    Basework that drains

    We build a compacted, free-draining base so dog urine drains away fast and surfaces stay even over time. With superior drainage, our synthetic grass ensures that dog pee or urine are quickly absorbed, leaving the surface dry and clean.

What is Envirofill and why it matters for dog owners.

Envirofill is a premium infill for artificial turf, specially designed with pets and families in mind. These tiny granules sit between the grass blades to support the system, helping with drainage, keeping blades upright, and adding stability.

More than just sand, Envirofill is a smart, long-lasting option with Microban antimicrobial protection to help prevent bacteria, odours, and stains. It resists compaction for better drainage and keeps your lawn lush year after year.

While it’s a step up from standard tennis sand, the benefits are worth it: a cleaner, safer, fresher lawn with less odour and weed growth, and a soft, durable surface perfect for kids and dogs.

Safe, non-toxic, and built to last – Envirofill keeps your lawn green, clean, and ready for play.

  • Infused with Microban antimicrobial technology to help keep your lawn cleaner for longer.

  • Helps prevent the growth of bacteria, mould, and mildew – the main causes of unpleasant smells.

  • Made from rounded quartz sand that resists compression, keeping blades upright and water flowing freely.

  • Non-toxic, low-dust, and environmentally friendly – peace of mind for every family member.

  • Meaning it’s reusable for multiple turf cycles.

  • No reapplication or top-ups needed – Envirofill stays put and performs for years.

FAQs for dog owners

  • Yes. Our systems are non-toxic and designed for family life. Envirofill is pet and child safe and includes Microban technology to help inhibit odour-causing bacteria.

  • If your artificial grass is used as a small, dedicated dog toileting area with multiple dogs, odours can occasionally build up over time. When this happens, a quick treatment with anenzyme-based turf cleaner will neutralise the smell and restore freshness. In larger spaces, where dogs naturally spread out their toileting, smells are far less noticeable, especially when paired with our Envirofill antibacterial infill, which helps control odour and bacteria between cleans. Regular rinsing and good drainage will keep your lawn fresh and hygienic all year round.

  • When installed correctly with the right base and infill, artificial grass is very hard to dig through.

  • Our CoolTouch technology and infill selection help manage surface temperature; Envirofill is designed as a cleaner, modern alternative to dark, heat-absorbing infills. Shade and rinsing further reduce heat on very hot days.

  • No problem – our installation spec and dog friendly turf handle family wear, paws and play.

  • Yes! Many dog kennels, doggy daycares, and boarding facilities across New Zealand use our commercial pet turf systems. They’re durable, easy to clean, drain quickly, and provide a hygienic surface that stays green all year round – no mud, no odour, no mowing.

  • Simple. Remove solid waste, rinse the area with a hose, and use a turf deodoriser if needed. Envirofill® antibacterial infill helps reduce bacteria between cleans, making maintenance minimal for busy dog owners or kennel operators.

  • Our premium pet turf systems last 10 years + with proper care. Even with multiple dogs or heavy daily use, the blades maintain their structure and the surface stays lush — far outperforming natural grass in dog-heavy areas.

  • Yes. The turf backing and base are engineered for rapid drainage. Dog urine flows through to the base layer, preventing puddles and helping to reduce odour. This makes our turf ideal for dog-friendly lawns and kennel environments.

  • Unlike bark or gravel, artificial grass is soft on paws, easy to clean, and prevents tracking dirt inside. Many clients switch from bark to turf because it’s easier to pick up dog waste and eliminates muddy paw prints and dog pee spots.
