How Infill Technology Enhances Pet Comfort, Safety and Odor Control - Fieldturf 2
For pet owners considering artificial grass, one of the most important choices is infill. Aside from providing structural support and cushioning to the grass fibers, infill plays a crucial role in controlling odor, keeping your synthetic yard sanitary and making it a wonderful space for your dog to play and relax.

Here at FieldTurf Landscape, we only use the best infill products for use with our pet turf installations. Check out the features of those that made the cut:

Paw-fect Comfort: Designed for Sensitive Feet

Your pet’s comfort is our priority. The infill products we’ve chosen are engineered with paws in mind.
  • Smooth, rounded shape: No sharp edges means no discomfort for sensitive paw pads.
  • Optimal particle size: Large enough to stay put, small enough to create a consistently comfortable surface.
  • Even distribution: Our installation process ensures uniform coverage for a consistently comfortable feel underfoot.
Whether your pup loves to sprint or enjoy a leisurely stretch on the lawn, they’ll find our artificial grass a joy to walk on.

Safety First: Certified Non-Toxic Materials

We take pet safety seriously. Really seriously.
  • Rigorous testing: We only use infill that has undergone – and passed – extensive third-party laboratory testing.
  • Free from harmful chemicals: No heavy metals, no toxic compounds – period.
  • Safe if ingested: While we don’t recommend it as a snack, our infill won’t harm your pet if they accidentally ingest small amounts.
You can let your pets play freely, knowing we’ve prioritized their well-being at every step.

Cool Under Pressure: Temperature Regulation

Hot days shouldn’t mean your pet can’t enjoy the yard. The infill we use helps keep things cool.
  • Reflective properties: Special particles help bounce sunlight away, reducing heat absorption.
  • Moisture retention: A small amount of retained moisture provides evaporative cooling.
  • Air circulation: The infill’s structure allows for tiny air pockets, improving overall heat dissipation.
These features work together to keep your artificial grass much cooler than traditional infill materials.

Built to Last: Durability You Can Count On

Pets can be tough on a lawn. The infill we use is tougher.
  • Compression resistant: Maintains its shape and properties even under heavy paw traffic.
  • Weather-resistant: Stands up to rain, snow, and UV exposure without degrading.
  • Antimicrobial properties: Help prevent breakdown from biological factors.
This durability means your lawn stays in great shape for years, even with energetic pets.

Eco-Friendly: Good for Pets, Good for the Planet

We believe in using products that are kind to both your pets and the environment.
  • Recycled materials: Many of the infill options we use incorporate recycled content.
  • Low environmental impact: Carefully sourced to minimize ecological footprint.
  • End-of-life considerations: Options for biodegradable or recyclable infill are available.
You can feel good knowing your pet-friendly lawn choice is also an earth-friendly one.
