When it comes to our pets, they are more than just animals — they are cherished members of our families. As pet owners, we want to provide them with the best of everything, including a safe and enjoyable outdoor space. That's where pet-friendly landscaping comes into play, and Shawgrass Pet Turf is the solution to help you create a haven for your furry companions.
Intensive Testing for Optimal Performance
At Shawgrass, our innovations undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet customer needs before they hit the market. We are proud to be a part of Shaw Turf, the premier synthetic turf provider in North America, encompassing both Shawgrass for landscape turf and Shaw Sports Turf for high-performance sports turf. You might not know this, but Shaw Sports Turf can be found on athletic fields all across the country, including two NFL stadiums and four MLB stadiums. Just like how innovations in motorsport often transfer to consumer vehicles, our sports turf and landscape turf innovations complement each other seamlessly.
Our commitment to quality is reflected in the extensive testing our products undergo. Our new K9 Pet Turf and K9 Sand infill have been through comprehensive evaluations over the past year to ensure their high performance. This testing includes measures of fiber durability, strength, and UV resistance for the turf, as well as elemental composition, bulk density, water capacity, hydrophobicity, and cooling capacity for the infill. Additionally, the entire system, which includes the turf and infill, is assessed for drainage rates and foot-to-surface interactions.
Quality Materials for Quality Results
But what makes a turf product or infill system truly 'special'? The answer lies in comparing test results across various products. Over the years, we've evaluated numerous turfs and infills through standardized processes to compare performance characteristics among them. One critical aspect is the ability of artificial turf fibers to withstand high-wear environments. We assess this by measuring the strength of the fibers, the durability of fiber attachments, and how turf fibers hold up under UV exposure and mechanical stress.
For infill systems, the three key features are the ability to drain water quickly, hold water for evaporative cooling, and provide a comfortable feel underfoot. We conduct tests to understand how infills interact with water, heat, and play. Using our in-house rain and solar simulators, we evaluate how much water infills can absorb and how long they stay cool under intense simulated heat conditions. Our state-of-the-art infiltration system helps us understand how quickly water drains through the infill and turf backing to the base beneath. Additionally, we have mechanical tests in our lab to assess surface shock absorption, stiffness, and traction. These results are then compared with those of other products in the artificial turf industry.
Through this rigorous testing process, K9 Pet Turf and K9 Sand infill stood out as exceptional products. That's why we're thrilled to offer them as part of our landscape solutions.
