well will it stand the test of time? How clean will it be? How well will it drain? How much is it all going to cost? Each different type of surface material passes some of these tests, but only a proper artificial playground turf system gives you the answer that you want to hear in each of

these categories. Genesis Turf has taken artificial playground turf a step further with our 5 step playground safety system. Let’s take a closer look at how our 5 steps exceed expectations and flawlessly surpass ASTM and IPEMA standards.

Part 1: Our Powerful Drainage Base Works Wonders

The first step in our playground safety system may very well be the most important when it comes to stability and cleanliness. Genesis Turf uses an advanced drainage rock base as the foundation to our system. This foundation can drain at rates that exceed 45 inches an hour. As a result, your kids stay cleaner, unlike traditional rubber, dirt, or mulch surfaces which puddle water at the surface and create an unsightly, muddy messes. In addition, Genesis Turf artificial playground grass dries faster than any other surface. This allows your kids access to the playground immediately following rainfall without worrying about getting messy or losing traction.

Part 2: Playground Safe Padding Protects your Little Ones

Genesis Turf proprietary Play-SmartPadding is the best in the business at keeping your kids free from danger. It acts as a shock-absorbing layer that cushions against any slips or falls. This padding meets ASTM F1292 requirements for a fall from 12 feet high. Our premium safety system will dramatically reduce injury and keep your kids protected. Play-Smart Padding also helps our playground safety system meet requirements for certification ASTM F1487-17 from the International Play Equipment Manufacturers Associations (IPEMA). Parents, teachers, caretakers and loved ones can be rest assured when their kids are swinging from the jungle-gym above Genesis Play-Smart Padding.

Part 3: Genesis Air-Drain System Speeds Up Drying

The third piece of the artificial grass puzzle comes in the form of Genesis Turf Air Drain System. This system targets difficult to drain terrain and gets rid of those poor drainage areas. The system’s enhanced drainage technology ensures that every blade of your artificial grass is safe and dry when those recess bells ring. Because safety is our priority, we’ve even added another layer of padded protection within the Air-Drain System to increase shock absorbency. This will also benefit your bottom line, as this layer allows you to meet demanding ASTM fall-height requirements without adding excess layers of padding.

Why Artificial Pet Turf is Growing in Popularity

If you own a dog, a veterinary clinic, or manage a dog park, you understand why maintaining a pristine

Genesis Artificial Pet Turf

lawn or grass area can be next to impossible. You have ideas for making your lawn beautiful, but so does

your pup. His likely involves digging holes, creating pathways, and marking his territory—yours are probably a little different. For those of us who want to have a beautiful lawn and own 1 (or 10) dogs, there is still hope. Artificial Pet Turf provides a surface that looks and feels like a 100% natural, well-maintained lawn without the drawbacks. We’ll explore 5 reasons why you and your furry friends will love Artificial Pet Turf.

Long Lasting, Resilient, and Soft

The durability of artificial dog turf is one of its best qualities. You will benefit from turf that can last up to 20 years with minimal to zero maintenance. It stands up strong against years of use and unlike mulch, dirt, or natural grass; your pup won’t create unsightly pathways as she travels along her favorite route to the fence. In addition, the surface will stay even and smooth, even against tough use. You won’t have to worry about tripping into a rut that your doggy seemingly set as a trap for you, and she won’t be digging holes under the fence. Your dog will love rolling around in the soft, smooth artificial grass (and so can you, if that’s your thing. It’ll feel great).

It’s Simple to Clean Up After Your Pup

Not only does artificial pet grass stay cleaner, longer, but it’s also simple to clean and deodorize. Simply scoop up pet droppings the same way you would on a normal lawn and then hose off your turf (is needed). Superior drainage and modern layering allows artificial turf to drain quickly and efficiently so urine won’t cause a problem. If for some reason the area your dog loves to mark has any kind of lingering odor, you can give it a spray off with a garden hose and you’re done!

While we’re on the subject of cleaning, let’s talk about the mud and dirt that accumulates all over your dog’s paws and claws after a rainstorm or just a vigorous run through the yard. It’s one of the biggest downfalls to owning a pet, and no one likes it when their pup runs into the house covered in mud or dirt. Artificial turf eliminates mud entirely, and its advanced drainage system keeps your yard mud puddle free. It also offers an area free of fleas, ticks, and other lawn pests!

Less Maintenance Means Less Expense

The amount of money you’ll save over the years by using artificial pet turf is one of the best reasons to invest in it as soon as possible. By cutting out any lawn mowing and weed-whacking, you save money on not only the heavy duty equipment needed, but also the mounting, continued costs of oil, fuel, and maintenance on each piece of equipment. Plus the time you would normally spend on lawn upkeep can be spent taking your dog for a walk as an owner, running your veterinary/doggie day care, or advertising if you run a dog park.

If you live in a dry climate or have ever had a dry spell, you’ve likely had to invest in a sprinkler system, but with artificial pet grass you can toss it by the wayside. In addition, you’ll be saving the accumulative water costs for an extended period of time. Other than cleaning pet waste, the only maintenance needed is a quick, periodic sweep of a leaf blower to remove any debris.

Chemical Free and Safe for All Pets

Your beautiful, lush artificial grass is actually safer for your pet in many ways. It is designed with

antimicrobial, non-toxic fibers so that each synthetic blade is safe for your pet. You will also be discarding any dangerous fertilizers, insecticides, and weed killers as you’ll no longer need to use them, and you’ll never have to worry about ticks or fleas infiltrating your yard and clinging onto your pup. If installed by Genesis Turf, you will also have the benefit of ZeoFill Infill. This is the number one infill available for pets. ZeoFill is 100% organic, pet safe, and will not allow for odor build up.

A Professional Look Year Round

In the middle of the winter your dog won’t be walking along rough dirt and rocks, and you won’t be staring at a desolate wasteland for a yard. Artificial turf allows you to have a professional looking lawn year-round without all of the associated maintenance and costs. In addition, it’s simple to install and can be done in a matter of days. Your furry friends agree—this one is a no-brainer.

How Commercial Artificial Grass Can Benefit your Business

How Commercial Artificial Grass Can Benefit your Business

Artificial Grass has come a long way in recent years. Gone are the times when someone had the

Commercial Grade Artificial Turf

ability point out artificial turf next to its natural cousin. Now the only thing that is apparent is how lush and rich your artificial grass looks, and how indistinguishable it is from that well-kept natural lawn across the street. Unlike your neighbor, your professional landscape is bringing in business without any of the extra maintenance, water use, or time and money spent keeping it pristine. When it comes to commercial artificial turf, the five benefits below make it a cost-effective no brainer.

Less Maintenance Means Less Expense

To create a thriving small business, you’ve got to have a great sense of time management and be astute when it comes to expenses. If you are provided a tool that decreases costs, saves time, and improves your overall product, it is a rare opportunity that shouldn’t be passed up. With artificial turf, you can virtually eliminate your need for maintenance. Mowing the lawn becomes a thing of the past. As a result, you can save time spent cutting grass and the money spent on weed-whackers and mowers—not to mention the fuel, oil, and upkeep costs. In addition, any sprinkler systems can be tossed by the wayside, and you’ll be saving money on any associated water costs.

Maintenance for artificial turf consists of a quick run through with an electric leaf-blower if debris starts to pile up (or even just picking up a few twigs on the way out the door). Opportunity cost is real, and there is no reason you should be maintaining your lawn (or paying someone else to) when you could be courting customers or working hard on issues that are important to your business.

Professional Appearance

They say that you can’t judge a book by its cover, but we are all guilty of doing it time and time again. A shoddy lawn is going to turn away customers, especially if you own a landscaping business. In turn, a green, well-kept lawn shows your customers that you pay attention to detail and are professional in everything you do. Artificial turf is a form of advertisement that pays off immensely.

Clean, Safe, and Sound

Commercial artificial turf provides your business with a spotless environment that can help prevent injuries. Artificial grass is made with soft, synthetic blades that decrease the likelihood of injury in the event that anyone trips on your property. In addition, the chance that anyone falls is lessened because unlike gravel, mulch, or regular grass, artificial turf does not displace or wear down and will never have any ruts or divots to catch anyone’s feet. Unsightly pathways will never be created if someone decides to cut through your lawn.

When it rains, it pours, and that’s a big problem for traditional surfaces. Mud makes your business an unappealing venture, and mud being tracked on your carpets and floors makes your entryway a dangerous, muddy mess. Artificial grass prevents that problem with superior drainage capabilities that prevent puddles, mud, and the disease-carrying insects that often accompany those problems.

Go Green in More Ways than One

By upgrading your landscape with artificial grass, you can help save the environment—and you can let your customers know

Commercial Grade Artificial Turf

about your effort to go green. The lack of regular lawn maintenance will reduce emissions and conserve fossil fuels, as you’ll never be running a weed-whacker or lawn mower. More importantly, you will be conserving an amazing amount of water. You

will never have to run another sprinkler system, and rainwater will drain immediately below the surface. Just as importantly, many townships and cities provide tax incentives through rebates for water conservation, and they may pay you for every square foot of artificial grass in use.

A Cost Effective Maneuver

When it comes to durability, commercial artificial turf is top of the line. With proper (minimal) maintenance, artificial turf can last 26+ years. That’s an incredible investment that will continue to pay off year after year. You are also cutting costs on any tools and equipment that you would normally use, and you don’t need employ someone to create a masterpiece of your lawn—it does that itself. Throw in the tax benefits, cleanliness, safety, and ability to bring in customers, and you’ll be congratulating yourself on making such a shrewd business decision every time you walk across your lawn.
