EXTEND THE SEASON
Make the most of your event season at your luxury Pittsburgh locations with synthetic grass landscaping. Our turf offers superior drainage, dependable footing, and very little to no care. Common grounds, outdoor venues, and wedding destinations can all be improved upon with synthetic turf. Perfect for congested commercial areas or event-designed amenities, the environmental benefits of artificial grass and turf solutions translate into meaningful cost savings over natural sod maintenance for real grass.
SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS
Shaw Industries, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., and Southwest Greens International cooperate to make a terrific team. Shaw is committed to designing the most appealing and sustainable flooring and artificial turf surfaces across the globe, and Southwest Greens Pittsburgh follows suit.
Rooted in our passion to continuously enhance every aspect of our business, the Shaw Green Edge guides everything we do. From holding the highest ethical standards to protecting the health and safety of our people and our communities, Southwest Greens Pittsburgh won’t stop striving to be the best. We focus on saving energy by recycling raw materials and designing cradle-to-cradle products that can be remade over and over.
SMART TEMPERATURES
HydroChill® is a proprietary non-toxic, odorless additive that cools surface temperatures considerably when hydrated. Developed after years of research through independent field testing, this invention demonstrates our commitment to leadership and raising the bar.
Our patented improvement to the turf’s filling provides an average cooling range of 30-50 degrees, functioning normally when watered wet by irrigation, rainfall, and dew. Feet and paws feel the difference Southwest Greens Pittsburgh provides.
