BeRmuDa LX Cost per square foot: $4.98 ease/cost of installation: The cost varies per project. See "SYNTipede 354/ Synlawn Pet Premium" above for details of installation. what kinds of surfaces can it be installed over? Concrete, the company's panel sub-base, or a crushed aggregate base. manufacturer: Crystal Products website: www.syntheticturfsolutions. com/products/pet-products/bermudaseries/bermuda-lx Description: Bermuda LX is in theory identical to the SYNLawn products mentioned earlier; however, there seem to be some slight differences. This particular product is notable largely because it is the artificial turf used for agility at Purina Farms and many agility trials occur there. It weighs 5 pounds per square yard and has a 10-year limited liability warranty according to a Synthetic Turf Solutions representative (their website says only 9 years). How does it handle drainage? Over an aggregate base, it drains at a rate of over 30" per hour per square yard. The panels drain at over 900" per hour per square yard. Recommended procedure for cleaning up spills and accidents? You can hose it down and the company sells a deodorizer/disinfectant that can be used if it seems necessary. Recommended weekly cleaning procedure: If it hasn't rained, hose it down.
