While the term “artificial grass” still might make you think of the fake-looking, scratchy plastic turf of yesteryear, modern turf is actually much different in reality. Not only does it look and feel natural, but it is also significantly safer, as well. SYNLawn of Los Angeles has so much to offer the community – and your family. Our artificial grass not only exceeds California’s lead safety standards (there is less lead in our grass than in a typical glass of drinking water), but we have also engineered our grass to provide physical safety for all family members.
Fall Safety. The International Playground Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA) has approved six playground installation methods using SYNLawn artificial grass. This is the perfect grass to use around playgrounds and tire swings, or in any area children might frequent. Optional TrampleZones™ further increase safety and allow for easy grass replacement in high foot traffic areas.

Fire Safety. In July of 2015, the Cosmopolitan hotel’s pool deck in Las Vegas caught fire. Hotel guests scrambled to safety as thick black plumes of smoke billowed out into the air. Fortunately, the hotel installed SYNLawn’s SYNRye 211, which boasts a Class A fire protection rating, just two years prior. While decorative palm trees and other pool décor were lost to the fire, the SYNRye 211 simply turned black and melted without ever catching the flame. This is the kind of safety SYNLawn wants to provide each and every business and family in Los Angeles. Fire safety and prevention are so important, especially during drought season when natural grass becomes brown and turns to kindling. It is important to know your grass is manufactured not only with your health in mind, but with the safety of your environment as our first priority, too.
Pet Safety. Dogs can be unpredictable when left unattended in the yard. While most dog food brands (and handouts at the dinner table) offer pets a balanced diet with all necessary nutrients, many dogs will still seek out grass to eat afterward. Why does this happen? One proposed idea is that grass is a natural way to alleviate a gassy or upset stomach. Other sources state dogs simply like the texture or the taste of grass, or even that this is an evolutionary vestige left over from days when dogs roamed wild. Whatever the reason, many pets end up unknowingly eating chemicals along with their impromptu afternoon snack. Common weed killers and pesticides used to keep natural grass green are toxic for dogs. Artificial grass offers an easy solution to keep your dog healthy and happy longer.
