Standard lawn turf and pet turf are not the same product. Dogs need fast drainage so waste doesn't sit in the base, and Scottsdale's heat speeds up odor if that drainage isn't right. Scottsdale Artificial Turf Pros installs perforated backing, a high-flow drainage layer, and antimicrobial infill built specifically for pet waste in hot, dry climates.
This is the service homeowners call for when an existing lawn or old turf install smells after a hose-down, or when they're putting in turf from scratch for a yard that sees daily dog traffic.

How Our Pet Turf Installation Process Works
Step 1Odor control assessment
The area is evaluated for drainage needs related to pet waste and moisture control.
Step 2Base drainage layer
A high-flow drainage base is installed to quickly move liquid away from the surface.
Step 3Antimicrobial backing prep
Turf backing treated for odor resistance is prepared before placement.
Step 4Pet turf installation
Durable, pet-friendly turf is laid and secured across the designated area.
Step 5Odor-neutralizing infill
Infill designed to reduce bacteria growth is applied evenly across the surface.
Step 6Rinse and drainage test
The area is tested with water flow to confirm proper drainage performance.
Materials
Materials and Methods for Pet Turf Installation
Pet-friendly turf blades
Thicker, resilient fibers withstand digging and daily pet activity without matting down.
Antimicrobial infill
Infill treated to resist bacteria and odor buildup from pet waste, which matters more in Scottsdale's heat than in cooler climates.
High-flow drainage base
A specialized base layer allows rapid drainage of liquid waste instead of letting it pool and bake.
Odor-control backing
Backing material treated to minimize lingering pet odors between cleanings.
Reinforced seam tape
Extra-strength seaming tape withstands high-traffic areas where dogs run the fence line.
Perimeter flush channels
Edge channels direct liquid waste toward designated drainage points instead of toward the house.

Pet Turf Installation FAQs
Does artificial turf actually stop dog odor?
Odor control comes from drainage and infill, not the turf fiber itself. A proper high-flow base and antimicrobial infill are what keep odor from building up over time.
How do you clean pet turf in hot weather?
Regular hosing combined with an enzyme-based cleaner handles most odor buildup. Heat accelerates bacteria growth, so routine rinsing matters more here than in milder climates.
What's the cost difference between standard turf and pet turf?
Pet turf runs higher than standard lawn turf because of the extra drainage base and antimicrobial infill. Request a free estimate for an exact comparison on your yard.
Can pet turf handle multiple large dogs?
With reinforced seaming and a properly sized drainage base. Multiple-dog households sometimes benefit from the optional perimeter flush channel.
Is DIY pet turf installation a good idea?
Drainage slope and base depth are the two things DIY installs most often get wrong, and that's exactly what causes smell within a few months.
