Why does the yard smell worse every August? Desert heat intensifies pet urine odor fast, and standard lawn turf without the right drainage base holds that smell right at the surface. Casas Adobes Artificial Turf Pros builds pet turf with a high-flow drainage layer and odor-control infill underneath, so liquid moves through the base instead of sitting on top of it.
This isn't the same product as a standard backyard lawn. Pet turf uses thicker backing, different infill chemistry, and a base built specifically to drain fast during monsoon downpours and daily dog use alike.

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 are designed to withstand pet activity, digging, and daily wear in a Casas Adobes backyard.
Antimicrobial infill
Infill treated to resist bacteria and odor buildup from pet waste, which matters more once temperatures climb.
High-flow drainage base
A specialized base layer allows rapid drainage of liquid waste, built thicker than a standard turf base.
Odor-control backing
Backing material is treated to minimize lingering pet odors that regular turf backing traps.
Reinforced seam tape
Extra-strength seaming tape withstands high pet traffic areas where dogs run the fence line.
Perimeter flush channels
Edge channels direct liquid waste toward designated drainage points for easier hose-down cleaning.

FAQs
Pet Turf Installation FAQs
How do you keep artificial turf from smelling with dogs?
It comes down to drainage and infill, not the turf fibers themselves. A high-flow base layer moves liquid through instead of letting it pool, and antimicrobial infill cuts down bacteria growth that causes odor.
What's underneath pet turf for drainage?
We install a high-flow aggregate base layer with perforated backing turf on top, built to move water and waste through the system quickly rather than trapping it near the surface.
How much does pet turf cost compared to standard turf?
Pet turf runs higher than standard lawn turf because of the drainage base and specialty infill. The exact difference depends on yard size and how much drainage work the existing soil needs.
Can artificial turf handle monsoon rain with multiple dogs?
When the drainage base is built correctly. Standard turf bases can pool water during heavy monsoon downpours, but a properly compacted drainage layer handles both rain and daily pet waste.
Is DIY pet turf installation a good idea?
DIY kits usually skip the drainage base entirely, which is the part that actually controls odor. Without it, most DIY pet turf jobs end up smelling within a season regardless of the turf quality used.
Do I need a permit for pet turf installation?
Most pet turf jobs don't need a permit since it's a surface-level installation, though significant grading changes to direct drainage may fall under Pima County review.
