When it comes to installing artificial grass in Arizona, most homeowners focus on the turf — but the infill you choose plays a huge role in how your lawn looks, feels, and performs over time.
At All Valley Turf, we install turf the right way from the ground up, starting with the correct infill system to match Arizona’s climate, soil, and sun exposure. Whether you’re installing turf in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Chandler, Gilbert, or Mesa, knowing your infill options helps you make a smarter investment.
What Is Turf Infill — and Why Does It Matter?
Infill is the material spread between the blades of artificial grass. It provides:
Blade support to keep turf looking upright and natural
Cushioning for foot traffic, kids, and pets
Weight to keep turf in place during high winds or heavy use
Cooling properties to reduce surface heat
Odor control (especially important for pet areas)
Without the right infill, even high-end turf can feel flat, hot, or smelly — especially in Arizona’s extreme conditions.
Top Turf Infill Options for Arizona Homeowners
✅ Silica Sand
A popular, affordable choice that helps weigh the turf down and keep blades standing upright.
Best for: Front yards, low-traffic areas
Pros: Inexpensive, widely available
Cons: No cooling or odor control; can retain heat
✅ Zeolite
A volcanic mineral that naturally traps and neutralizes ammonia — perfect for pet owners.
Best for: Dog runs, pet-friendly backyards
Pros: Odor control, safe for pets, eco-friendly
Cons: Costs more than basic sand, needs occasional refresh
✅ Envirofill® (Antimicrobial Coated Sand)
A premium infill option that combines durability, cooling, and antimicrobial protection.
Best for: High-traffic yards, families, long-term installations
Pros: Low maintenance, long-lasting, reduces bacteria
Cons: Higher upfront cost
✅ TCool® or Cooling Infill Systems
These are advanced infills engineered to reduce turf surface temperatures by up to 50 degrees.
