Pet turf installation is built around one problem Peoria dog owners run into every summer: heat plus urine equals odor fast. Peoria Artificial Turf Pros builds pet areas with drainage-first base work and antimicrobial infill so the yard stays usable without the ammonia smell that shows up on budget turf jobs.
This service covers full backyards for pet owners as well as smaller dedicated pet zones. Every install gets a free estimate up front that spells out drainage work, infill choice, and turf grade before anything gets scheduled.

FAQs
Pet Turf Installation FAQs
Is artificial turf safe for dogs and does it smell in the heat?
When built with proper drainage and antimicrobial infill. Standard turf without those upgrades can hold odor in summer heat.
How much does pet turf cost per square foot?
Pet-safe turf with drainage and antimicrobial infill typically runs $9-$14 per square foot installed.
What is the downside to artificial turf for pets?
Without proper infill and drainage, it can trap odor. The right materials prevent that, but it adds cost over basic turf.
How long does pet turf installation take?
Most pet areas take 1-2 days from removal through final infill.
Is DIY pet turf a good idea?
Small patches can be DIY-friendly, but getting drainage slope and infill choice wrong is the main reason pet turf smells.
