Built for dogs

Artificial grass that stands up to your pets

Our artificial turf is long-lasting and durable, so it can put up with whatever your dog throws at it. Say goodbye to urine spots and stains and hello to an evergreen lawn you can be proud of. Dogs rarely dig at synthetic turf, so you no longer spend weekends filling holes.

Great drainage means pet waste doesn’t soak in or damage the turf, and clean-up is quick. With no need to water, fertilize or reseed, pet turf also saves money over time.

Whether it is a whole backyard, a side-yard dog run or a pet area at your business, we will recommend turf designed for heavy pet use.

Dog runs

Dog run turf installation

A turf dog run gives your dog a clean, dedicated area to play and relieve itself without turning the yard into mud. Pet turf drains well while still looking and feeling real, and it is easy to keep clean.

We install dog runs along side yards, in corners of the backyard and at pet facilities. At your estimate we look at the space and how your dogs use the yard, then recommend the right turf.

Before you install

What to consider before installing pet turf

Pet turf works best when the turf, the base underneath and the drainage suit how your dogs actually use the yard. These are the points we go through with you at the free estimate.

Drainage and base

Urine and rinse water need to pass straight through. A typical installation removes the existing grass, levels the ground and compacts a base such as crushed stone, which helps water drain and keeps the surface stable.

Turf built for dogs

Look for durable fibers and a strong backing that stand up to claws and running, with a short-to-medium pile that is easy to clean. We compare options with you and explain what each budget gets.

Infill

Infill such as sand or rubber adds resilience and helps the blades stand up. Ask us about the infill options for your dog run at your estimate.

Sun and heat

Synthetic turf can warm up faster than natural grass on sunny days. In a sunny dog run, plan for some shade, and a quick hose-down cools the surface.

Where your dogs go

Fence-line paths, favorite potty spots and gates see the most use. Those are the areas to rinse and brush most often, so it helps to plan them from the start.

Edges and finishing

Edging around the perimeter keeps the turf in place and gives a neat finish against fences, paths and planting beds.

Pet turf care

Keeping pet turf clean and odor-free

A few simple habits keep pet areas fresh. See our turf maintenance guide for the full routine.

1. Pick up solid waste

Let solid waste dry, then pick it up and dispose of it.

2. Hose down weekly

If there is little rain, hose down the areas your pets use about once a week so urine drains away.

3. Use enzyme neutralizers

With more than two pets, enzyme neutralizers safely help control odors.

4. Try a vinegar rinse

Equal parts white distilled vinegar and water can be applied after hosing the turf down.

FAQ

Pet turf questions, answered

What dog owners ask us before switching to artificial grass.

Can dogs pee and poop on artificial grass?

Yes. Pick up solid waste once it dries and hose down the areas your dog uses. Urine drains through the turf, so it won’t leave brown spots.

Will pet urine ruin artificial turf?

No. Artificial turf is a great alternative to rock or concrete for pets, and urine won’t ruin its look. Hose down the areas your pet uses about once a week to keep it fresh.

Will my dog dig up the turf?

Dogs typically don’t feel the urge to dig at synthetic turf. If they do, any damage can be easily repaired.

Is artificial grass safe for pets?

Pet turf is widely used in yards and dog runs. Product specifications vary, so ask for the product information for the turf you are considering, and rinse pet areas regularly. Many of our customers are pet owners who wanted a lawn their dogs couldn’t ruin.

Do I need special drainage for a dog run?

Plan for it. Urine and rinse water need to pass through the turf and into the base below, so a dog run needs a compacted, free-draining base and somewhere for the water to go. We check the ground and drainage at your free estimate.

What should I avoid when cleaning pet turf?

Avoid bleach, solvents and other harsh chemicals. They can damage the turf fibers and leave residue where pets lie and play. Start with water, then household detergent in warm water or an enzyme odor neutralizer. Our article on harsh chemicals and pet stains explains why.

How do I stop pet turf from smelling?

Rinse regularly, especially in dry weather. With multiple pets, an enzyme neutralizer helps control odors, and a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and water can be applied after hosing down.

What is the best artificial grass for dogs?

Turf with good drainage, durable fibers and a strong backing, usually with a short-to-medium pile that is easy to clean. The right choice depends on how many dogs you have and how they use the space, so we compare options with you at your free estimate.
