Eco Waterless Grass

Eco Waterless Grass now providing Drainage Mats!

admin — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 17:19:26 +0000

American Wick Drain has been a leader in prefabricated drainage systems for many years and has developed a full coverage drainage system that provides exceptional drainage on high-performance artificial turfs. When synthetic turfs are used, drainage is a very important aspect of the entire system. To help drain the turf, traditionally stone was used to provide an adequate drainage layer. Unfortunately, to get adequate drainage, 4 to 6 inches of stone had to be incorporated into the design. To do this, extra excavation and grading were required resulting in higher costs. Drainage Mats can be used under synthetic turf or natural turf and won’t leave an uneven surface! Here at Eco Waterless Grass, we only want to provide our customers with the best of the best and are proud to feature American Wick’s EXCELDRAIN Mat as part of our product line.
This newly featured drainage Mat offer significant advantages over stone base applications:
Superior flow – EXCELDRAIN’s half inch design can collect and transport 16 gallons per minute per foot of width which is superior to 4 inches of stone which can only handle 3-5 gallons of water per minute per foot of width. This also provides a superior rainfall evacuation rate which reduces the wait time before using the field after a rain event.
Enhanced G-Max Performance –Eco Waterless Grass loves that the EXCELDRAIN mat also provides a high compressive strength structure that allows the water to flow under the turf yet it enhances the G-Max performance without changing the ball action or causing injury to the players during play.
Easy to install - EXCELDRAIN Turf Drain comes in rolls of 4 foot widths and up to 120 foot long for easy handling and installation.

It can be installed two ways for natural turf fields.
Vertical Installation: Similar to a French drain system, the EXCELDRAIN EX-T Strip Drain is installed to maximize the surface area contact with the soils below to help collect water through areas that are draining improperly.
Horizontal Installation: For athletic fields, some designs design for our product to be used horizontally to minimize sub base disruption.

Consumer Product Safety is Important!

admin — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 17:51:14 +0000

Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act
Excerpt Regarding Lead and Artificial Grass

The amount of lead that can be in artificial grass is governed by Section 101 – Children’s Products Containing Lead; Lead Pain Rule – of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act.

The limits specified by Section 101 are phased in over three (3) years. Products that contain more than 600 PPM (parts per million) of lead after February 10, 2009 are banned from sale in the United States and sales of such products will result in significant civil and criminal liability. That limit drops to 300 PPM in August of 2009 and 100 PPM in August of 2010.

However, additional (more restrictive rules) apply to paint and similar surface-coating materials for consumer use (which would be applicable to artificial grass). As of August 14th, 2009 the limit becomes 90 PPM.
All Eco Waterless Grass artificial grasses and artificial putting greens meet these requirements!

Beautiful? Yes! Artificial? You betcha!

According to a recent MSN Real Estate article, “It wasn’t Astroturf, exactly, but long, smooth blades of grass that looked exactly like real grass but happened to be plastic. It had been laid down like a carpet, over prepared ground. She hosed it off sometimes, and it drained itself. It wasn’t cheap, but given that she didn’t have to mow, water, reseed or fertilize, it would pay for itself in eight years. And then there was the peace of mind, the quiet and the conservation of water.” Wallace Stegner writes about his experience with installing an artificial grass lawn in his backyard.
The variety of options is endless, “You can get synthetic lawn that’s late-summer long or putting-green short or somewhere in between. You can get dark green or light green, depending on the kind of grass that grows near you. You can even choose the color of the springy underlayer. Ours has variegated strands ― some dark, some light ― and looks especially real.” Southern Californian grass likes to grow a light green and yellow color, and of course wouldn’t look natural without a little brown in it. Eco Waterless Grass has an option for that! Just check out their Nature’s Sod Line.
Stegner continues to say, “The best part? No pouring clean water onto the grass. No burning gasoline to mow it. No fertilizer running into the sea.” Think of all the extra time and money you will have at your disposal. This miracle grass will pay for itself!
A woman who also made a comment on the article said, “People will stop and stare and say how magnificent your lawn is. And you don’t have to tell anyone it’s fake. I always do, in the same way I blurt out that the dress I’ve been complimented on cost $19. But you can just let people think you have a very green thumb, and a silent, invisible mower. You can act like a girl in a real designer dress, and just say thank you.” Eco Waterless Grass’s grass gives you the freedom because it does look so unbelievably real.

Soutwestern Sod SPORT is an excellent olive bi-color artificial grass product.

It is an excellent choice for indoor soccer arenas, agility training areas, batting cages, as a golf fringe, etc. This product is made from the same yarn as our Southwestern Sod – but done in a very low pile height (1.125″, 28mm) – to provide a very dense, artificial grass playing surface.
