Come spring, customers of Xtreme Green Synthetic Turf get to leave muddy shoe and dog prints outside their doors, without even having to first catch kids and dogs to wipe them off.
"Spring months are tough times for pet-related conditions. We're coming off of melting snow, and then straight into showers of April and May. We keep very busy replacing backyard and side yards with our Softlawn synthetic turf, helping homeowners keep the inside of their houses cleaner. Plus, it's just nice to look outside and see a fresh green area, despite weather challenges," says Alan Grammer, owner of Xtreme Green Synthetic Turf, a company that services the St. Louis metropolitan region for both residential and commercial projects.
The Xtreme team indicates their turf also is a viable option for anyone who happens to have a lawn situation that makes grass growth difficult, such as heavily wooded or rocky lots. They work with architects, developers and project managers to develop practical surface solutions, too.
Alan says they excavate 4 inches of dirt and then create a customized, permeable rock/sand drainage layer, similar to how French drains work. With the environmentally friendly synthetic turf then placed over the area, he says 2 or 3 inches of snow melts visibly quicker than if it were left on the ground. "Also, in a 2-inch downpour of rain, our turf typically dries within an hour," he adds.
Popular dog behaviorist Cesar Millan endorses artificial grass, Alan notes, even having it installed at his dog psychology center. Cesar is widely known for his television series Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan, which was broadcast in more than 100 countries worldwide.
Alan says the company started in 1997 by constructing state-of-the-art artificial putting turfs. "We now build safer, more durable playgrounds for parks and children daycares, pet turf at homes, doggie daycare facilities and dog parks for apartment complexes. And we install top-of-the-line turf for indoor sports facilities. Anything you want to do with artificial turf, we can do," he proudly states.
They even construct turf areas on roof tops.
More specifically, Xtreme teams take care of batting cages, athletic training applications, driving ranges, putting greens, hitting mats, playgrounds and other recreational areas. "We also provide traction areas around swimming pools and hot tubs," says Alan.
During the pandemic period with more homeowners updating their amenities, Alan says they constructed a significant number of synthetic turf bocce ball courts and putting greens.
Some customers indicate online that they turn to turf for economic reasons. "Replacing natural grass with artificial grass can reduce your water usage by more than 80% each year, and you'll also save on energy bills," says Alan.
He adds that Xtreme Green Synthetic Turf specialists provide complimentary project estimates for their services and products, which can be applied by both indoors and outdoors.
