What pet turf installation involves

Pet turf is a drainage system with grass on top. We install a short, dense, lead-free fiber with a fully permeable or flow-through backing over a coarse, free-draining base, and finish with an antimicrobial coated infill — typically zeolite-based — that captures and neutralizes ammonia rather than letting it sit in the surface. For kennels, breeders and multi-dog households we can add a drainage tile layer or sub-surface collection so liquids leave the system fast even under heavy daily use.

The service is built for dog owners whose lawns have already lost the fight: worn running paths along the fence line, dig holes at the gate, urine burn spots and mud tracked through the house after every storm. It also serves boarding facilities, veterinary practices, groomers, dog parks and apartment community pet relief areas, where sanitation and durability matter more than appearance. Most residential dog runs and yards are finished in one to two days.

Why Green Gorilla Turf

Why homeowners choose us for pet turf installation

Almost every complaint about pet turf traces back to one thing: liquids that cannot escape. Turf sold as pet-friendly but installed over a fine, poorly draining base will hold ammonia and smell within a summer, no matter what infill is used. We build the base coarse, pitch it correctly, use a backing with real flow-through capacity and specify infill that treats odor at the source. That system is the difference between a yard you enjoy and one you rinse constantly.

The second failure point is the perimeter, because a determined digger will find any loose edge. We anchor perimeters continuously, nail seams tight and tuck edges under hardscape or rigid edging so there is nothing to hook a paw under. All of it is installed by our own crews, priced transparently before we start, and covered by our 3+ year workmanship warranty and the 15-year manufacturer warranty on the turf — with 25 years of experience behind the recommendations.

Our Process

Our pet turf installation process, step by step

  1. 1

    Pet-use consultation

    We ask how many dogs use the space, their size and habits, and where they run and relieve themselves, then design drainage and infill capacity around that actual load.

  2. 2

    Specification and itemized quote

    You receive a written proposal covering base depth, backing type, antimicrobial infill and any added drainage layer, with a firm price before work begins.

  3. 3

    Demolition and drainage-first base

    Damaged sod and contaminated soil are removed and hauled off, then a coarse, fast-draining aggregate base is placed, graded and compacted for maximum flow-through.

  4. 4

    Turf installation and perimeter anchoring

    Pet-grade turf is laid, seamed and nailed at close spacing, with the entire perimeter secured and edges tucked so dogs cannot lift or tear the surface.

  5. 5

    Antimicrobial infill and rinse-down

    Odor-controlling infill is brushed deep into the fibers, the surface is rinsed and groomed, and we review a simple cleaning routine with you before handover.

FAQ

Pet Turf Installation questions, answered

Does pet turf smell after dogs use it?

Not when the system is built right. Odor comes from liquids sitting in a slow-draining base or in the wrong infill. Our pet installs pair a flow-through backing, a coarse free-draining base and antimicrobial zeolite infill so urine passes through and rinses away.

Can dogs dig through or tear up artificial turf?

Properly installed turf is extremely difficult for a dog to damage. The perimeter is anchored continuously and seams are nailed at close spacing, so there is no loose edge to start on — which is where nearly every dig-through begins.

How do I clean up after my dog on artificial grass?

Pick up solid waste as normal and hose the area down. In heavy-use spots, an enzymatic turf cleaner once or twice a month keeps the surface fresh, and a quick brush keeps the fibers standing.

Is pet turf safe for dogs to lie on and chew?

Yes. We install lead-free, non-toxic turf, and the antimicrobial infill options we use are pet-safe. Unlike soil and thatch, turf also gives fleas and ticks nowhere to live.

How hot does pet turf get for paws in Tampa summer?

Full-sun turf warms up in the afternoon, so we recommend cooling infill, shaded placement where possible and a quick rinse before peak-heat use — the same precaution you would take for pavement or a pool deck.
