Pet turf solves a problem standard lawn turf doesn't: odor buildup from pet waste in Arizona heat. El Mirage artificial turf installs a dedicated drainage base and odor-control infill system designed for dogs using the yard every day, not standard turf stretched to cover a pet area.

Desert heat accelerates odor if the drainage layer isn't right. A high-flow base and antimicrobial infill combination is what actually controls smell, not just rinsing the surface.

FAQs

Pet turf installation FAQs

How do you keep pet turf from smelling in the heat?

A high-flow drainage base paired with antimicrobial infill moves liquid waste away from the surface quickly, which is what actually prevents odor buildup, not just surface rinsing.

What base material do installers use under turf in the Valley?

Pet turf uses a deeper, high-flow drainage base layer than standard turf, usually paired with perforated backing for faster liquid flow-through.

How much does pet turf cost compared to standard turf?

Pet turf typically runs $9–$13 per square foot, a premium over standard turf due to the added drainage base and antimicrobial infill.

Can pet turf handle multiple dogs?

Reinforced seaming and a durable turf blend hold up under multi-dog households with heavier daily use.

Does pet turf need special cleaning?

Occasional rinsing and infill refresh keeps odor control working well over time, similar to standard turf maintenance.
