WHY PET INFILL
Better days start at ground level.
Designed for pet areas where daily use calls for more than a standard sand finish. A natural-mineral approach to managing urine-related odours.
Active infill layer
Rather than simply weighting the turf, the mineral granules work within the artificial grass pile where urine first lands.
Built for pet zones
Choose the infill amount for your dog and number of pets, with heavier-use spaces requiring more material.
Moisture-assisted cooling
Porous minerals can retain water for evaporative cooling when moisture is present. Cooling depends on site conditions and is not guaranteed.
HOW IT WORKS
How mineral infill helps stop urine odour.
Natural mineral infill uses porous granules to help hold moisture and attract ammonium ions within the turf pile. This can reduce the release of ammonia-related urine odours. It is preventative infill, not a treatment for smells already trapped beneath the turf.
01
Install into the turf
Brush the granules down between artificial grass fibres at installation, or after the existing lawn has been thoroughly cleaned.
02
Absorb near the surface
Microporous mineral granules help hold moisture and urine within the infill layer for you to later hose away through the sub base.
03
Capture ammonium
The mineral structure attracts ammonium through ion exchange, helping limit the release of ammonia odour.
04
Maintain and top up
Keep draining and cleaning the turf as normal. Top up the infill as needed with wear, use and time. You should hose the area every 2-4 days depending on the size of your dog and the frequency the area is used.
Base layer
Make sure kiln-dried sand is in place first.
Spread
Distribute pet infill evenly across the surface.
Brush in
Work the granules down into the grass fibres.
Maintain
Rinse and top up as your pet area needs.
THE INSTALLATION LAYERS
A clearer look beneath the blades.
A simple guide to the layers beneath an artificial pet lawn. The mineral infill is distributed between the grass fibres, while the turf backing and prepared base continue to provide drainage.
Simplified visual guide, not to scale. Apply according to your turf and infill specifications.
THE RIGHT AMOUNT
How many bags will you need?
Application depends on pet use, not just square metres. Calculate by weight using the supplied mineral-infill application guide. Please note that the quantity provided in this calculator is based on frequent or heavy use. If your dog does not use the area constantly, the quantity required will be less than calculated.

EASY APPLICATION
Install it right. Keep it working.
Spread the measured amount across your lawn in sections and work it between the grass fibres. For existing turf with established urine odour, deep-clean the turf and backing first; infill alone will not remove an existing smell.
STEP 01
Prepare & clean the grass
Lay turf over a suitable free-draining base. If the existing lawn already smells, clean the backing and underlying area thoroughly before adding new infill.
STEP 02
Measure the infill rate
Calculate area × 5–7kg/m² for small dogs, 10kg/m² for large dogs or 15kg/m² for multiple dogs, then round up to 15kg bags.
STEP 03
Spread and brush in
Pour the mineral granules evenly in sections. Use a stiff-bristle or power broom in several directions to settle infill into the turf pile.
STEP 04
Rinse, care & top up
Remove solid waste, rinse as your pet area needs, check drainage and add more mineral infill as the layer becomes depleted over time.
Using both pet infill and kiln-dried sand?
Shop kiln-dried sand We recommend a reduced kiln-dried sand layer of one 20kg bag per 10m² when combining the two materials. Apply base sand first, then the calculated pet infill. If using pet infill instead of sand, confirm the specification for your turf. Wear gloves and a dust mask while brushing in loose granules.

Everything you need to know.
A few helpful answers about applying, maintaining and ordering Ausgrass Pet Infill.
Talk to our teamWhat does pet infill do for artificial grass?
Pet Infill is a natural mineral-based infill used within the turf pile to help hold urine moisture and capture ammonium, reducing the potential for ammonia smells. It is preventative and works alongside routine cleaning and drainage.
How many 15kg bags of pet infill do I need?
The supplied mineral-infill application guide recommends 5–7kg/m² for small dogs, 10kg/m² for large dogs and 15kg/m² for multiple dogs. Multiply your turf area by the required kg/m², divide by 15kg and round up to full bags. For small dogs our calculator plans at 7kg/m² and also shows the 5kg/m² estimate. For site-specific recommendations, confirm the application rate with the Ausgrass team.
Why does urine odour return after hosing the grass?
Urine residues and microbial activity can remain in the grass backing or base. Moisture and warmth may release an ammonia smell again. Infill can help manage fresh urine at the turf layer, but an existing odour problem may need a deep clean first.
Can I use it on a lawn that already smells?
Yes, after the cause of the odour has been properly treated. Infill cannot remove urine residue or smells already embedded in the backing or sub-base. Clean and dry the turf thoroughly first, then apply the measured amount of infill as preventive maintenance.
How does mineral infill capture odour?
The porous minerals found in the pet infill can retain moisture and attract positively charged ammonium ions by ion exchange. This helps to limit their escape as ammonia odour.
Do I still need kiln-dried sand?
When using both materials, current Ausgrass guidance is one 20kg bag of kiln-dried sand per 10m² as a reduced base layer, followed by Pet Infill. The sand infill layer helps to weigh the grass down while the pet infill layer above it captures the urine. Hose the area thoroughly to allow the water and urine to pass through the sand layer and grass backing
How do I spread and brush the infill into my lawn?
Calculate the required bags. Apply evenly in sections, then use a stiff-bristle or power broom, working across the pile in several directions until the material settles between the blades. Wear gloves and a dust mask to minimise exposure to loose mineral dust.
Is this safe to use around pets and children?
Pet Infill is made from natural, non-toxic ingredients and suitable for pet areas when used as directed. Keep animals and children away during application, avoid breathing loose mineral dust as it can cause irritation
Does pet infill eliminate the need to rinse turf?
No. Remove pet waste promptly, hose and maintain the area based on use, and ensure it drains correctly. Mineral infill helps manage odour but cannot replace cleaning or correct a poorly prepared base.
Does it help keep artificial grass cooler?
Porous mineral infill may temporarily cool a damp turf surface through evaporation. Cooling depends on moisture and conditions; it is not a guaranteed temperature reduction for every site.
Will pet infill need replacing?
Mineral infill can remain in place for a long time. The effectiveness and amount of infill change with use, wear and contamination, so monitor the lawn and add a top-up if required. There is no single fixed replacement interval for all sites.
Can you ship this 15kg product outside Victoria?
This product is currently only available for delivery within Victoria only. Shipping is calculated at checkout. Contact the team if you would like to discuss showroom pickup or delivery.
Can I use Pet Infill with Pet Flow 35 grass?
Yes. Ausgrass Pet Flow 35 has a permeable backing to support drainage, and Pet Infill works within the pile to help manage urine-related odours. The grass, infill, cleaning and suitable sub-base work together.
