Pet Turf Installation in New Braunfels
Dogs are hard on a lawn. Worn paths along the fence, holes from digging, yellow spots, and muddy paws after every rain add up fast. Pet turf solves all of it with a clean, soft surface your dogs can use every day and you can rinse off in minutes.
New Braunfels Turf Pros installs pet turf systems designed around drainage and odor control, so your yard stays fresh and usable no matter how many dogs call it home.
Why Pet Owners Love Artificial Turf
- No more mud. Turf drains quickly, so wet weather doesn't mean dirty floors.
- No digging damage. There's no soil on top for dogs to tear up, and no holes to fill.
- No yellow spots. Turf stays the same color no matter where your dog goes.
- Easy to clean. Pick up solid waste and hose the area down. That's it.
- Comfortable to play on. Soft fibers make a great surface for running, fetching, and lounging.
Built for Drainage and Odor Control
A pet turf install isn't just regular turf in a dog area. The details underneath matter even more.
Permeable backing. Pet turf uses fully permeable backing so liquids pass straight through instead of pooling.
Free-draining base. We build a well-compacted base graded for fast drainage, which keeps odors from building up.
Antimicrobial infill. We recommend infills made for pet areas that help control odor and bacteria between rinses.
Tough, short pile. A shorter, dense pile stands up to heavy traffic and makes cleanup easier.
Turf is one part of keeping dogs comfortable through a Texas summer. The ASPCA has more tips on shade, water, and hot-weather safety for pets.

Choosing the Right Pet Turf for Your Dog
The best pet turf depends on your dogs and how they use the yard. Big, active dogs that run laps along the fence need a dense, durable turf that springs back after heavy traffic. Smaller dogs and seniors often do well with a softer feel. Households with several dogs need the fastest drainage and the most attention to infill.
We'll ask about your dogs, where they spend the most time, and how you use the yard yourself, then recommend a turf and infill that fit. If you want turf for both pets and people, we can use a pet-friendly product across the whole yard so it all looks the same.
Keeping Pet Turf Clean and Fresh
Pet turf is much easier to keep clean than grass and dirt, and a simple routine keeps it that way.
Daily. Pick up solid waste, just like you would on grass.
Weekly. Hose down the areas your dogs use most to flush liquids through the base.
Monthly. Spray an enzyme cleaner made for artificial turf on busy spots, especially in summer.
As needed. Brush high-traffic areas to keep the fibers standing up, and top off infill if it gets thin.
Pet Turf for Kennels, Groomers, and Dog Parks
Pet turf isn't just for backyards. Boarding facilities, groomers, doggy daycares, and apartment dog parks all deal with heavy traffic and constant cleaning. Commercial-grade pet turf gives them a clean, consistent surface that drains fast and stands up to dozens of dogs a day. Learn more about our commercial turf installation.
Pet Turf FAQs
Does pet turf smell?
With proper drainage, the right infill, and a regular rinse, odor stays under control. Enzyme cleaners help in hot spots during summer.
Can dogs dig through artificial turf?
Dogs may try, but they can't dig through the turf and base the way they do with soil. Securing the edges well keeps determined diggers from pulling them up.
Is artificial turf safe for dogs?
Yes. Turf has no fertilizers or pesticides, and it gives dogs a clean, comfortable place to play.
Does pet turf get too hot for paws?
Turf warms up in direct sun, like pavement or patio stone. Shade, lighter turf options, and a quick hose-down on hot afternoons help keep it comfortable.
How often should I clean pet turf?
Pick up solid waste daily, rinse busy areas once or twice a week, and use an enzyme cleaner about once a month or more often in summer. Households with several dogs may need to rinse more often.
Will dog urine damage artificial turf?
No. Urine won't discolor or kill turf the way it does grass. With good drainage and regular rinsing, the area stays clean and fresh.
