 Outdoors, absorbed infrared sunlight is transformed into heat. Conventional dark colors, like those in standard artificial turf, absorb infrared light, causing high heat buildup and raising surface temperatures. With heat-reflective dark colors, like those used in our TigerCool turf products, infrared light is reflected instead of absorbed, causing a decrease in heat buildup. In a series of solar panel tests, it was indicated that TigerCool technology successfully reduces turf temperatures by 15 percent and up to 10 degrees, making it safer and more comfortable for you and your family to enjoy your artificial grass in Laguna Niguel.

TigerCool is used throughout our Diamond series and Marquee series – two of our best-selling lines. Both offer products for a range of needs, covering light to heavy foot traffic. Pile heights range from 1.75 inches to 1.875 inches, and face weights vary from 60 ounces to 75 ounces. All of our products are safe for children and pet-friendly so that you can be worry-free all year long.

 It’s getting warmer every day in Laguna Niguel, and soon the blistering summer heat will be out in full force. When the weather heats up, you want your backyard to provide an oasis where you can cool off and make the most of the sunshine. Whether it’s you, your kids, or your pets, no one wants to run around on grass that burns their feet. With our range of products featuring innovative TigerCool technology, you won’t ever have to worry about heat ruining your outdoor activities again.

Our TigerTurf products feature the latest innovations available for artificial turf, including first-of-its-kind TigerCool temperature-control technology. In early generations of poorly-produced artificial turf, the surface temperature of the synthetic grass could often exceed 175 degrees. Not only is this uncomfortable for you, but it’s unsafe for your children and pets.  

Through years of research and development, TigerTurf and Tencate have revolutionized the artificial turf industry. Tencate is a worldwide innovator of space-age yarns for companies such as NASA and Boeing. Utilizing their unique and advanced yarns, TigerTurf engineered a product with heat reflective color pigments and UV inhibitors that reduce surface temperatures by up to 15 percent!

ENHANCED CURB APPEAL

Summer or winter, rain or shine, artificial grass remains lush and perfectly green all year long. The synthetic polyethylene material doesn’t require any maintenance in order to preserve its color, and it’s even created with UV inhibitors that prevent it from fading in the sun. Our synthetic turf products have dual-toned blades with brown thatch for an extremely natural appearance that will have all of your neighbors wondering how you maintain such a perfect lawn.

 Pet owners know for a fact that pests are the natural enemy of their furry friends. This is especially the case when dogs are playing on a natural grass lawn, as these lawns are a breeding ground for fleas, ticks, and countless other creatures. Synthetic grass lawns, including those installed by the experts at Grizzly Turf, are a perfect solution for getting rid of dangerous pests that can attach themselves to your dogs since artificial turf is virtually unsustainable for these creatures.

YOUR DOG WILL NEVER NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE

We love our dogs, but let’s face it; they aren’t always the brightest creatures, but we love them for it! This will actually work in your favor when switching to artificial turf. Artificial grass lawns have a color, texture, and shape that resembles natural grass enough for your dog to not notice that you’ve changed your lawn. Your companion will roll around the lawn, and you’ll rest easy knowing that your new synthetic turf can handle it and so much more!

 Dog owners everywhere can attest to how much they love their furry companions. It’s no secret that dogs are full of unconditional love and happiness, and they know nothing more than to enjoy life with their favorite people. However, dogs having an endless supply of joy also means that they have no sense of precaution, especially for your lawn. Natural grass can pose many risks to your dog’s health, which could result in the constant supervision of your dog. With an artificial turf lawn, pet hazards are a thing of the past. Here are three key reasons why your dog will thank you when you make the switch from natural grass to artificial grass on your lawn.

EASY TO MAINTAIN

The maintenance factor in switching to an artificial turf lawn is certainly a no-brainer; this is even more so when considering a synthetic grass lawn for your dogs. The bacteria and odor left behind by pet waste can cause significant damage to your natural grass lawn, even going as far as preventing future grass from growing! With an artificial turf lawn, pet waste damage is nonexistent, meaning that your furry friend can go out to frolic and take care of their business as much as they want without overwhelming you. Pet waste can simply be picked up and tossed away without worrying about any long-term effects. In addition, chemical treatments won’t be necessary to clean the affected area as most synthetic turf can be cleaned with soap and water. This will ensure maximum playtime for your dog with minimal effort afterward!

 LISTEN TO PREVIOUS CUSTOMERS

If you’re on the fence about choosing an artificial turf installer, pay attention to their reviews. A good synthetic turf landscaping company like Grizzly Turf will publicly post their testimonials for all to see. In addition, checking out reviews on third-party review sites like Yelp or Google should give you sufficient information as to whether or not an installer is trustworthy. When all else fails, nothing beats good, old-fashioned word of mouth; talk to your friends and neighbors with artificial turf installations and listen to what they have to say. Take a look at their lawns and ask as many questions as you can!

GATHER ALL OF THE FACTS

As soon as you’ve narrowed down your search to the installers you really have your eye on, the next step is to get as much information as possible on each company. Here are some factors to look for:

 It’s no secret that installing artificial turf for your home or business is an investment that pays for itself. However, the quality of the investment is only as good as the team responsible for installing it. Of course, you’ll want to make sure that your artificial turf installer has the reputation and product knowledge to get your project done. Here are some practical tips to find the perfect artificial grass installer for your residential or commercial project.

DO YOUR RESEARCH

Before putting pen to paper on any project, make sure you have done sufficient research on your artificial turf company. Some factors to consider in your research include:

Company history – How long has the company been in business? How much experience does the company’s team have? Newer companies may have installers who know the fundamentals of synthetic grass installation but lack experience, resulting in subpar work. This is an important detail as you’ll want a synthetic grass installer with the experience to work on the complexities of your yard.

Endorsement – Is your installer supported by the company you’re buying your artificial turf from? Most synthetic turf suppliers will have vendors that are covered under their manufacturer’s warranty, and choosing a company that is not endorsed by the supplier could compromise that warranty. Grizzly Turf has a vast selection of synthetic grass products to choose from, each backed by a 15-year warranty, so you won’t have to worry about this issue with us!

 KEEP TENSILE STRENGTH INTACT

Every artificial turf lawn has a varying degree of tensile strength — the synthetic grass’ ability to handle wear and tear for the life of the turf. UV rays can break down untreated artificial grass’ tensile strength, making it more susceptible to breakage. This is especially true for sports turf or artificial turf putting greens. UV-treated synthetic turf is perfect for outdoor event venues, soccer fields, and playgrounds!

KEEP YOUR FAMILY SAFE WITH UV-TREATED SYNTHETIC TURF

Once untreated artificial turf breaks down from prolonged exposure to the sun, it will begin to stretch out and sag. This sagging creates wrinkles, which can pose a grave threat to the safety of your family and guests who visit your home and spend time on your artificial grass lawn. By protecting your turf from UV rays, you maintain your synthetic turf’s structural integrity and keep your family safe.

No matter the reason for wanting artificial turf for your home or business, you certainly cannot go wrong with UV-stabilized synthetic turf, such as the products installed by the experts at Grizzly Turf. Our Diamond Light Fescue, Diamond Light Spring, Diamond Pro Spring, and Diamond Pro Fescue turf styles are each built with TigerCool technology, made with heat-reflective color pigments and advanced UV inhibitors that reduce the surface temperature of the artificial turf in your home or business. Additionally, our team of artificial grass installers works tirelessly to ensure a synthetic turf lawn that is beautiful, functional, and weather-resistant. Our UV-resistant artificial grass products, along with the rest of our lineup of world-class synthetic turf products, are backed by a 15-year warranty, granting you the peace of mind you deserve.

 Private putting greens have increased in popularity amongst property owners over recent years. However, it may seem impossible for homeowners with small yards to have their personal putting green due to a lack of space. 

Fortunately, this isn’t true, thanks to artificial grass. Artificial turf allows homeowners to have their own artificial grass putting green, no matter their yard’s size. 

Installing a synthetic grass putting green with limited space will require some creativity. Here are some ideas you can discuss with your artificial grass installer for your installation project. 

USE YOUR ENTIRE YARD

For the most immersive golfing experience, you can choose to use your entire yard for your artificial grass putting green. You would be maximizing your yard space and providing yourself with a fun challenge that will improve your putting game. 

CONNECT YOUR OUTDOOR SPACES

Homeowners with various unused outdoor spaces can come up with a synthetic grass putting green design that incorporates them all together. It can make for an unconventional golfing experience that resembles what you would find at a mini-golf course.  

A POOLSIDE PUTTING GREEN

Why not spice up your poolside area with an artificial turf putting green? It would give your pool area a unique aesthetic and provide you with something to do when you’re not relaxing in your swimming pool. 

As synthetic turf features excellent drainage, you will never have to worry about any slippage issues if water does get onto your artificial putting green. 

 A high-quality infill can contribute to a synthetic turf’s drainage efficiency helping facilitate seamless water flow throughout a surface. This will keep your artificial grass putting green dry and the ball speed consistent. 

POSITIONING

If not correctly installed, an artificial turf putting green can shift and change positioning when there is heavy wind or extreme heat. This can ruin your golfing experience and compromise the structural integrity of your putting green, drastically shortening its lifespan. 

Infill can be used to weigh down and secure your turf, preventing any movement from occurring no matter what the conditions are like. This will prevent your surface from wrinkling and allow your synthetic grass to remain smooth and consistent. 

CLEANLINESS

One of the many benefits of artificial grass putting greens is their cleanliness. While natural grass can be prone to mold and mildew growth when exposed to water, synthetic turf doesn’t suffer from this issue because of its hygienic properties and infill, which adds further bacterial protection. You’ll never have to worry about mold or bacteria staining your putting green and getting in the way of playing the game you love.
