EVERYTHING THAT GOES INTO ENVIROFILL HAS BEEN CAREFULLY CHOSEN FOR ITS SAFETY AND RELIABILITY.
The latest in infill product technology – a non-toxic, non-absorbent “synthetic soil” that’s pet- and environment-friendly, preventing bacteria growth. Envirofill’s trademark green silicone dioxide granules are cooler under sun than black crumb rubber and more sanitary than silica. Envirofill is a one-time application.
Inhibits pet urine odor---Microban significantly reduces pet urine odors by up to 99%. Microban has been scientifically proven to disrupt the bacteria process that coverts pet urine into ammonia odor. So be assured, Fido can go about his business worry-free.
It’s cleaner. Microban antimicrobial protection is infused into Envirofill during the manufacturing process to help prevent the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew that can cause stains, odors, and product deterioration.

HydroChill is a precoat that is applied to the sand infill. It is activated by adding moisture and can provide significant cooling for days, depending upon local conditions.
As the synthetic lawn surface is heated by the sun, moisture stored in HydroChill is released slowly through evaporative cooling. Evaporative cooling is the same means of thermoregulation that a body uses to cool itself through sweating. The evaporating moisture removes heat, leaving a cooler, more comfortable surface for families and pets.
The ambient temperature does not necessarily dictate surface temperature. The solar radiation time period, sun’s angle, cloud cover, wind, and other elements all contribute to the temperature of the surface.
HydroChill provides maximum benefit when the sun is directly overhead, as shown in the solar radiation calendar. During the summer months, the sun is positioned overhead, causing surfaces to absorb more energy, resulting in hotter temperatures. HydroChill works best during the hottest part of a clear day when relief is needed.
A standard lawn with a wet surface will cause some cooling, but temperatures can quickly rise and may exceed uncomfortable levels of heat. A HydroChill lawn has been shown to create a substantial temperature difference in real-world applications. Although results will vary due to geographic location and local conditions, HydroChill has achieved 30°F – 50°F lower surface temperatures compares to a standard synthetic lawn surface.
Keep your loved ones cool and comfortable with HydroChill.
– HydroChill will not affect the durability or warranty of Shawgrass products.
– HydroChill is UV-resistant and should be retreated every two years for maximum effectiveness.

Ahead of the Game, Synthetic Turf Maintenace will give you an unbiased, third Party Gmax testing which evaluates how your field is aging and analyzes surface hardness and shock-absorbing characteristics. As your field ages, it looses its ability to absorb shock due to high usage, compaction, and infill segregation. These values can be reduced by grooming or top dressing your field. For optimum synthetic turf playing field performance, fields should have Gmax results between 120 and 145. Experts recommend that it is best to have your field tested once a year

It is recommended that all fields be groomed every 150 to 200 hours of use. At a minimum, your field should be groomed several times during the periods of peak use and less often during down times. Specially designed brushes, which feature triangular arrangement, are pulled across the surface, lifting the fibers into a more upright orientation. Grooming services therefore straighten and groom each fiber for an attractive and realistic finish to the synthetic turf. Maximize This process helps maximize fiber lifespan and enhances field color vibrancy and overall field appearance. Brushes move surface infilll to areas which require attention after play, leaving you with a level and true playing surface. Grooming rejuvenates the fibers, which maximizes performance and keeps your field looking good longer. Regular grooming also gives your field extra padding, improves traction, and ensures proper drainage
