Dog yard smell gets worse in the heat, not better. A flat turf base with no drainage just traps urine right under the surface, and Marana summers cook that smell into something you can't ignore anymore.

Pet turf installation isn't a color choice, it's a drainage and odor-control system. Marana Artificial Turf Pros builds the base with flow-through capacity and antimicrobial infill so liquid actually moves away instead of sitting.

How it works

How our Pet Turf Installation process works

Step 1
Odor control assessment
The area is evaluated for drainage needs related to pet waste and moisture control.
Step 2
Base drainage layer
A high-flow drainage base is installed to quickly move liquid away from the surface.
Step 3
Antimicrobial backing prep
Turf backing treated for odor resistance is prepared before placement.
Step 4
Pet turf installation
Durable, pet-friendly turf is laid and secured across the designated area.
Step 5
Odor-neutralizing infill
Infill designed to reduce bacteria growth is applied evenly across the surface.
Step 6
Rinse 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 running, holding up to dogs even on Marana's hottest afternoons.
Antimicrobial infill
Infill treated to resist bacteria buildup, which matters most once temperatures push past 100°F for weeks at a stretch.
High-flow drainage base
A specialized base layer moves liquid waste through fast instead of letting it pool and bake.
Odor-control backing
Backing material treated to cut down on lingering smell between cleanings.
Reinforced seam tape
Extra-strength seaming tape handles the wear of dogs running the same path daily.
Perimeter flush channels
Edge channels direct liquid waste toward drainage points instead of fence lines.

FAQs

Pet Turf Installation FAQs

Can artificial turf handle dog urine and odor in a desert climate?

When the base has proper drainage and the infill is antimicrobial or zeolite-based. A flat, undrained base is what causes most odor complaints, not the turf itself.

Does artificial turf need infill, and what kind is best for heat?

Infill is necessary for blade support and odor control. For pet areas in hot climates, zeolite or antimicrobial blends outperform standard sand infill.

How much more does pet turf cost compared to standard turf?

Pet turf typically costs more per square foot due to the added drainage layer and specialty infill, though the difference is usually modest compared to total project cost.

How often does pet turf infill need replacing?

Most pet infill lasts a few years before needing a top-off, depending on how many dogs use the area and how often it gets rinsed.

Will pet turf smell bad in summer without maintenance?

Any pet surface needs occasional rinsing regardless of drainage quality. Proper drainage just keeps the smell from building up between cleanings.
