Most pet owners would think that natural grass is great for dogs, and they wouldn’t be wrong. Dogs have been living in nature in one way or another for a long time, and they love it. But is there a better, more practical alternative for you, the dog owner?
Maintaining your backyard and cleaning up after your dog turns into a huge chore sooner than you think.
We have a solution for you – artificial grass solutions that are specifically designed for pet owners. Apart from having state-of-the-art drainage systems that will almost automatically eliminate pet waste, artificial grass is specifically designed with pet safety in mind. It is perfect for residential applications (in your yard, for instance) and commercial applications as well (like dog parks).
Let’s dive into the specifics and explain why synthetic grass systems are great for your furry friends.
The definition of an artificial turf is pretty intuitive. It is a man-made alternative to natural grass, produced using synthetic fibers that mimic real grass.
There are many different products in this category, but if we are talking about synthetic turf systems for dogs, a good pet turf will be manufactured using quality fibers, it will feature strategically placed drainage holes, and it will have a durable surface that is resistant to pet-related wear and tear.
Unlike natural grass, these systems are designed to combat brown patches and urine pools, and your dog’s paws won’t get dirty in the wet mud. Cleaning dirty dog paws is a chore that becomes tedious after a short while and a rainy period.
There are also many other benefits to consider here.
If you want to replace your natural grass lawn with a synthetic grass solution, you need to be aware of the real benefits you can (and should) expect.
There are many other benefits to expect, but they are case-specific, and we will leave it to you to discover them. It’s time to check out the most important features of an artificial grass pet turf.
Let’s assume that you have decided to get a synthetic turf system. If so, you are surely wondering what to look for. This section will discuss the most important features that every good pet turf should have.
A good drainage layer: Our products with ProFolow technology are designed with a special backing that allows pet urine to drain seamlessly, regardless of location. It’s important to have a solution that drains effectively.
Durable fibers: Your furry friend loves to scratch and dig in the yard. With real grass, they’ll dig holes that you’ll need to fix. But with synthetic turf, they can dig all they want without damaging the surface.
Quality weed membrane: Weeds are the worst enemy in every yard, be it natural or artificial. Good grass systems have a solid weed membrane that mitigates this issue and reduces weeds by a large margin.
A good compacted stone base: No matter what you’re building, you need a good base, and synthetic grass is no different. Look for products with a good stone base that provides a stable surface and adds to the system’s overall resilience.
OK! We discussed the benefits and main features to consider. It’s time to address the main concerns consumers have with these products.
There are many misconceptions about artificial grass, and it’s time they were debunked. Here are the common concerns people have. We will teach you how to avoid getting a bad product.
If you have more concerns, you should contact a professional. They can explain everything in the best possible manner.
First, it is important to state that if you are not familiar with turf installation practices, you should have a professional take care of the installation process. If you are not 100% sure what you are doing, you can end up with something that will have sub-par functionalities.
In any case, whether you are doing it on your own, with a friend, or simply reviewing what professionals are doing, the installation process can be broken down into four steps.
That’s it. After the installation process is complete, it is advisable to inspect the lawn for imperfections every few months and act accordingly.
But what about the price?
As you might have already surmised, installing artificial dog grass is more expensive than simply having a natural lawn. But when you factor in all the maintenance costs that would start racking up if you have real grass, you will quickly see that a pet turf system is a worthwhile investment.
Of course, the final price will depend on the square footage of your lawn and various other factors. We won’t discuss specific numbers, but when you factor in the minimal maintenance required and the amount of water you will save, a synthetic lawn pays for itself in the long run.
After everything mentioned above, there is only one conclusion we can reach. When you factor in the added safety and durability, paired with how easy it is to maintain, artificial grass for dogs is a clear winner here.
As an additional bonus, you will actually save money in the long run, making this an excellent option for anyone looking to eliminate tedious chores from their daily routine and focus on what’s important.
