What Makes Envirofill Turf Infill the Most Pet-Friendly Option?

More Homeowners with Pets Are Choosing Artificial Turf

Artificial lawns continue to gain popularity in backyards across the country. They’re drought-proof and low-maintenance, and with Motz’s innovations in turf infill manufacturing, they are now also non-toxic, allergen-free, and pet-friendly!

Everyone with a dog knows that while you couldn’t live without them, you could live without cleaning up after their mess. When you’re considering whether to install an artificial lawn, you may be wondering about the logistics with pets. Is turf infill compatible with dog waste and can it provide a clean, safe, and bacteria-free environment?

Thankfully, the answer is a resounding yes! Motz offers the perfect turf infill for pets, specifically designed for homes with four-legged family members: Envirofill.

Envirofill: The Dog-friendly Infill for Your Turf Backyard

Envirofill is non-toxic and completely reusable. It has a natural and comfortable look and feel that both you and your dog will love. Better yet, it’s infused with Microban® technology to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew that can cause odors in backyards frequented by dogs. 

We know that you think of your dogs as part of the family, so having an infill you can rely on for both performance and safety is crucial.

Here are the top 3 reasons to choose Envirofill for your backyard’s pet-friendly turf infill:

#1 It’s Safe for Everyone, Including Dogs and Kids

Envirofill is a non-toxic, non-hazardous material that is safe for dogs, cats, and people alike. In fact, it exceeds all of the safety standards set forth by the American Society for Testing and Materials. This international standards system measures the maximum level of hazardous metal in children’s toys. So, don’t sweat it if your dog accidentally ingests a few pieces.

In 2024, we perfected Envirofill further by adding Microban®’s newest 100% heavy metal-free antimicrobial technology to the formula, making our artificial turf infill more clean and safe than ever. This technology utilizes LapisShield, a sodium pyrithione-based antimicrobial that inhibits bacterial growth by up to 99.99%.

#2 Stinky Smells Won’t Linger

Envirofill is the only turf infill on the market infused with Microban® technology that reduces odor caused by ammonia in urine up to 99%. Microban has been scientifically proven to disrupt the bacterial process that converts pet urine into the ammonia odor.

Because Microban is infused during Envirofill’s proprietary coating process, it will never wear or wash off. It will last throughout the entire life cycle of your turf infill, working 24/7 to keep your loved ones safe and your backyard smelling fresh!

With Envirofill turf infill, your dog will be free to go about his business without ruining your backyard experience for family, guests, or neighbors.

#3 Huge Benefits, Little Maintenance

Our infill was designed with a uniquely rounded shape to avoid compaction and promote better percolation rates. Its shape also ensures better drainage before and after clean up compared to traditional infills.

Your future turf backyard will require zero watering, will not retain strong odors from dog waste, and will be chemically safe to enjoy. If this sounds like a backyard oasis, give us a call to get a quote. 

For families with pets, the grass truly is greener and you’re bound to smell the difference with Envirofill! Get the best, safest, and cleanest turf infill for pets during your next home landscaping project.
