Keep Your Lawn Clean, Safe, and Odor-Free with Monthly Turf Care

Artificial turf is a great solution for pet owners. It’s durable, clean, and eliminates muddy paws—but many overlook the importance of regular maintenance, especially in homes with dogs. While turf doesn’t grow like natural grass, it can still collect waste, develop odors, and become unsanitary without proper care.

At Cal Pro Artificial Turf, we offer professional monthly turf maintenance starting at $250, depending on your turf size and number of pets. Here’s why turf maintenance for pets matters and what you can expect with our service.

Turf Maintenance for Pets: Why It Matters

1. Pet Waste Doesn’t Go Away on Its Own

Artificial turf doesn’t absorb waste. Solid waste must be picked up, and any residue needs to be washed off. Urine seeps through the turf and settles into the base layer. Without deep cleaning, this leads to odor and bacteria buildup.

Our monthly maintenance includes:

  • Turf rinse-down
  • Spot-cleaning pet waste areas
  • Enzyme odor neutralizer
  • Pet-safe sanitizing spray

This routine prevents long-term odor and keeps your turf hygienic and safe.

2. Odor Control for Pet Turf Is Non-Negotiable

Urine salts can linger even after rinsing, making your yard smell unpleasant. Our team uses Turf Fresh Artificial Turf Enzyme Cleaner that neutralize odor at the source—not just mask it.

We target high-traffic areas where pets frequent, ensuring your yard smells fresh all month long.

3. Pet Hair and Dirt Need to Be Removed Regularly

Dogs shed and track in debris. Pet hair can clog turf infill, reducing drainage and causing bacteria buildup. That’s why we brush the turf as part of every visit. This lifts the turf blades, removes debris, and keeps your lawn looking clean and upright.

4. Stop Bacteria Before It Becomes a Problem

Artificial turf can harbor bacteria like E. coli if not sanitized properly. This poses risks to pets and children alike.

We apply pet-safe antibacterial treatments to all areas, especially spots exposed to waste or moisture. For homes with multiple dogs or large breeds, monthly sanitation is essential to keep your outdoor area safe.

5. Avoid Turf Damage and Save on Repairs

Neglected pet turf can suffer from:

  • Discoloration from repeated waste exposure
  • Weakening or breaking of turf backing
  • Matted or flattened turf fibers

Our monthly inspections allow us to detect and fix small issues early, helping you avoid expensive repairs and protect your original turf investment.

How Often Should Turf Be Cleaned for Pets?

Monthly Turf Maintenance = Minimum Standard

We recommend monthly service as the baseline for most households with pets. If you have multiple dogs or large breeds, you may need monthly cleanings.

Key factors that affect cleaning frequency:

  • Pet size – Bigger dogs = more waste
  • Number of pets – More dogs = higher cleaning needs
  • Turf area – Smaller yards get dirty faster
