Your Turf Looks Fine On Top.
Here's What's Underneath.
A garden hose only rinses the surface. Deep in the infill, below the blades, buildup has been collecting since the day it was installed.
Urine Crystals
The real source of the smell. They bond chemically to the infill. A hose alone won't move them.
Bacteria & Germs
Pet waste, spills, and everyday debris breed bacteria that multiplies fastest in San Diego's heat.
Hair & Fur Buildup
Dog hair and human hair weave into the fibers and infill, trapping odor and bacteria that a quick hose off never fully removes.
Pollen & Allergens
Trapped in the blades and base layer, then kicked back into the air every time someone walks or plays.
Compacted Dust
Settles deep into the infill over time, flattening fibers and dulling your turf's color.

Turf Cleaning FAQs
Most low-traffic decorative yards do well with a professional cleaning every 6 to 12 months. Active pet yards or households with kids typically need service every 1 to 3 months, or a monthly maintenance plan, to stay ahead of odor and buildup.
No. Our equipment uses low-pressure extraction rather than high-pressure power washing, so infill isn't blown out and fibers aren't torn. Power brushing lifts and realigns fibers instead of grinding them down.
A standard residential yard takes 60 to 90 minutes on average, depending on square footage and condition. Heavily soiled or long-overdue yards with multiple dogs can take longer since we run additional extraction passes.
Yes. Our deodorizing and sanitizing treatments use pet-safe, non-toxic formulas with no chlorine, bleach, or ammonia. Turf is safe for kids and pets to use again shortly after each visit.
Refresh covers light maintenance for newer or low-use turf. Restore adds deodorizing, sanitizing, stain removal, and degreasing for active pet and family yards. Full Reset is our complete restoration package for older or heavily soiled turf, adding magnet sweep, commercial extraction, and power wash.
Yes. Our maintenance plan starts with a 3-month minimum commitment and continues month-to-month afterward, cancel anytime. It's built for pet yards and families who want their turf consistently clean without booking each visit manually.
A garden hose moves water across the top of the blades. It never reaches the infill layer where odor-causing urine crystals and bacteria actually live. Our extraction equipment pulls contaminants out from below the surface instead of just spreading them around.
Not necessarily. As long as we have gate access to your yard, we can complete service without you present. We'll send confirmation photos once the job is done.
