How to Keep Your Backyard Odour-Free with Synthetic Turf Installation

Nothing is more frustrating than relaxing in your backyard, lounging with friends and family, when an unexpected foul odour begins emanating. Even though this may seem unlikely to some, for those with pets or a great deal of natural grass, this is an everyday reality. Over time, damp grass or pet urine can lead to chronic unpleasant odours that may make it difficult to use your backyard comfortably. Switching over to artificial grass for pets can be an effective way to manage odours and prevent them in the future. Reap the benefits of synthetic turf installation from Echoing Green.

Here are some ways artificial grass can help manage odours.

Common Causes of Backyard Odours

• Pet Waste: Pet waste is one of the largest culprits behind constant odours in your backyard. If your pet consistently uses your backyard to relieve themselves, then the smell of urine and poop can linger for extended periods of time. Odour-causing bacteria tend to thrive on natural grass.
• Poor Drainage & Moisture Accumulation: Natural grass is prone to moisture accumulation, and when rainwater builds up on the grass, it can result in a musty smell.
• Organic Debris & Soil Contamination: Fallen leaves, mulch, and decomposing matter can all result in pungent odours in your backyard.

How Synthetic Turf Helps Eliminate Odours

Synthetic turf does not absorb pet urine, which prevents odours from lingering on the grass. In fact, artificial grass is always installed over a layer of infill, which allows for excellent drainage. This helps wash away pet poop and urine, allowing for a fresher smell. Since there is no dirt under artificial grass, and it is a synthetic product, there are no naturally occurring bacteria associated with turf. This can also help minimize odours related to bacterial overgrowth. Artificial grass for dogs can also be thoroughly cleaned, unlike natural grass, again, minimizing odours.

Tips for Maintaining an Odour-Free Synthetic Turf Backyard

• Regular Cleanings: Cleaning your artificial grass is vital for preventing foul odours, especially if your pets use it to relieve themselves. All you need to do is rinse off your grass to prevent odours from lingering.
• Proper Drainage Checks: Periodically inspect your artificial grass to ensure that it is draining properly, as pooling water is a significant cause of smells. 
• Deodorizing Products: If you want to enhance your backyard, you can do so with deodorizing products for your synthetic turf. A product like Echo Fresh can help neutralize organic waste.
