Dog owners usually call about the same two things: worn dirt patches and a smell that won't go away. Drexel Heights Artificial Turf Pros builds pet turf systems around drainage first, because that's the actual fix.
The difference between pet turf and standard turf isn't marketing. It's a perforated backing and a free-draining base that lets urine flow through instead of pooling in the fibers.

Installation Process
- Odor control assessment — The area is evaluated for drainage needs related to pet waste and moisture control.
- Base drainage layer — A high-flow drainage base is installed to quickly move liquid away from the surface.
- Antimicrobial backing prep — Turf backing treated for odor resistance is prepared before placement.
- Pet turf installation — Durable, pet-friendly turf is laid and secured across the designated area.
- Odor-neutralizing infill — Infill designed to reduce bacteria growth is applied evenly across the surface.
- Rinse and drainage test — The area is tested with water flow to confirm proper drainage performance, a step worth doing given how dry Pima County soil gets between monsoons.

FAQs
Pet Turf FAQs
Is pet turf really different from regular turf, or is that a sales gimmick?
It's a real difference. Pet turf uses perforated backing and a free-draining base so liquid waste moves through instead of sitting in the fibers, which standard turf setups aren't built for.
Can artificial turf handle dog urine without smelling?
With the right drainage base and odor-control infill, yes. The smell problem usually comes from a base that traps moisture, not the turf material itself.
How often does pet turf infill need to be refreshed?
Most yards go a couple of years before a top-off, depending on how many dogs use the space daily.
Does pet turf cost more than standard backyard turf?
Usually more per square foot because of the drainage backing and specialty infill, but it's less than dealing with a recurring odor problem down the line.
Can pet turf be installed in just part of the yard?
A lot of homeowners section off a dedicated dog run and keep standard turf or landscaping elsewhere.
