Shorter pile
Pile height is the length of the blades. A shorter pile stands up to running and digging, and it is easier to clean because there is less for anything to get caught in. Our Pet Elite 84oz has a 1.26 inch pile, against 2 inches on our fullest landscape lawns.
A backing made for pets
What happens under the blades matters as much as the blades themselves. Pet Elite is built on a Superflow backing, made for pet areas. Talk to your installer about the base underneath, since that is where the turf drains to.
Density
Face weight is the weight of the blades in ounces per square yard, and it is the best single measure of how dense a turf is. Pet Elite carries 66 ounces of face weight. Our spec sheet guide explains every line on the sheet.

Keeping it clean
- Pick up solid waste the same way you would on grass.
- Hose the area down regularly, more often in summer and in the spots the dogs use most.
- Ask us about cleaning products made for synthetic turf before you buy any.
Summer heat
Any synthetic surface gets hot in full Arizona sun. A quick rinse cools it down, and a shade tree, a sail or a covered patio over the dogs' area makes a real difference on summer afternoons.
Ordering
Our turf comes in rolls 15 feet wide and 100 feet long. Measure the area and see our measuring guide for planning runs and seams, then browse every turf on our synthetic grass page.
