped in the right direction.

    Taking the time to install your turf properly upfront will mean it drains even better than a natural lawn. Plus, you won’t have those pesky critters and mudslides messing up your manicured area.

  • Fake Grass gets too hot!

    Product is everything with this one. Indeed, synthetic grass does not benefit from a natural water supply coursing through each blade and root, acting as a natural heat reducer. But there are many options to consider that will significantly reduce the summer scorch.

    Lighter colors absorb less of the sun’s rays, reducing overall heat. We also off a variety of infills that are designed to remain cooler.

    On big sports fields, the infill is typically comprised of shredded tire rubber, which helps with impact and injury prevention, but can become scorching hot in direct sunlight. In residential playgrounds, several better options are still safe, non-toxic, and cooler.

    After all that, a light spray with a hose is often all that’s needed to cool down the lawn enough for kids or pets to enjoy your new lawn.

  • CLEANING ARTIFICIAL GRASS: AN EASY LOW-EFFORT METHOD

    It’s good to stay on top of cleaning when it comes to the artificial grass as a build-up of dirt and debris can damage your lawn and be harder to clean later down the line. Here’s the quickest and simplest way to clean your fake lawn.

    1. Lightly brush your artificial grass once a week, or at least every other week, removing any leaves or twigs. A build-up of debris will stop your lawn from draining properly and also encourage weeds to grow. Use a brush with stiff bristles or a plastic rake rather than a metal one and go gently. Too much force could alter the shape of your turf. Brush in the opposite direction of the blades to plump them up and cross-brush the whole lawn to create a fluffy effect. You may need to brush areas with high foot traffic more frequently.
    2. You could also use a leaf blower for an even quicker way to remove garden debris from your lawn. This is best done on a dry day as removing wet leaves with a blower is not very effective.
    3. You should also try to clean your artificial grass with water on a semi-regular basis. Weekly or bi-monthly is good. While rainwater will wash away light dirt, hosing your grass down as well will make sure it always looks healthy and there’s no build-up.
    4. If you notice your artificial lawn is beginning to smell, you can clean it with a vinegar-water or soapy solution. Don’t use bleach as this is far too harsh. Vinegar is great for removing odours from pet urine while vinegar and baking soda are effective for removing stubborn stains. You can also buy specialist artificial grass cleaners. Diluted mineral spirits can be used sparingly on oil-based stains.
    5. For dirt that has hardened, use a plastic spatula, toothbrush, or blunt knife to gently ease it off.

  • The Future of the Artificial Turf Industry is Green


    Having been initially produced for sport applications, today nearly one-third of the global turf market caters to landscape and recreational uses, with the market projected to reach $7 billion by 2025 – as reported by IndustryARC in their own market forecast for 2020 to 2025. Scott Lowrie, President of Controlled Products – a renowned organization that has led the artificial turf industry in manufacturing technology for over 25 years – encourages contractors, landscapers, and other industry professionals to consider the profitability of artificial grass: “Artificial grass is a rapidly growing industry with adoption rates that suggest it will continue this trend for decades to come. The market is still in its infancy and for those who are looking for new products and new markets, artificial turf is a great product to promote.“ Custom builders, landscape architects, real estate agents and management firms, as well as local governments are seeking the benefits of synthetic turf in increasing numbers. An Administrative Draft Report for the City of Novato, prepared by Carducci Associates Landscape Architects and Planners San Francisco, CA states:

    “The City of San Francisco has demonstrated that synthetic turf athletic fields accommodate two or three times more use than natural grass fields and that thousands of children and adults from community sports leagues can have a place to play soccer/lacrosse year-round. One synthetic turf field can accommodate up to 3,000 hours of use per year, equal to about 1,500 two-hour games.“

    Furthermore, “There is potential for increased revenue from synthetic turf. A synthetic turf field received City Council support because it can cost less to maintain per hour than a natural grass field and generate revenues that make the synthetic turf field self-sustaining.” As stated by Scott Lowrie, “The market has enormous white space for growth in so many different ways. It will be exciting to watch this industry continue to grow and prosper.”

  • Learning from Purchase Green Houston’s Success

    The path to growth and prosperity may present differently to others, but there are key fundamentals conducive to the longevity of a store, such as hiring the right team members for the goals you have in mind and maintaining a positive corporate culture. The discussion with Bob and Jose highlighted the task of hiring individuals with skill sets that complement the needs of your store, developing your team for excellence by emphasizing the value of knowledge, and encouraging them along their process of learning.

    Additionally, relationship-building with not only your in-house team but also your clients is essential to their advocacy of your business – and is what ultimately broadens your network. Something simple to employ but also easy to forgo is the personalization of your service. Ask thoughtful questions about their line of work or how their last install went. Try to identify a need and offer value – possibly by way of industry insights, installation tips, and, in some circumstances, maybe a business partnership. Managers that are focused on customer support often find many creative ways to be the most helpful and valuable to their clients, and those are the clients that keep coming back.

    Anti-static additives:
    Static electricity often builds up between rubber and metal playground equipment. Grasses that have a tufted carbon fiber are called “anti-static” because they eliminate static electricity. This keeps kids safe from static shocks!

    So now, if a neighbor ever says, “Oh so you’ve got Astro turf in your yard“, you can confidently say “Nah, I’ve got Purchase Green in my yard”.
