Deep Turf
Extraction in Houston, TX
When rinsing stops working, the problem is below the fibers. Turf extraction flushes the infill and backing with water and cleaning solution, then pulls the dirty water back out under suction. The urine residue leaves your yard instead of washing down into the base.

Turf Extraction, Deep Cleaning & Infill Installation in Houston, TX
A normal rinse pushes water down through artificial turf. That moves some of the smell, but it also carries urine residue deeper, into the infill, the backing and the base below. Turf extraction works the other way. We push water and a cleaning solution down into the pile and pull it straight back out under strong suction, so the residue comes up and leaves with the water.
Extraction is the deep tier of artificial turf cleaning, and it is built for dog yards. If your yard smells again a day after you hose it, if the infill feels sticky or crusted in the dog's favorite spots, or if you see yellow or brown stains in the fibers, a surface clean will not reach the cause. We check the yard first and tell you which visit you need. Deep turf extraction is only the answer when it will actually work.
What Can I Expect From Turf Extraction, Deep Cleaning & Infill in Houston?
Turf extraction is a deep cleaning method for artificial grass. We push water and a cleaning solution down through the fibers, the infill and the backing, then pull it straight back out under strong suction. The urine residue, dirt and buildup come up with the water and leave your yard. It is the same idea as extraction carpet cleaning, built for turf.
A regular turf cleaning works on the surface: it clears, brushes, rinses and deodorizes the fibers and the top of the infill. The rinse water drains down into the base, and whatever it carries goes with it. Extraction reaches the full depth of the infill and pulls the dirty water back up and out. For most yards a cleaning is enough. For a dog yard that smells again a day after a rinse, extraction is the step made for that problem.
Often, yes, if the residue is in the infill and backing. That is exactly where extraction works. But we will be straight with you about the limit. If urine has soaked into a base that was never built to drain, nothing done from the top will reach it, extraction included. That yard has to come up so the base can be rebuilt. We flood-test the yard on the first visit so you know which one you have before you pay for anything.
No. Nothing comes up. The word extraction refers to pulling the dirty water and residue out of the turf, not pulling the turf out of the ground. Your lawn stays exactly where it is. If your turf is past saving and does need to be replaced, that is a different job, and we can talk you through it on the same visit.

Extraction vs. Cleaning
Turf Extraction vs. A Standard Turf Cleaning
Both are good visits. They just reach different depths. Here is how they compare, side by side.
| Standard Turf Cleaning | Deep Turf Extraction | |
|---|---|---|
| What it reaches | The fibers and the top of the infill | The full depth of the infill and the backing |
| How it works | Clear, power brush, rinse, sanitize and deodorize | Flush water and cleaning solution down, then pull it back out under suction |
| Where the dirty water goes | Down through the turf into the base | Back up into the machine and out of your yard |
| What it removes | Leaves, dust, pet hair, surface solids and surface smell | Urine residue and buildup packed into the infill and backing |
| Best for | Routine care for any artificial turf | Dog yards where the smell comes back after a rinse |
| If it is not enough | Move up to extraction or new infill | New infill, drainage work, or rebuilding the base |

How It Works
Our Deep Turf Extraction Process
Five steps, in this order. The extraction itself is step four. Everything before it makes it work better, and everything after it makes the result last.
We Check The Yard First
We find the dog spots, flood-test a patch to see how fast water drains, and check the infill and backing. That tells us whether extraction will work before you pay for it.
We Clear & Brush The Surface
Solids, hair and debris come off first. Then we power brush the pile to open it up, so the water can reach down into the infill instead of running across the top.
We Pre-Treat The Dog Spots
The heaviest spots get an enzyme treatment made for turf, and we give it time to work. This loosens the urine residue before the extraction passes.
We Flush & Extract
We push water and cleaning solution down through the infill and backing and pull it straight back out under suction. Dog spots get pass after pass. Then we work the rest of the yard.
We Deodorize, Level & Re-Test
We deodorize, brush the fibers up and level the infill. We flood-test again to make sure water leaves, flag any fill that is spent, and leave you a care routine in writing.

The Equipment
Truck-Mounted Or Portable Extraction: What Actually Matters?
Turf extraction machines come in two kinds, and both can do the job. What matters more than the machine is whether the dirty water actually comes back out of your turf. Some companies call a spray-and-brush service extraction. If nothing is being vacuumed back up, it is a rinse, whatever the name says. We will tell you which setup we are bringing for your yard and why.
Truck-Mounted Units
The machine stays in the truck and long hoses run back to the yard. They are usually the most powerful option, with more suction and hotter water, and the dirty water goes into a tank on the truck. They need a hose route from the street to the turf.
Portable Units
The machine rolls into the yard with the crew. It has less power than a truck-mount as a rule, but it can reach turf that hoses cannot, like a rooftop, a balcony or a back yard behind a locked side gate. It has to be emptied more often.
The Question To Ask Anyone
Where does the dirty water go? If the answer is back into the machine, you are getting extraction. If the answer is into the ground, you are getting a rinse, and the residue is going deeper into your base, not out of your yard.

What It Costs
How Much Does Turf Extraction Cost In Houston?
Extraction costs more than a standard turf cleaning because it takes longer, it uses more equipment, and the dog spots need several passes. The final price depends on your yard, so we set it after the free assessment, never over the phone. You get a firm price before any work starts, and if a regular cleaning will do the job, we will tell you and price that instead.
If the fill in the dog lanes is spent, we can price an infill addition on the same visit. If water is not leaving the base, drainage solutions come first, because extraction cannot fix a base that holds water.

Who It's For
Turf Extraction For Dog Owners, Landlords And Pet Businesses
Back Yards With Dogs
One big dog or three small ones, the result is the same: the favorite spots fill up. Extraction clears them out so the rinse routine can keep up again.
Rentals & Move-Outs
A tenant's dog can leave a smell the next tenant notices on day one. Extraction between leases resets the yard without replacing it.
Kennels, Daycares & Dog Parks
Heavy daily use needs a built-in system, not a visit now and then. Start with our commercial odor control systems page.

FAQTurf Extraction Questions,
Turf Extraction Questions,
Clearly Answered
How can I remove the smell of dog urine from artificial grass?
Start with the routine: pick up solids every day, rinse the dog's spots on a set day, and use an enzyme cleaner made for turf. If the smell comes back within a day of a good rinse, the urine has built up below the surface, in the infill and backing. A rinse cannot pull it out, but turf extraction can, because it vacuums the residue back up instead of washing it deeper.
Can turf extraction remove urine stains?
Stains that are residue sitting in the fibers and infill usually lift or fade a lot, since that residue is what extraction pulls out. If the fiber itself has changed color, no cleaning will bring the original color back. We look at the stains on the first visit and tell you which kind you have.
How often does a dog yard need turf extraction?
Less often than a regular cleaning, and it depends on the yard. The number of dogs, the size of the yard, the Houston summer heat and how well the rinse routine is kept up all change the answer. We set it after we have seen the yard, not before. Most owners use extraction to reset the yard, then keep it there with regular cleanings and their own rinse routine.
Do I need turf extraction or new infill?
Sometimes both. Extraction pulls residue out of the infill. But infill in a heavy dog lane can be spent or packed so tight that cleaning it is not worth it. In that case we replace it. We check the infill on the first visit and give you the honest answer, even if it is the cheaper one.
Do you do extraction on turf another company installed?
Yes. Most of the smelly turf we see was installed by someone else, and extraction works the same way on any brand. What matters is how the turf was built, which is why we check the drainage and the backing before we start.
