Artificial grass landscaping is becoming an increasingly popular landscaping choice for <\/span>Dallas<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Fort Worth<\/span><\/a> pet owners because of the practicality and durability it offers. However, we\u2019ve found that many pet owners considering installation are concerned that their lawns will begin to smell. While it\u2019s technically possible for this to happen, following the proper installation and maintenance techniques will ensure that there\u2019s nothing to be concerned about.<\/span><\/p>\n

Install a Permeable Sub-Base & Only One Weed Membrane<\/b><\/h2>\n

You can set yourself up for odor-free success from the start by ensuring that your artificial grass is installed correctly. Whether you\u2019re hiring a professional turf installer or doing it yourself, make sure that your turf is installed with a permeable sub-base. This will allow liquid to drain freely through your turf, moving it away from your property and ensuring that there\u2019s no odor buildup from stagnant pet urine or other waste. We also recommend installing only one weed membrane layer before the sub-base installation and foregoing a second layer on top of the laying course. While great for preventing weeds, this second layer will potentially absorb your pet\u2019s urine and cause odors to form over time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Add Pet-Friendly TurFill Infill<\/b><\/h2>\n

One of the most effective ways to eliminate pet odors is by installing your turf lawn with a pet-friendly, odor-neutralizing infill. TurFresh\u2019s proprietary <\/span>TurFill infill<\/span><\/a> completely neutralizes pet odors by breaking down the ammonia and proteins in urine, eliminating the smell at the source rather than simply masking it. If your turf was installed with any other type of infill, don\u2019t worry \u2014 you can replace your infill at any time and make the switch to TurFill, or you can top up your existing infill with TurFill during your regular synthetic grass maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rinse Your Lawn Regularly<\/b><\/h2>\n

One of the many practical benefits of artificial turf is that you don\u2019t need to water it to keep it lush and green. However, occasionally rinsing your lawn is a beneficial step in your turf maintenance routine. Dust and debris can collect on your turf and between the blades, impeding drainage slightly. Dry spells can also cause urine to sit underneath your turf and begin to smell if it isn\u2019t properly flushed away. Luckily, rinsing your turf only takes a couple of minutes and is a quick and easy way to prevent any odors. You can also finish off by applying a layer of <\/span>TurFresh BioS+<\/span><\/a> turf disinfectant. Our non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and biodegradable artificial turf disinfectant works by breaking down the ammonia and proteins in pet urine to remove odors and stains rather than covering them up. The siphon sprayer makes it easy to apply around your lawn, and it\u2019s safe for both kids and pets since it\u2019s an entirely all-natural formula.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
