Turf Refresh
Bring Your Turf Back to Life - Clean, Safe, and Beautiful
Artificial turf might look low-maintenance, but over time it can hide a lot beneath the surface. Dirt, dust, pollen, pet waste, sweat, and other organic materials can get trapped deep between the fibers and infill. Add in rain, foot traffic, and sunshine — and you’ve got the perfect environment for bacteria, mold, and odors to build up.
Even though it’s “artificial,” your turf can still host the same unwanted microbes found on natural grass, including E. coli, Salmonella, Staph, and even viruses like Influenza and H1N1. These germs can transfer to shoes, hands, or paws — putting your family, athletes, and pets at risk.
And let’s talk about the pet factor…..when dogs (and even wildlife) use your turf as their bathroom, waste residue seeps down into the infill. Without proper cleaning, this creates bacteria growth, odor issues, and a breeding ground for germs that standard rinsing or leaf-blowing just can’t fix.
That’s where The Turf Refresh comes in.
Our professional deep-cleaning system restores the look, feel, and performance of your turf by:
✅ Removing dirt, debris, and organic buildup
✅ Neutralizing and eliminating bacteria and viruses
✅ Breaking down odor-causing contaminants (including pet waste)
✅ Lifting matted fibers to revive that lush, like-new look
We use a powerful, eco-friendly, pet-safe cleaning solution that sanitizes without harsh chemicals — no bleach, no ammonia, no residue. It’s safe for children, athletes, and pets, but tough on the grime that hides in your turf.
Regular cleanings not only protect your health — they extend the life of your turf, preserve drainage, prevent odors, and keep your space looking its best year-round.
So whether it’s your backyard, playground, school field, or community space, The Refresher gives your turf the professional check-up it deserves — leaving it vibrant, fresh, and safe to play on.
Turf Restore
Protect Your Investment. Preserve Safety. Prolong Performance.
Artificial turf is built to be durable — but just like any surface that’s constantly played on, walked across, or weathered by the elements, it needs regular care to stay safe and perform its best. Over time, turf fibers can mat down, seams can separate, and the perimeter fastening system can loosen, especially in high-traffic areas like dog parks, playgrounds, schoolyards, and sports fields.
When this happens, it’s not just an appearance issue — it’s a safety hazard. Loose seams or lifted edges can cause players or pets to trip, while wrinkles or uneven areas can affect playability and lead to injuries. Shifting bases and exposed seams can also allow water to pool or damage the turf backing, accelerating wear and tear.
That’s why our Turf Restore goes far beyond cleaning. In addition to performing The Turf Refresher deep-cleaning and sanitizing process, our trusted professionals inspect every inch of your surface to ensure it’s secure, level, and ready for play.
Our maintenance and repair services include:
✅ Seam Repairs – Rebinding and securing open seams for a smooth, safe surface.
✅ Edge Adjustments & Fastening – Reinforcing perimeter edges and anchoring systems to prevent lifting or curling.
✅ Base Leveling – Correcting dips, wrinkles, or uneven areas that affect performance and drainage.
✅ Fiber Restoration – Brushing and grooming turf blades to restore their natural, upright look.
✅ Comprehensive Inspection – Checking infill levels, drainage, and structural integrity.
Every visit ends with a turf surface that’s clean, secure, and game-ready — because your turf should look great and play great, too.
By investing in regular maintenance, you:
Extend the lifespan of your turf system
Prevent costly repairs and replacements
Ensure safety for athletes, children, and pets
Maintain consistent performance and aesthetic appeal year-round
With Artificial Turf Doctors, your turf gets the expert care it deserves — from deep cleaning to detailed repairs — keeping your space beautiful, safe, and ready for action.
Weed Relief
Because Even Artificial Turf Needs a Little Weed Therapy
Surprised that weeds can grow through artificial turf? You’re not alone — it’s one of the most common questions we get! While artificial grass is designed to stop weed growth, nature always finds a way.
Over time, dust, pollen, and organic debris settle into the turf’s infill, creating a thin layer of soil that becomes the perfect home for stubborn weeds. Seeds carried by the wind or dropped by birds can take root in this layer — and before you know it, those pesky green invaders start poking through seams, edges, or drainage holes.
Not only do weeds ruin your turf’s clean look, but they can also:
- Push up seams or edges, causing tripping hazards
- Trap moisture that leads to mold or algae
- Invite insects and allergens back into your yard or play space
And let’s not forget about pets — dog urine, droppings, and outdoor messes leave behind organic matter that further feeds weed growth and unwanted bacteria.
That’s where our Weed Relief Program comes in.
Our expert technicians remove existing weeds and treat the surface with an eco-friendly, pet-safe solution that targets roots and prevents future growth. We go beyond the surface — addressing the underlying issues that allow weeds to sneak through in the first place.
Here’s how we do it:
✅ Thorough Weed Removal – Safely extract visible weeds and surface growth
✅ Preventative Treatment – Apply a non-toxic barrier to stop new growth
✅ Turf Inspection – Check seams, edges, and infill for weak points or buildup
✅ Surface Refresh – Clean and groom the turf for a flawless finish
Our system is safe for children, pets, and the environment — no harsh chemicals, no residue, and no compromise on performance.
The result? A turf surface that’s clean, strong, and weed-free, so you can focus on what matters most — enjoying a beautiful, worry-free space all year long. 🌞
