Easy to work with, great price. The crew who showed up were on time and did an excellent job. The turf was left with a clean, non chemical smell.
About Dirty Turf
Dirty Turf
Arizona’s truck-mounted turf cleaning company — family-owned, pet-odor obsessed
We extract what portable cleaners leave behind. Meet the crew that made Dirty Turf the most-reviewed turf cleaning standard in Arizona & Nevada.
Our story
Built by installers who clean — for yards that actually smell clean again
Dirty Turf started because artificial grass needed a real cleaning standard. Surface sprays and portable extractors couldn’t keep up with pet urine trapped in the blades, backing, and infill. So we brought commercial truck-mount power to turf — paired with installation know-how so your lawn is cleaned the way it was built.
Today we’re a family-owned crew serving Phoenix Metro and Las Vegas: lead technicians, assistants, quote specialists who know the process, and dispatch that treats every job like it’s on our own street.

Founder
Steve DiFabio
Owner & Chief Turf Expert
15+ years turf · 30+ years cleaning
Steve founded Dirty Turf to bring real professional cleaning power to artificial grass — the kind of truck-mounted extraction that actually pulls urine, bacteria, and debris out of the system instead of masking it. With roughly 15 years in turf installation and decades as a professional cleaner, he built a process that works with how turf is installed so seams, drainage, infill, and warranties stay protected.

We built Dirty Turf around one standard: show up, extract the odor, leave the yard usable. Here’s how Arizona & Nevada homeowners describe that experience — in their own words.
Excellent, prompt service! I feel confident that he took care of the odors in my backyard From my doggie crew. Thank you!

I gotta be honest, I had doubts about the effectiveness of turf, cleaning, but my entire yard now smells minty fresh, despite my dog’s best effort to pee on every inch of it. They came out promptly. They were great with returning calls. I would definitely use them again.

Getting a quote/scheduling was so easy! I am very busy with 3 kids under 4, so my time is limited and Mike was able to talk to me at 7:30 at night and give me all the details about the cleaning and get me on the schedule.
The guys arrived within the window they said they would be and they did a great job! With two great danes, my dog run was pretty bad, but after they left you’d never know dogs were ever there!
Would absolutely recommend!
Steve and the Dirty Turf team have done an exceptional job at keeping our turf clean over the past year. They are efficient and communicate effectively.

They do amazing work! Most importantly for me is they are honest and won’t try to push extra sales. I tried 2 other companies and the pet smell came back in a couple months. Dirty Turf offered to put me on reoccurring maintenance, but said I probably don’t need it for 12 to 16 months, so their 3 or 6 month plans aren’t needed. Sure enough the smells stayed away for 14 months. Just had them back for a second cleaning and we couldn’t be happier!
Arrived on scheduled and they did a fantastic job. We had the son and father team and they were a pleasure to meet. The owner Steve made an adjustment to the quoted price for me without hesitation and followed up the next…
Arrived on scheduled and they did a fantastic job. We had the son and father team and they were a pleasure to meet. The owner Steve made an adjustment to the quoted price for me without hesitation and followed up the next day checking if everything thing is OK with the turf and the service. Can't go wrong using this service.
Steve sent out his crew the first day, my yard was neglected for over a year with store-bought products and water which eventually were not working. Steve came out on the first try and did the best he could but I still…
Steve sent out his crew the first day, my yard was neglected for over a year with store-bought products and water which eventually were not working. Steve came out on the first try and did the best he could but I still had a smell. I reached out to him and he sent out a crew and they completely knocked it out. I would recommend this company to anyone that needs this service.
Our grass was in horrible shape it stunk so bad and they came out when I needed them too and make it looks so clean and smell so good!
