A practical guide to pet turf drainage, base preparation, infill, odor control and cleaning for North Texas dog owners.
Build pet turf for drainage first
Dog-friendly artificial grass needs a permeable system beneath the surface. The existing grade, compacted base, drainage path and turf backing should work together so liquid can move through instead of collecting in low spots.
Choose turf and infill for dogs
Blade shape and pile height affect feel and cleanup, while the right infill helps support fibers and manage everyday use. Product choice should also reflect the number and size of dogs, shade, traffic and how often the area can be rinsed.
Plan a simple cleaning routine
- Remove solid waste promptly
- Rinse high-use areas as needed
- Use a turf-safe cleaner for odor-prone areas
- Brush traffic paths and remove leaves regularly
- Keep drains and edges clear
