Sunnyvale, CA – Google recently upgraded the outdoor amenities it offers employees at multiple office campuses in Sunnyvale, in the heart of Silicon Valley. SYNLawn Central California collaborated with Jensen Landscape and Maniglia Landscape on the project, installing commercial artificial turf in Sunnyvale to create two employee dog parks and a new fitness area.
Transforming Office Campus Spaces With Synthetic Turf
SYNLawn Central California has extensive experience transforming commercial spaces with premium synthetic turf. For this high-profile project, the team installed 3,255 square feet of SYNRye 200 for the recreation areas. This sustainable turf is made with SYNLawn’s exclusive plant-based EnviroLoc+™ Backing System, which helps extend the life of the turf. With an ASTM E108 Class A Fire Rating, it’s also one of the safest choices for a commercial property.
To support the new fitness area, the team also installed 2,600 square feet of Brock PowerBase/Play™ shock pads for added cushioning and support.
Pet-Friendly Artificial Grass for Employee Dog Parks
The two employee dog parks were built with 5,775 square feet of Pet Platinum, a resilient turf designed for pets of all sizes. Its Super Drain+™ Technology provides exceptional drainage to keep the dog parks free of muddy messes. Pet Platinum is also made with SYNLawn’s exclusive plant-based EnviroLoc+™ Backing System, which optimizes drainage for easier clean-up.
This pet turf is engineered with Super Yarn™ Technology, featuring Sanitized® Antimicrobial Technology, StatBlock™ anti-static protection, and DualChill™ IR-reflective properties for enhanced safety, comfort, and cleanliness. Its lower surface temperature also keeps the turf cool and comfortable for four-legged visitors, even on warm Bay Area afternoons.
A Sustainable Choice for Silicon Valley Workplaces
Using artificial grass for these employee green spaces is a more sustainable choice. Google will conserve valuable resources, since the turf needs no watering or mowing to stay green and pristine all year long. Reducing water use is especially important in a drought-prone state like California.
Additional benefits of synthetic surfacing for office campuses include:
- Non-toxic, lead-free materials provide a safer environment for employees and their pets.
- No harmful chemicals are needed to keep the turf pest-free.
- It’s safer than concrete or asphalt, absorbing shock to lessen the impact of falls and reduce injuries.
- Its smooth, stable surface is more accessible for employees with mobility challenges.
