Regardless of the climate, a professionally installed putting green or synthetic lawn will outperform traditional greens and lawns year after year. Simply put, you will not find a better synthetic turf system.

EXPERTS IN MANUFACTURING
So why are Southwest Greens the best? The Shaw Turf division houses the industry’s largest and most advanced sports science laboratory for product development and testing. The 13,000 square-foot Sports Science Laboratory includes cutting-edge testing equipment and a full-time staff creating and testing engineered synthetic turf solutions for multiple applications and markets.
Artificial turf products are designed and tested around athlete/surface and ball/surface interactions to ensure the right combination of safety, durability, and performance are met. Their facility also features over 18,000 square feet of on-site, outdoor field testing plots, so synthetic grass products are not only subjected to simulated testing but real-world exposure. Each blade maintains a real-life luster without fading in the sun, guaranteeing our synthetic turf products will never wilt and are always well-manicured, unlike real grass. Their environmentally-friendly products look, feel, and spring back just like natural grass. Plus, their signature collection of products are lead-free and 100 percent recyclable. Southwest Greens is the best synthetic turf system available and why Dakota Putting Greens is the exclusive partner in the Dakotas.
EASE OF MAINTENANCE FOR LUXURY LIVING
KID-SAFE, PET-FRIENDLY
The nature of our products eliminates itching, sneezing, and stains associated with real grass. Our artificial turf solutions eliminate the need to expose loved ones and pets to harmful chemicals necessary to treat natural grass. Our synthetic grass can also be designed for extra-soft, fall-safe ASTM-compliant landings.
Have pets? Our synthetic grass backing system is made with urethane technology allowing superior flow-through for drainage without the mud. Smells and unsightly dead spots will be a thing of the past. Synthetic turf also keeps fleas and ticks away, giving you peace of mind while saving money.
THE GREEN ALTERNATIVE
Environmentally-friendly, our signature collection of products conserve water, eliminate the use of fertilizers and pesticides, and are heavy metal-free. Plus, it’s the only synthetic grass that uses 100 percent recyclable materials! Despite the preliminary cost, homeowners, business owners, and municipal managers experience long term savings. Based on customers’ reports, most estimate a two to five-year payback on their synthetic grass investment. Installing artificial grass solutions saves millions of gallons of water each year and reduces pollution byproducts due to mowing equipment use.
