Pet Turf Installation in Burbank
A pet-safe lawn is not a turf choice, it is a drainage decision. The product on top matters far less than whether liquid passes straight through the backing, through the infill and out of the base — or sits in it and comes back on the first hot afternoon.

Odour Is a Base Problem, Not a Turf Problem
Homeowners usually arrive after the same experience: a lawn that smells fine in winter and unbearable in August. The turf gets blamed, but the cause is almost always underneath it — a base that holds liquid, an infill that traps solids, or a backing that drains too slowly for the volume a dog produces in one spot.
A pet system is designed as a path for liquid. Perforated backing, an infill that resists bacteria rather than absorbing waste, and an aggregate base that carries everything away from the surface. Get that path right and the yard rinses clean. Get it wrong and no amount of product on top will fix it.
- Flow-through backingWe use fully permeable backing rather than punched-hole product, so liquid leaves the surface at the rate a dog actually delivers it.
- Infill that resists bacteriaAntimicrobial infill keeps the odour-causing bacteria from establishing in the first place, instead of masking the smell after it starts.
- A base that keeps drainingAggregate is graded and compacted so the drainage path stays open in year five, not just on installation day.
What a GreenStyle Pet Turf System Covers
Specified for households with dogs, not a standard lawn with a pet label added.
Demolition & haul-away
Old lawn, soil and any contaminated material removed to depth and disposed of, so nothing carries over into the new system.
Drainage base
Aggregate base compacted in lifts and graded to move liquid away, with additional drainage detail in the areas dogs favour.
Pet-grade turf & seams
Lead-free, fully permeable turf with heavy-duty backing, seamed by hand and secured at every edge dogs can reach.
Antimicrobial infill
Infill selected and weighted for pet use, brushed in evenly so the surface drains and the blades stay upright.
How a Pet Yard Is Built Differently
Four things change when the yard is for dogs. Skipping any of them is why so many pet lawns start to smell within a year.
More drainage, not less
Pet areas get a deeper, more open aggregate profile than a standard lawn, because the liquid volume in a small area is far higher.
Edges dogs cannot lift
Perimeters are nailed at close spacing and finished tight against fences and hardscape, because a loose edge is an invitation to a digger.
Infill chosen for odour
We use antimicrobial infill rather than plain silica sand, so bacteria never get a foothold in the material waste passes through.
Seams glued, not stapled
Seams take direct traffic in a dog yard. Hand-glued seams hold; stapled seams open and become a hazard for paws and nails.
Pet Turf in Burbank: Common Questions
What Burbank dog owners ask us before booking an estimate.
Is artificial grass safe for dogs?
Yes, when it is specified correctly. We install lead-free turf with permeable backing and antimicrobial infill. There is no fertiliser, no pesticide and no herbicide involved, which is more than can be said for most maintained natural lawns.
How do I clean up after my dogs?
Solid waste is picked up exactly as it is on grass. For liquid, a hose rinse of the areas they favour once or twice a week is enough in normal conditions. Because the system drains through, rinsing carries everything down and out rather than spreading it around.
Will the yard smell in summer?
Not if the base and infill are right, which is the entire point of a pet system. Odour comes from waste sitting in material that holds it. With permeable backing, antimicrobial infill and a draining base, there is nothing for it to sit in.
Can dogs dig through it?
Turf is far harder to dig through than soil, and a properly nailed perimeter removes the edge they would normally start from. Determined diggers occasionally lift a corner, which is why we anchor edges at close spacing rather than relying on glue or weight.
