Questions & answers

Why does my artificial turf smell?

Pet urine collects in the infill and backing, and bacteria break it down into ammonia. Heat speeds that up, which is why odor is worst on hot afternoons. See pet odor removal.

How often should artificial turf be professionally cleaned?

Once or twice a year for yards without pets, every two to three months with one dog, and monthly with two or more dogs. See our cleaning schedule guide.

How much does turf cleaning cost?

It depends on size, pets and condition. Quotes are free. Text us a few photos and we'll send a price.

What cleaning products do you use?

We use cleaners made for synthetic turf and follow the label directions. Keep kids and pets off treated areas until they're dry. Ask us and we'll tell you exactly which product we're using so you can check the label yourself.

Do I need to be home?

No. We need access to the turf and a heads-up about pets. We'll text you when we're done.

Can you fix flat, matted turf?

Usually, yes. Power-brush grooming lifts most matted fibers. Fibers melted by reflected sunlight can't be restored.

What is infill, and do I need more?

Infill is the sand-like layer that holds turf blades up. If you can see the backing or the blades stay flat after brushing, you may need an infill top-off.

Do you install or repair turf?

No. We clean and maintain artificial turf. For installation or seam repairs, contact a turf installer.

Do you offer recurring service?

Yes. Our maintenance plans run monthly, every other month or quarterly.

What areas do you serve?

Palm Desert, La Quinta, Indian Wells, Rancho Mirage, Indio, Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Bermuda Dunes and Coachella. See service areas.

What if it rains or it's too windy?

If weather makes the job ineffective, we'll text you to reschedule.
