Sound Familiar?
Dogs Destroy Natural Grass
Dogs dig. Dogs run the same path until it's bare dirt. Muddy paws come inside. Natural grass and active dogs don't coexist well.
Odors & Bacteria Buildup
Natural grass and standard turf hold pet waste, bacteria, and odors. Without proper drainage and antimicrobial protection, your yard starts to smell.
Muddy Paws in the House
After every rain, your dog tracks mud through your home. Dog turf eliminates mud permanently, so your floors stay clean.
Bare Patches & Dead Spots
High-traffic dog runs kill natural grass fast. Dog turf stays lush and intact regardless of how many large dogs use it daily.
There's a better way to have a clean, safe, mud-free yard your dogs will love. Our pet turf and dog turf systems feature antimicrobial backing and a high-flow drainage system that eliminates liquids and odors fast — no more bare patches, mud puddles, or toxic chemicals tracked into your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does pet turf cost?
Most professionally installed artificial turf projects typically range from $8 to $15 or more per square foot. Pet systems sit toward the upper half of that range, because the antimicrobial backing and the drainage build cost more than a standard landscape install. Odor control infill is an optional add-on priced separately.
How do I clean up after my dogs on artificial turf?
Pick up solid waste promptly, then gently rinse the affected area with a garden hose. Rinse urine spots regularly and follow the care instructions for your turf and infill. Use compatible cleaning products as directed. Multiple dogs or frequent use may call for more cleaning.
Is pet odor-control infill the same as cooling infill?
No. Pet odor-control infill is an optional material selected to help manage pet odors. Cooling infill is a separate option intended to help reduce heat buildup, while TigerCool cooling technology is built into the yarn of select turf products. Ask us which options suit your dogs, yard, and chosen turf. Odor-control infill does not replace waste pickup and rinsing.
What makes dog turf different from regular lawn turf?
Dog turf is engineered for specific uses. It has antimicrobial backing and faster drainage to handle pet waste and odors. The fibers are reinforced to resist flattening from dog traffic. It is purpose-built — not just a different color of the same product. Whether you call it pet turf or dog turf, it is the same specialty surface designed for dogs.
Is dog turf safe for my dogs?
Yes, completely. Our dog turf uses non-toxic, lead-free materials with antimicrobial backing and drainage rates exceeding 30 inches per hour. It is genuinely cleaner and healthier than natural grass surfaces that hold pesticides, fertilizers, and pests. Your dogs will love it.
How does dog turf handle pet odors and drainage in Texas heat?
The antimicrobial backing inhibits odor-causing bacteria, and the perforated drainage backing moves liquids through at over 30 inches per hour. In Central Texas heat, where pet waste breaks down faster and odors intensify, this drainage rate matters more than it would in cooler climates. Occasional rinsing with a hose keeps the surface fresh.
Does dog turf get too hot in Austin's summer sun?
Yes. Artificial turf can become hot in direct sun, even with cooling technology. hello TURF offers cooling turf options on select products. Ask about TigerCool® Heat Reflective technology, which uses heat-reflective pigments in the yarn to help reduce heat buildup. It is not included with every installation. We will discuss product availability, shade and how you use your yard during your free consultation.
