If you have dogs at home, you probably feel like you’re stuck in an endless battle with your lawn. Between dead patches from pet urine and holes from doggy digging, it can be virtually impossible to maintain your natural grass.

That’s why thousands of pet owners are opting for a pet-friendly synthetic grass installation for their home or business. Artificial grass has numerous benefits for pets and owners alike, so you can rest assured that your pup is having a great time on the soft, cushioned artificial grass while these three major lawn care challenges are being solved by your new landscaping solution.

Muddy Paws and Hole Digging

Every pet owner knows that dogs love to dig. The problem is that digging damages your lawn and lets dogs track dirt and mud into places they shouldn’t. Synthetic grass, however, is woven with durable polyethylene fibers and a resilient polyurethane backing that can resist any attempts to dig through it.

Even in wet or rainy conditions, artificial grass’s lack of soil means that a dog will never get its paws dirty while running around on the turf. This is further aided by synthetic turf’s remarkable drainage system, which drains at a rate of more than 30 inches per hour per square yard. This means that as soon as the thunderstorm clouds have parted, your pup can enjoy a clean, dry backyard right away — and you don’t need to worry about wet paws trampling through your living room.

Dead, Brown Patches

One of the biggest drawbacks of natural grass is that it is easily damaged by dogs going to the bathroom on it. Dog urine is very high in nitrogen, which can end up permanently damaging natural grass by burning out the roots and polluting the soil. This creates dead spots where the grass will always be brown and unsightly, which can only be removed by replacing the soil bed itself.

Synthetic grass, on the other hand, has no soil and isn’t affected by waste, so it will continue to look fresh and green no matter how often dogs relieve themselves on it. Waste can simply be washed away with a hose, and fresheners and odor removers can be used to eliminate the smell afterward.

Pest Infestations

Natural grass can be home to plenty of pests, including fleas, ticks and allergy-causing pollen. When your pup goes outside to play, all these contaminants can infiltrate their coat and leave them irritated at best and in danger at worst.

If you want to protect your furry friend year-round, artificial grass lawn installation is an effective way to eliminate these pests from your backyard and make it a safer and happier place for your pup.

Plus, natural grass lawns need to be treated with a range of chemicals and pesticides to keep these insects and pests at bay. With a turf lawn, you can eliminate the use of these chemicals and ensure that your lawn is non-toxic and always safe for even the smallest members of your household.
